A Ranger 1000 spends long hours outdoors. Feeding cattle, checking fence, hauling feed or riding the back forty, the sun beats down and the rain comes when it wants to. Sitting under an open cage all day gets old fast.
The Polaris Ranger 1000 Plastic Roof from SuperATV, available at Wild Boar ATV Parts, is a straightforward fix. It fits 2020-and-newer Ranger 1000 models and is made of rugged 6 mm thick plastic.
What a roof does for a work machine
A roof keeps sun, rain and debris off the riders. On a hot day, shade over the seats makes a real difference in how long you can comfortably work. In a light rain, it keeps the seats and your lap drier. Riding under trees, it catches the leaves, twigs and acorns that would otherwise end up in the cab. It is one of the simplest accessories that most Ranger owners feel every time they climb in.
For anyone who uses the Ranger as a daily work tool, comfort adds up over a season. Less sun and less rain means less fatigue by the end of the day.
Plays well with other accessories
Many riders end up building out the cab one piece at a time. SuperATV notes that this roof works with most aftermarket windshields and mirrors, so it should not box you in when you add those later. That is worth thinking about if you plan to add a windshield before winter or mirrors for trailer work.
Easy install, quiet ride
SuperATV includes all the hardware and instructions needed for installation, and the roof is designed for a snug, rattle-free fit. A roof that rattles over every bump gets annoying fast on a machine you use every day, so that fit matters. Most owners can install it in the driveway with basic tools and a helper to hold the roof in place while the hardware goes on. Check the hardware after the first few rides and snug anything that has settled.
A roof also gives you a base for adding other cab accessories down the road.
Fitment
This roof is listed for the Polaris Ranger 1000 from 2020 on. Polaris has made several Ranger variants with different cages, so double-check your model and year before you order. If you have questions about how it will work with your current accessories, call the Wild Boar team at 850-912-4350.
