For me a Multi-seal in all the tires, 12v tire pump, plug kit, roof(for rainy days and shade in the summer), overhead Big Sky gun rack, Kolpin Gun boots and road feeder. Going to add new lighting this year.

Hood rack to hold a cooler because the bed is always full of crap.

High rack for extra people to tag a long.

Make sure when you put it in reverse it goes backwards and does not grind gears or just rev the engine. Make sure when you put it in park it stays put and does click as it rolls. First dealer told us this was normal. Our Ranger is 6 months old and our Mule never had these types of problems.

That sounds like a serious issue with your Ranger. I have one and have not expierenced any of those problems. I think your dealer is FOS and you should get it checked somewhere else.

Sounds like a linkage adjustment.

good luck with rangers - I had three of them and they progressively got worse and worse on quality. And if you ever need warranty work good luck with Polaris. I am on a lease where there are lots of buggies and most all the newer Polaris's have issues. I changed brands and could not be happier.

Had the service manager at a Polaris dealer tell me that Polaris started "outsourcing" many of their parts and overall quality dropped significantly. Just my experience.

I dont like having to hot wire my stuff, I have and will, but dont like to.

A winch is nice to have. Led light bars on the front/sides/back. Stereo. Heater or heated seats. Gun racks. Slime in the tires. Thats all I have planned for my SxS

Any roof, just to keep the sun and rain off of you. I like the metal roof with rhino/linex.

I've got plashlight.com 2" cubes mounted above the which... I've been happy with them.

Windshield is crucial!!!!!! Those cold mornings with the cold wind blowing in your face sucks. Especially if you take it places. In Missouri driving in our friends was awful because it didn't have a windshield and it was also 20 degrees and 20 mph winds.

A friend called from south Texas wishing that he had a spare axel. Maybe you should add one of those.
