UTV & Side By Side | MunroPowersports.com | Munro Industries mp-10080204
ATVs (All Terrain Vehicles) are a blast to ride off-road, especially when you’re out with friends or family on their quads. But what if a friend, family member or significant other wants to come along for the fun but doesn’t have an ATV or know how to ride? Most ATVs aren’t designed to carry passengers and doing so can unbalance the machine and interfere with the rider’s ability to control it, creating an unsafe condition for both rider and passenger. A UTV (Utility Task Vehicle), commonly known as a side-by-side (SxS), is the answer. Unlike a quad where one rider straddles the machine and steers with handlebars, like on a motorcycle, UTVs are configured like cars, with bench or bucket seats for 2 or 4 people and an automotive style steering wheel, shifter and foot controls, and many have seat belts and roll cages for safety. As the name suggests, the first UTVs were fitted with cargo boxes and intended for utilitarian use and this type of UTV remains popular for hauling, towing, and other tasks on farms and ranches, and by landscapers, grounds crews, security personnel and many others. In addition to these workhorses, today there are recreational/utility UTVs that excel at work and play and sport side-by-sides designed for high-performance off-road thrills and you’ll find a huge selection of parts & accessories for all of them at MunroPowersports.com.
A no-start or breakdown can ruin a riding trip or keep important jobs from getting done. Regular maintenance is the best way to ensure your SxS is always ready to go when you are, reliably performs to its potential and lasts a long time, and we have everything you need for any maintenance service job. We have premium motor oils specially formulated for the unique demands of UTVs, which provide lubrication and protection for engines operated at high rpms and under severe operating conditions, and protection against corrosion during extended storage periods. We also have coolant and brake fluid for topping off and changes; final drive gear oil, including oil appropriate for UTV wet brakes; chain lubricant; grease for driveline and suspension fittings; air and oil filters; air filter cleaners and oil; spark plugs; fuel stabilizer to prevent fuel from breaking down during storage and damaging your fuel system; and much more.
We also have the tools and equipment you’ll need to properly complete maintenance and repair tasks including tire pressure gauges, fluid drain pans, spark plug sockets and gappers, and stands and lifts to support your SxS during service and enable access to service areas. Plus, we have parts for major and minor repairs, including brake pads, batteries, starters, alternators and charging system stators, radiators and water pumps, driveshafts and U-joints, axles and CV joints, boots for CV joints and steering racks, chains and sprockets, CV transmission belts, and more, as well as fuel cans, and special tools for engines, transmissions, clutches, drivelines, and suspensions. And if you need some service guidance we have repair manuals with easy to follow, step-by-step maintenance, repair, and diagnostic procedures, and detailed illustrations and photographs.
However, with our huge selection of UTV parts & accessories you can do much more than maintenance and repairs, you can also upgrade your machine’s performance, functionality and appearance. We offer washable, reusable high-flow air filters as well as complete air intake systems to improve airflow into your engine, including cold air intakes that isolate the filter from engine heat, enabling it to take in cooler, denser air for improved combustion and more power, and snorkels that allow you to cross deep water without the risk of sucking water into your engine. Plus, we have complete exhaust systems and slip-on mufflers to increase exhaust flow and give your machine the rumble and roar to go with the power. And if you want even more power we have carburetor jet kits, tunable fuel control modules, digital ignition modules, CDI boxes, high-voltage coils, and even nitrous oxide systems. You can take your UTV’s handling to new levels with our performance shocks and springs, increase ground clearance for greater off-road capabilities with a lift kit, get smoother and easier steering with an electronic power steering conversion kit, and improve durability with upgraded, heavy-duty ball joints and A-arm bushings.
You’ll get more utility, enjoyment, and overall value from your 4-wheeler if you improve its functionality. Most UTVs are natural haulers and we can help make cargo carrying more organized, secure and efficient with our huge selection of cargo boxes and bags; roll cage mount holders, bags, and organizers; gun and bow racks; and bed mount, hood mount, and roof mount cargo racks. Plus, we have the tie-down straps, cargo nets, and bungee cords needed to secure gear on racks and in the bed, and you can protect the bed with a cargo mat. We also have storage solutions that put interior space to work including overhead storage bags and center storage bags, and storage bags for doors and console. Some UTVs come with winches but if yours didn’t or you want more pulling power we offer a large selection of electric winches in various capacities as well as winch mounting kits, winch covers, fairleads, replacement wire cable and synthetic rope, corded and cordless remote controls, and all the winching necessities including safety straps, tow straps, tree trunk protectors, snatch blocks, shackles, winch dampers, and gloves. With a winch you’ll never have to worry about getting stuck when you’re off-roading, and a winch can also be used for moving heavy objects like rocks or logs, and if you want to use your UTV for plowing snow, a winch is a necessity for most plow kits to raise and lower the blade.
