Our Polaris Ranger 900 \/ 1000 Rear Bumper w\/ Lights and Winch Mount<\/a> gives the back of your Ranger a winch-ready setup, plus plug-and-play LED lighting.<\/p>\n

Rangers spend a lot of time in reverse. Backing trailers, backing into barns, backing down to a boat ramp or pond bank.

This bumper has integrated plug-and-play LED lights with a wiring harness. Rear lighting makes it easier to see when backing up after dark, hooking a trailer at night, or working behind the machine in low light. The included harness means you are not splicing into factory wiring.<\/p>\n
