Where to start
Spare tire carriers. The decision is where the spare rides. Cage mounts hang it above the cab: the universal roll cage carrier clamps to 1.5 to 2 inch tube and takes up to a 30 inch tire, plus model-specific cage carriers for the RZR XP 1000 and Turbo, the Pro XP, and the Maverick X3 (32 inches). Bed mounts hold it upright against a bed wall: the Bed-Mount Spare Tire Carrier for Polaris Ranger & More and the Defender holder both adjust for 26 to 33 inch tires with no drilling. Tusk adds a hitch mounted carrier for the Polaris General, a low rear mount for the RZR, and bumper, rack, and carrier combos for the RZR. The Maverick R gets a rear rack and carrier with gas strut lift assist.
Gun and tool racks. Kemimoto gun and tool racks, sorted by mounting method. Lock and Ride style racks plug into the 1.4 inch anchors on a Ranger or General bed. Ratcheting racks fit Can-Am plunger anchors, CFMoto quick-attach holes, or the 1 inch tie down slots on a RZR, and the jaws close to the exact diameter of a bow, axe, or auger. Tube clamps cover 0.75 to 1.25 inch and 1.75 to 2 inch round bars. Placement runs overhead, floor mount vertical, under seat, a rifle holder that drops into a dash cup holder, and a double crossbow rack with four gun holders. See the Ranger hunting accessories guide for the full setup.
Winch mounts. SuperATV winch mounting plates cut for specific Polaris Ranger, RZR, and Can-Am Maverick models, most in 3/16 inch steel plating with a powder coating, plus a receiver hitch winch mount in 1/4 inch steel plating that installs on any 2 inch receiver. They are designed to work with SuperATV's Black Ops winches, and most can be ordered with or without a winch. The winches themselves are in UTV winches.
Parent-level parts. Wavian steel can holders: a top loading 10 liter, a top loading 20 liter, and a front loading 20 liter that mounts vertical or horizontal, each with pre-drilled holes and a padlock tab. The Tusk Receiver Hitch for Polaris RZR bolts a standard 2 inch receiver on with factory hardware. Then a Tusk harness bar for 4 and 5 point harnesses, billet aluminum X3 grab handles, the XTR adapter plate that puts a RotoPax pack mount on a 15 series extrusion rack, a Quiet-Glide skid plate slider, and a Wavian nozzle holder clip. The RotoPax pack mounts and plates themselves live in fuel.

What to know before you order
Tire size and tube size are the two numbers to have in hand. Every carrier lists a maximum or a range, 30 inches on the cage mounts, 32 on the X3, 26 to 33 on the Ranger and Defender bed mounts, and a bigger tire will not go where a smaller one does. Tube clamps are the same story. Year ranges matter on the RZR carriers, one is 2014 to 2023 and another 2020 to 2024. The Wavian holders come without the can, and the Tusk combos are the only carriers here that replace the rear bumper, so decide that before buying a standalone carrier. On the winch mounts, read the fitment notes: the Can-Am Maverick plate will not fit with the factory Can-Am bumper, and the 2017 to 2022 Ranger Midsize mounts are only compatible with the 3500 lb winch.
From MaxtOffroad
The Tusk Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier for Polaris General is the one we would point a General owner at first. It slides into the receiver so the bed stays open, and it comes with an anti-rattle silent hitch pin, which is the part that stops the clunk and sway a loose spare makes on rough trail. It is built specifically for the General, so it is not the answer for a Ranger; the bed mount carrier is.
Frequently asked questions
Which spare tire carrier fits a Polaris Ranger?
The Bed-Mount Spare Tire Carrier for Polaris Ranger & More. It clips to the edge of the cargo bed with no drilling, adjusts for 26 to 33 inch tires, and holds the spare against one wall so the bed stays usable.
Do the gun racks require drilling?
Most do not. They use Lock and Ride anchors, Can-Am plunger anchors, CFMoto quick-attach holes, tie down slots, or tube clamps. One three-way ratcheting rack lists a drillable flat surface as an option alongside square and round bars.
Do the Wavian can holders include the can?
No. The holders are sold without the can. The 10 and 20 liter Wavian fuel cans and the 22 liter water cans are in the fuel category.
Where are the RotoPax mounts?
Under fuel, alongside the packs they hold. The only RotoPax part filed here is the XTR adapter plate, which lets a pack mount bolt to a 15 series extrusion rack.
