Finding the Right Kawasaki® MULE™ UTV Accessories for You

Heading out in a Kawasaki MULE is guaranteed to offer you a good time, especially if you’re out exploring new trails or you’re nearing the end of a big project. The benefit of using a MULE is its versatility. These side-by-sides offer so many perks, and now might be the time to expand on what you already have. That’s why Richmond Equipment has provided some of the top MULE accessories to improve your next ride. You can also contact us at our location Richmond, Texas, serving Houston and Rosenberg.

Windshield / Cab Enclosure

A windshield and enclosed cab can make a nasty day of work a lot more comfortable. Whether you’re dealing with pounding rain or flying dust, an enclosed cab with a windshield will make your MULE UTV a refuge when the environment is inhospitable. Most windshields and enclosures are fairly easy to install, taking only a few minutes to get secured. Not only will a windshield keep bugs out of your face, but an enclosure can keep intrusive trail elements, like low hanging branches, from slapping you in the face as you roll down the path.

Light Bar

Early mornings and late nights are no problem when you install a light bar on your MULE. Modern LED technology means that you can get superior light with less power, giving your stock headlights a big boost. Light bars come in a variety of sizes, from only a few inches, to several feet long, so you are sure to find one that will fit perfectly on your model. When choosing a light bar make sure it incorporates flood light bulbs to give them a wider diffusion of light. 

Winch

A winch can give you the power you need to get out of a sticky situation, or help you get some heavy haul work done. Whether you encounter a downed tree, or you’re trying to unstick yourself from a hidden mud pit, a winch is a lifesaver. It can also be particularly helpful for the MULE, given that these models are built for hard work and a winch can give a little more muscle power. 

When choosing a winch, make sure you consider the material of the cable (synthetic or wire rope) and the overall power of the winch itself. The last thing you want to do is pull yourself out of a hole only to find you’ve killed your battery and are stuck for a different reason.

Cargo Box

A cargo box is a no-brainer for MULE owners who need to protect their gear. Some loads are just fine riding in the back bed, but for tools, electronics, or your lunch, you’ll want to make sure you’ve got a locking, weatherproof container to keep your load safe. Cargo box options range from large all weather storage, to smaller boxes that are insulated to function as coolers. Even though the MULE offers lots of cargo space on its own, there are ways to improve your transport options to better protect your gear and provide more room for you.

Skid Plate

If you’re tackling tough terrain, you’ll definitely want a skid plate. While most UTVs are designed with generous suspension, and a degree of reinforcement on the underside, a skid plate (also called rock sliders) can keep your investment safe when things get really rough. Skid plates allow you to move easily over sharp, inconveniently located rocks and other obstacles without risking serious damage to the internal components of your MULE side by side. If you live in a rocky region, or just like going out on rock crawls, this is an absolute must-have accessory.

Everyone uses their MULE UTV a little bit differently, and the right set of add-ons and accessories can help you maximize how you use your model around your property, business, or even on the trails.
