Off-roading is an exhilarating adventure, but it can be challenging and dangerous without the proper equipment. Investing in a few key side by side accessories will enhance your off-roading experience and help you get more out of your ride. In this article, we’ll highlight the top must-have side by side accessories that every rider should have.

Top 3 Side by Side Accessories

Side by side accessories are aftermarket products that enhance the safety, performance, or comfort of your UTV. Having the right UTV parts and accessories can make a world of difference in your riding experience, allowing you to ride for longer periods of time and navigate rough terrain more easily and safely. There are countless side by side accessories to choose from, so we’ve highlighted our top picks below.

UTV Storage Box

A UTV storage box provides you with a secure place to store your UTV equipment, gear, and tools while off-roading. It protects your items from the elements and prevents them from getting lost or stolen while you’re exploring. Storage boxes come in a variety of materials including plastic and aluminum. We love this Ranger Bed Box from QuadBoss – it fits on the side of your UTV bed to maximize bed space, has quick-mount pegs for easy installation, and comes with a lockable latch for security. For even more storage, check out the complete Ranger Cargo Box Set with two large cargo boxes. Other UTV storage solutions to consider include dry bags, hood racks, and covers.

UTV Light Bar

A UTV light bar is another important side by side accessory. A UTV light bar will illuminate the trail ahead while driving at night or in low-light conditions to enhance visibility and safety. There are several different types of light bars to choose from, including spot, flood, and combo light bars. Some of the best brands include Rigid Industries and OpenTrail. This top-of-the-line light bar from Rigid Industries includes GPS technology, 8 selectable beam patterns, integrated optics, accent lighting, a controller, and many other special features!

UTV Winches

A UTV winch is a valuable tool to have on hand in case you get stuck in a sticky situation, which is bound to happen for those who enjoy off-roading in rough terrain. It can help you pull your UTV out of the mud, sand, or snow – and help other vehicles in need. There are different types of winches to choose from, including electric and hydraulic. Two of the best brands for UTV winches are KFI Products and Rival Powersports USA. The new KFI U45-R2 Winch 4500 lb is compact yet powerful. It features quality cast aluminum and durable steel components, water-resistant seals, and a heavy-duty all-metal turn clutch.
