Anyone found seats that can be added to the bed of Polaris Ranger that you really like? Pics or brands would be great. Thanks!

What are you trying to do? If a seat on top of a dog box there are several options available. Best I sat was a seat for an airboat on top of dog box(homemade) job.

I'd go bench seats rather than bucket seats. I'd change but I mostly hunt off a friends Ranger. I only take mine when his Ranger is in the shop which has been often this year. Here's what I now have.

Look for bus seats. They had a thread on it on OT.

You could just put an Igloo ice chest in there or make a wooden bench.

Someone finally came up with a source. I've tried searches on this forum in the past. I'm not very good at them.

I thought a school bus seat would work for my rig but the way most are built it required too much modification and they really are not as sturdy as I needed but I will give them to you if you want them.

Cabela's UTV jump seat

I put one of these in the bed of our Kubota RTV and it worked good. mount rails in the bed, spring pins to remove/install seat. I later built a high rank that I installed the seat on for using to hunt over the top of the cab. pretty sturdy, lightweight, easy install, easy removal and install when you need the bed.

I use this one. Bolts in easy and can be removed with just a few Cotter pins.

Will these mount in the bed of a Polaris Ranger without drilling additional holes? In other words, can you remove and use existing bed bolts?

No. You will have to drill holes. It comes with large washers that go on the underside of the bed to support the weight.

Are you wanting to buy a high rack that sits in the bed? If so my buddy is wanting to sell his, it fits into the holes along the side of the bed and is above the bed so it doesn't eat up storage space.

It's in Eastland County but we can bring it back to DFW area.Polaris Ranger 900 I believe, not sure if that would include other models though.

Going out this weekend, PM me your cell # if you are interested and I can send pics.

Sounds like it will not fit my Ranger EV as it is built on the midsize platform. I would still like to see pictures for ideas though. Thank you.

Are the ones putting high rides doing sometype of fail safe lock system for the dump beds? I know its not likely to let loose on any model but still would just worry me

The Gator is the worst. I bolted mine down.

We bolted the riser through the bed of the RTV, then the cabelas seat is pinned to the riser we built.
