posted on March 27, 2013

The UTV aftermarket is huge, and a huge player in it is Moose Utility Division (M.U.D.). In the Moose catalog, enthusiasts can find more than 200 products listed for UTVs and ATVs. A sampling of the items M.U.D. offers are made specifically for the Yamaha Rhino UTV; many others are universal and are designed to fit most if not all UTVs. M.U.D. offers a huge selection of engine, electrical, suspension, CVT, tires, wheels, axle assemblies, brakes, trailer ramps, tie-downs, electronics carriers and more that are not included in this roundup.

Universal Gear
UTV Bow Carrier is a practical, space-saving method for safely transporting a bow. It mounts on a bracket that attaches to all UTVs with cab frames that measure 50 inches to 64 inches wide. Tension-loaded holding cradles grip the limbs of any bow to prevent it from touching anything.