Another must have UTV accessory is a receiver hitch. We offer front and rear receiver hitches; trailers and trailer couplers; extension tubes, adapters, and ball mounts for towing trailers and mounting equipment like spreaders and sprayers, lawn rollers and sweepers, and hitch systems for mounting landscape rakes, disc plows, and cultivators. Plus, you can install hitch mount accessories like cargo racks. Mounting a hard or soft roof on your SxS will give you protection from the elements and a full or half windshield will block the wind and roost, but that’s not all you can do with your four-wheeler’s exterior. You can add protection and rugged looks with tough tubular bumpers, nerf bars, and skid plates; create a more enclosed cabin with door and hinge kits; improve visibility with custom side mirrors; and add unique style with a custom hood, mesh grille, gas cap cover, and graphics kit. We also have what you need for cabin upgrades including custom steering wheels, shifters, and shift knobs; comfortable and supportive racing style suspension seats, seat covers, and safety harness systems; and custom gauge bezels and dash kits.
UTVs are primarily designed for daylight use, and the factory lighting may not provide the illumination you need for safe wheeling in darkness. You can upgrade your headlights with a LED or HID conversion kit. Both are several times brighter than halogen bulbs and vibration resistant, and we have RGB LED conversion kits that allow you to create multicolour special effects with your headlights, that you control from a smartphone app. But for a significant illumination upgrade you need additional lighting and we have it. We have HID and LED fog, auxiliary, and driving lights in many sizes and round and cube shapes, as well as LED light bars in a range of lengths, number of LED rows and number of LEDs. These are available in a variety of lumen and wattage ratings, with clear or amber lenses, for reduced glare and better visibility in foggy and dusty areas, and with spot, flood or combo beam patterns. One of the easiest ways to give your SxS an appearance and illumination upgrade is with one of our custom grilles that incorporate an LED light bar. All our off-road lights are extensively tested for durability, and only lights that can operate flawlessly during extreme temperature variations, and pass water spray or submersion tests, and vibration tests simulating off-road conditions, end up on our digital shelves.
Whether you’re out on the trails having fun or working hard on the job, you can stay connected and be informed and entertained when aboard your UTV with our electronics gear. We have Bluetooth headsets designed for easy installation on a variety of helmet styles that can be wirelessly connected to smartphones, GPS units, iPods and MP3 players. These include microphone, speakers, and a control module that can be easily operated with gloves, so you can make calls, listen to music, and get spoken directions. We also have Bluetooth communication systems that connect to Bluetooth headsets, allowing complete voice command control. Some Bluetooth units can be paired with other headsets, enabling communication with a passenger and other riders within a certain range. If you’d rather rock out the traditional way with external speakers, we have weatherproof Bluetooth receiver and remote-control units that can be wirelessly connected to smartphones, iPods and MP3 players and work with any amplifier; 2 and 4 channel class D amplifiers up to 800W; universal fit and vehicle specific weather resistant speakers and subwoofer enclosures, and complete audio systems with Bluetooth receiver and amplified speakers and subwoofer.
No matter how or where you use your UTV, we have the appropriate tires for the terrain, from versatile all-terrain tires to aggressive mud tires, paddle tires for deep sand to racing tires, and turf saver tires specially designed to prevent lawn damage. In addition to these tread patterns our tires come in both radial and bias-ply constructions, with various ply ratings, and in widths and diameters for fitment on all popular UTVs. And you can order your tires mounted on custom rims that will enhance the look of your SxS and be a functional upgrade as well. Cast aluminum wheels are lighter than steel, and our flow-formed or forged aluminum alloy UTV rims are even lighter. Lighter wheels reduce unsprung weight, which means the suspension on your UTV will be better able to keep the wheels and tires planted on the ground for traction to power your way over any terrain. We offer a large assortment of spoke shapes and patterns, wheel face and lip configurations, in a wide range of finish treatments, including gloss, satin, and matte black and many other colors, and polished, brushed and chrome. Many wheels have special effects including two-tone, complementary and contrasting color accents, machined spoke faces and milled accents, real and simulated beadlocks, and much more.
With our huge selection of riding gear, you’ll have no problem getting your body outfitted for off-road adventures. We have strong, yet lightweight dirt bike helmets with plenty of venting to keep you cool, removable and washable liners and cheek pads, in your choice of colors and wild graphics. Plus, we have a huge selection of goggles as well as full face, dual sport, and open face helmets. On our virtual shelves you’ll also find supportive, comfortable boots with shin guards, rigid toe boxes with steel reinforced toe caps and pivot points that allow easy ankle articulation, and comfortable, protective gloves for both warm and cold weather riding. Our lightweight, vented jerseys will keep you cool in hot weather and they’re available with matching vented pants, and for cold weather riding start with a moisture-wicking base layer and finish with waterproof, textile pants and jacket, some that incorporate body armor in the form of elbow and shoulder guards and a back protector in the jacket, and pants with armor at the knees and hips. We also offer a full complement of separate body armor specifically designed for the dirt including ballistic jerseys that can be worn under a jersey or by themselves and include full torso and elbow protection, spine protection and built-in kidney belt, as well as neck braces, chest protectors, and knee braces.
