I'm not sure but ask Titos on here as he's the interior decorater of options. 🤣

 

Gilomen tune and clutch kit!

 

Not necessarily an accessory but option down the road. He said a 2025 model that way he'll see the before and after results.

 

I guess I have to live up to expectations now.
Here's what I did, based on feedback from others. A year later and I love this holder setup!

Awesome. Thx

 

If the included poly roof does not have the felt liner on the underside, I would definitely order that. The liner reduces noise a lot. It's kind of amazing how much. No roof is quietest, roof without liner is the loudest, roof with liner is almost as good as no roof for noise. The plastic roof reflects some of the sound back down to you, so you get to hear it all twice. Plus the felt liner is just nice looking and premium feeling.

EDIT: Here's the liner: Premium Roof Liner | Polaris RANGER

No lines so I wouldn't have thought of that but great idea. I have ordered a cargo mat because on my old SxS it was a huge help.

 

Other common things people do to their Rangers
1) Work lights mounted above the rear panel. Sometimes to the welded bracket up there. Sometimes using the screw holes that secure the roof (my choice)
2) Backup lights mounted under the bed. Either hooked to backup beeper leads or new for some 2025 machines, dedicated backup leads
3) Tunes
4) Cab lighting

 

If you ride at night, I would recommend the Polaris bumper lights that are available for the '25 front bumper openings (they have a good flood pattern) and the rear bed light that also works as a reverse light, it's super bright.

I wasn't a fan of the headlights, so I also have upper and lower light bars; My headlights were aimed super high and needed adjusted down alot, but even then, I wasn't impressed with the output.

 

Did you buy online from Polaris? or from another source?

 

Full pic of front facing lights:

 

Thanks. You have the XP bumper. I do not. Mine doesn't have the same spots for the two front side lights. Just the center one. This helps a lot though.

 

An uber subscription or a tow rope….for when it leaves you stranded and broken.😂

 

Here are the part numbers and pricing I was given.

Front center light:
2889788 K-ltbar, pa, 10sgl, spot $186
2883230 k-accy,lgtbar,1 lt, zs $136 (harness I think.

Rear light:
2889679 k-accy, harness, reverse, light $158
2889672 k-accy, worklight $263

Labor $450 (ouch).

 

I gotcha, I thought yours wld have the new bumper but apparently I was mistaken, apologies for that. The front light bars are fairly easy to install, bottom being easier than top due to access and wiring, but the rear cab light wasn't something I wanted to deal with due to removal of the roof, tying into reverse wire lead, running wiring back up to the front with 3 position switch, etc.

I was able to get a discount on installation since they already had to remove the roof for my audio upgrade and other items, so I worked it out line by line with the parts folks so I didn't pay labor / time for a function that was already being paid for with another install ... I got a bit of a side-eye about it, but I knew that my local dealer built in all aspects of time when removing certain parts, etc so they didn't argue when I pointed out the redundant charges.

If you're able to wrench on your own, the Polaris instructions are usually pretty good about explaining everything, and while I wrench on most of my machines, I opted to have them do these due to all of other things being done at the time (and I was flying out of town for work, so I bit the bullet and had them do it for me so I could just pick it back up and head out to our planned vacation trip with the buggy when I got back from work).

 

For whatever it is worth, you do not need to buy Polaris branded accessories. Some of the Polaris branded accessories are really good. Front and rear glass, roofs, and doors especially. Lighting and others not as much. Polaris tries very hard to close their ecosystem and verticalize their market. To train their customers that the only options are Polaris options.

For myself, I tend to buy Polaris branded cab accessories and tend to not buy Polaris branded anything else. I would especially avoid Polaris branded audio gear. And their lighting options are silly expensive and mediocre performance (with some exceptions, like everything).

They are also seemingly deaf and blind. I bet several hundred thousand Rangers have backup lights installed. Only in 2025 is this quasi-officially supported. And no actual Polaris product to do it. So don't think they have any sort of idea what we want. As far as I can tell, they just make (re-brand) random stuff and hope it sells.

Anyways, I didn't start this to be a tirade, lol.
If you want lighting options, there are soooooo many examples of sweet setups here on the forum. Using ingenuity and creativity and non-Polaris stuff.

Agree 100%, and Rigid lights from Polaris are overpriced for what they are ... seem to be dumbed down for Polaris based on other Rigid lights I have on alot of other equipment I have that are far brighter (and the smaller 10" lower light I have from them kills my radio reception due to interference where the larger upper roof bar doesn't and still waiting for a response on the ticket my dealer has open with the Polaris Mothership on how they will fix).

Plenty of options out there, was just speaking to what I had hands-on knowledge of.

 

While you can't buy anything from this forum, all the info you need to make good buying decisions is on this forum. Invest time in reading, searching, participating.
If you know what you want, search for it here using the search feature. Pay attention to the date and the model of Ranger being discussed.
If you don't know what you want, just go spelunking through the forums.

Your machine is compatible with most accessories made for a Ranger 1000, regardless of year. There are a number of exceptions, so double check first. And in most cases, if you come across something you like/want, there will be a version for your machine. So don't get stuck on looking for 2025 specific things.

Many/most of the accessories I have added to the Rangers I have owned weren't made for a specific Ranger. Or indeed a Ranger at all. It's important you decide what you want first and then figure out how to get there. You can save a crap ton of money doing the wiring or the fabricating yourself and avoiding "kits". And the end result will also be better or closer to your vision. Instead of one-size-fits-all, the thing will be exactly as you want it.

 

I installed a delay wiper kit. 0-30 seconds. Get your front wheels aligned. Have them straight.

 

Yup, mine were out of alignment as well, had to keep the steering wheel at 10 o'clock to keep it straight on the road until they fixed it.

 

Do people really change the oil and filter after 25 hours? And did you put in synthetic?

 

Yes

 

IMHO, 1st svc after break-in is the most important on any equipment; I've always found some level of metal shavings on the magnets on all my equipment due to the inherent action of break-in.

Oil is subjective based on your uses & experience, using manufacturer recommended fluids & filters is good practice unless you have experience in cross referencing fluid types / viscosity, specs, etc & know what you're doing.

Personally, I use higher grade fluids in some of my equipment that works harder in hotter temps at higher RPMs (37 HP Scag and 50 Hp tractor get better than OEM spec)

As cheap as fluids / filters are, it's inexpensive insurance and makes warranty claims easier if something were to happen.

Just my opinion, and there's lots of differing opinions out there, but thats what I do....
