Tools and Accessories
As a Polaris Ranger Mid-Size owner, it's essential to have certain tools and accessories on hand, no matter how far out you ride or how many rigs are in your convoy. While some of these may seem obvious, it's always better to be prepared than caught off guard. A snatch block, winch straps, a first aid kit, flashlight, and patch kit are a great start. However, there are several other items that you should keep in the glove box of your Mid-Size Ranger. These include a bug net, Polaris Mid-Size manual, registration and insurance documents, a spare key, a flat tire kit, star driver and bits, maps and trail agreements, and a pad of paper and pencil. Whether you're headed out on a quick ride or a long adventure, having these essential tools and accessories will give you peace of mind and help ensure a safe and enjoyable trip.

Starting with under-seat storage, it's wise to keep a few crucial items that could help you out of a tough spot. First and foremost, a spare drive belt is a must-have.

A hunting bag containing compasses, knives, flashlights, and a multi-purpose tool can help if you get lost or find yourself in a survival situation. Additionally, jumper cables or an external battery jumper can be a lifesaver if you're riding with only one machine.
For back storage pockets, it's smart to have a few key items on hand.

In addition to a full set of sockets and metric and standard wrenches, it's wise to carry a variety of pliers, including slip jaws, vice grips, and needle nose pliers. Finally, a jack can prove highly beneficial in many situations and can be mounted on the exterior of your Mid-Size Ranger, saving space in the bed and cab. A UTV toolbox can also keep all these tools and supplies safe and organized.
As a UTV rider, your safety should always be your top priority. Having these essential items stored in your vehicle can give you peace of mind and help you tackle any situation that may arise on your next adventure.
