​The Top 5 Best Polaris RZR Mounting Accessories

Whether you’re mounting some aftermarket accessories on your Polaris RZR XP 1000, or attaching a few in-cab electronics like phones, tablets, and GPS units to the dash of your RZR Turbo, there are many great mounts and mounting accessories out there for the Polaris RZR. From fuel pack mounts and cooler mounts to light bar mounts and whip light mounts, if you can name an off-road product, there’s surely to be another off-road product designed to mount it properly. Quick-release mounts, for example, are used to hold things like fire extinguishers for obvious reasons, but you can also find quick-release Polaris RZR steering wheel hubs as well quick-release harness clips / anchors for your 4-point or 5-point seat belts. Conversely, when you want your mounts to be 100% secure 100% of the time – say, to mount a spare tire and rim, a gun, or a rooftop tent – different mechanisms including c-clamp mounts, bolt-and-washer mounts, and Polaris RZR roll cage mounts are tried and true. Although different applications and riding environments may necessitate the use of different accessories and mounting styles, here are the top five best Polaris RZR mounting accessories that riders admit to using!

Best Polaris RZR Mounts For In-Cab Electronics

Polaris RZR Tablet Mounts

Forget about Ride Command! With a cheap Walmart tablet secured with a Polaris RZR tablet holder from Everything Polaris RZR, you can get global positioning coordinates, digital maps, pre-loaded music, and a whole lot more, all while staying well within your budget! A cheap yet risky hack for mounting tablets in side-by-sides is to use Velcro. For mild applications and short-term durations, this might be sufficient. But after a hot summer, a cold winter, or even just a few days and nights where the temperature violently fluctuates, you’ll find that the glue on the back of the Velcro starts to lose its stickiness.

Another way to quickly mount a tablet in a Razor is to stick it to the windshield with a suction cup mounting device. But for a more permanent solution, either dash-mounted tablet holders or cage-mounted tablet holders that can mount anywhere on the roll cage – from the roll bars to the a-pillars – are superior choices. Some Polaris RZR tablet mounts are made for specific types of tablets, while others are adjustable and accommodating of all kinds of differently-sized tablets. Polaris RZR iPad mounts are good for Apple users; simply download Ride Command and the GPS chip inside will take over. Plus, if you’re close enough to civilization, you might have cell service and the ability to generate a hotspot with your iPad. Unless you’ve got a waterproof tablet case, however, a standard iPad will likely succumb to the elements after short periods of time exposed to moisture, mud, dust, and extreme temperatures.

A popular off-road-centric tablet for the Polaris RZR is the Onn Tablet, which comes with a dedicated GPS chip for maps, metrics, and positioning data as well as a dust-repellant screen that can be adjusted either daytime or nighttime riding. And if you’ve got a Bluetooth sound bar in your bike, the Onn Tablet makes for the perfect multimedia control center!

Polaris RZR Phone Mounts

When off-roading, trail riding, or overlanding, a smartphone can do everything -- if not more than -- a tablet can do. Because they’re smaller, however, they’re easier to lose. So if you’re the type of person who throws your phone on the dash and forgets about it until you hear something go flying, a Polaris RZR phone mount will save you from having to make costly phone repairs after shattering your screen.

Phones can slip out and fall under the seat when you put them on your side pant pockets, and riding with a phone in your back pocket is quite uncomfortable. And while you might think the front shirt pocket is the ticket, make sure to not forget it's there if you ever crouch down or bend over!

One Polaris RZR phone mount trick is to Zip-Tie an extra Otterbox belt clip to the roof, but for staunch security and a streamlined look, you can’t beat Ram mounts. The Ram X phone mount has a claw / clamp in the shape of an X which can hold tight through everything. It can be attached anywhere from the edge or center column of a grab handle to the a-pillar above your side mirrors. And in addition to holding strong with every bounce, you can even get a Ram mount with built-in wireless phone charging capabilities that'll juice up your devices whenever they're being held.

Other options for Polaris RZR phone mounts include Quad Lock phone mounts, Mob Armor phone mounts, and lower-end SxS phone mounts by companies like Techform that only work 60% of the time, every time!

Polaris RZR GPS Mounts

No matter how fancy your phone or tablet is, it’ll never compete with a standalone GPS unit designed exclusively for off-road applications. On top of navigation, GPS devices are also capable of tracking your speed, elevation, route, and a whole lot more -- with a near-endless supply of loadable maps that can be downloaded from various places online. 

To hold that GPS in place, a Polaris RZR GPS mount is highly advised. You can use a steering wheel column mount like the ones by Axia Alloys, a grab handle GPS mount like the ones by UTV Inc, or an in-dash GPS mounting plate / bracket to hold the face of the GPS flush with your dash / center console.

Best Polaris RZR Mounts For Functionality

Polaris RZR Winch Mounts

Winches are among the most functional UTV accessories you can get. They’ll pull you out of sticky situations – whether you get high centered while hill climbing or bogged down while mudding – and they're great for operating tools such as farming implements, snow plows, and even hunting hoists for dressing deer, elk, or antelope. A winch, however, is only as good as its mount!

For muddy applications, the Polaris RZR bumpers with built-in winch mounts by firms like EMP, Rogue Offroad, and BM Fabrication come in handy because they position the winch higher up in relation to the rest of the vehicle. In this way, the winch and winch line are closer to the surface, and thus easier to access should you get stuck in a mud hole, trapped in a pond, or buried in a snowdrift. ORB winch bumpers work great with the Badlands 5K winch, while L&W Fab as well as S3 Powersports winch bumpers are perfect for the 6K Black Ops winch by SuperATV. Or if you want a standard winch mounting bracket, the ones by KFI Products, Rough Country, and EMP all work equally well!

Polaris RZR Plow Mounts

Any good snow plow kit for the Polaris RZR will include a mount. But if you’re looking for a replacement plow mount or upgraded plow mount, there are options to be had. It’s important to not confuse the plow mount with the plow’s push frame / push tubes. The mount is the segment that attaches to your bike, while the push tube is the part which extends between the plow mount and the plow blade. Not all plow mounts for the Polaris RZR are universal, and a brand-specific mount might be required.

Honorable Mentions

Polaris RZR Flag Mounts

Some folks weld tabs onto their Razors for the purpose of holding flags, while others use flag pole receiver hitches. Broomsticks are sometimes used in lieu of fiberglass rods for flagpoles, and you can even fly a flag from your whip lights. Although you should have holes in the bed of your RZR XP 900/1000/Turbo for flags, you might want to use a cage-mounted flag holder like the ones by ModQuad instead. Alternatively, easy-fold flag mounts like the ones by Moose make it quick and easy to lower and raise the flag when going through thick forests, underneath short bridges, and into enclosed toy haulers.

Polaris RZR GoPro Mounts

This last honorable mention for the Top Five Best Polaris RZR Mounting Accessories isn’t crucial for a majority of riders… but it is fun! Using a tube-mounted GoPro holder like the ones by Axia alloys or a ball adapter to hold a GoPro with your Ram mount, you can capture your crazy-technical lines through rock gardens, your jumps over sand dunes, or the scenic views / wildlife you see along the way!
