Fitment comes first with Ranger doors, because Polaris runs two different Full-Size cabs. The XP 1000 has used the same cab design since 2018, so most XP 1000 door kits fit 2018 and newer without fuss. The 570, 900, and older 1000 use a different cab, and Crew and XD 1500 models have different hinge locations entirely — Spike's framed upper doors, for example, fit the XP 1000 with Pro-Fit cage but specifically will not fit Crew or XD 1500. Every kit on this page lists its models and years; check yours against the fitment chart, or let our Ranger team confirm it before you order — call (920) 214-8135 or text (920) 644-5280.
Four door builds, four different jobs:
| Door type | Construction | Best for | What you give up |
|---|---|---|---|
| Soft / mesh doors | Polymer fabric, vinyl, or canvas (Seizmik, GCL UTV, Spike) | Lowest cost; keeps brush and most mud out; stows easily off-season | Least sealing and impact protection; no hard latch |
| Half doors | Steel or aluminum-skinned frames (ThumperFab — built in Texas; High Lifter; SuperATV) | Farm and trail use with constant in-and-out; blocks mud, branches, and lower-body wind while keeping full airflow | Upper body stays open to rain and cold |
| Full framed doors | Tubular aluminum frame with perimeter bulb seals and finished interior panels (Spike) | Winter work, plowing, and cold-country riding — a sealed cab without poly-door pricing | Cab heat in summer unless you vent or pull them |
| Full poly doors | Molded poly with tight factory-style seal and no-rattle hinges; some models offer sliding or power windows (SuperATV, Spike) | Riders who want the tightest seal and quietest cab, buy-once-run-year-round | Highest cost of the four |
What separates good hardware from rattletraps. A door announces its quality every time it closes. Look for perimeter bulb seals rather than bare frame edges, automotive-style latches with a slam-shut mechanism — SuperATV's R Series latches close like a truck door — and pre-assembled shipping, which turns installation from an afternoon into minutes. SuperATV's Full-Size doors pair a metal frame with a powder-coated aluminum skin bent to match the Ranger's body lines, so they hold up to daily knocks without adding full-steel weight. And hinge hardware matters more than most buyers expect: a worn or sloppy hinge is why old doors sag and bind, which is exactly the problem AJK Offroad's machined pin-and-barrel hinges exist to solve.
What to budget. Costs climb in this order: soft doors, then half doors, then framed full doors, then full poly — with power-window poly kits at the top of the range. Price bands for Ranger doors run between $800 and $ 2,500. Warranty coverage varies by brand; SuperATV backs its parts with a 3-month warranty against manufacturing defects,which is pretty common. Every hard-door kit here ships with mounting hardware and instructions — no welding, no frame drilling.
Q: What's the difference between full doors and half doors — which should I actually get? Comes down to what you're trying to keep out. Half doors block mud, brush, branches, and most of the wind below the waist — perfect if you mostly want to keep your legs and the cab interior clean on trails, fields, or food plots. Full doors add upper protection from rain, snow, and serious cold, which matters if you're working all winter, hauling crew, or hunting in nasty weather. A lot of Full-Size XP 1000 owners run half doors most of the year and swap to full doors plus a windshield and roof for winter. If you only want to buy once, get full doors — they cover both situations.
Q: Do these doors fit my specific year and trim, or are there compatibility issues? Most aftermarket Full-Size doors fit a range of years within the same body style — for example, XP 1000 doors typically fit 2018+ models because Polaris kept that cab design consistent. But the 570, 900, and older 1000 use a different cab, so make sure the door kit specifically lists your trim and year. The ThumperFab and DragonFire kits in this lineup are XP 1000 / 1000 specific, and Spike's framed doors won't fit Crew or XD 1500 models due to different hinge locations. If you're on a 570 or 900, check the product page fitment chart before you buy or call us — we'd rather catch the wrong fit upfront than have you deal with a return.
Q: How long do these take to install, and do I need anything beyond basic tools? Plan on 1–2 hours per door for full doors, less for half doors. You'll need a socket set, an Allen wrench, and ideally a second person to hold the door while you line up the hinges. The hardest part is alignment — getting the latch to close smoothly without binding takes a couple of adjustments. The Spike Powersports full door kit comes pre-assembled with the cage mount, which makes that install easier than most, and SuperATV's doors arrive pre-assembled as well. No welding, no drilling on the frame, no specialty tools — if you've installed a winch or a bumper, you're more than capable of doing doors.
Q: Will full doors make the cab hot in summer? Yes, that's the tradeoff. Full doors with a windshield and roof can make the cab uncomfortably warm on hot days, especially sitting still or working at low speed. Most riders with full doors run sliding window inserts so they can vent airflow when it heats up. The other common move is pulling the doors entirely for summer — quality kits come off in 10–15 minutes once you've done it once. Run them fall through spring, off in summer.
