But fear not, because Side by Side Source has you covered with a comprehensive selection of mounts and brackets designed specifically for UTV applications, from simple cup holders that keep drinks secure to heavy-duty tool mounts, light mounting systems, bed accessory brackets, and precision-machined billet accessories that add both function and style.

Buyer's Guide for UTV Mounts and Brackets: Helping You Shop!
Understanding Side-by-Side Mount Types and Applications
A clamp-style mount uses specialized bolts, band clamps and/or quick-release hardware that snugly hug your roll bars or bed rails. These things are incredibly versatile, since they can just cinch right onto a large range of tube sizes without any drilling.
Bolt-on or bed rail mounts attach directly to specific mounting points, bed rails, or frame locations. They're typically more secure than clamp mounts since they're bolted rather than clamped, and they often integrate cleaner with your machine's lines. The limitation is they're usually model-specific. Mounts designed for Ranger bed rails won't fit Defender bed rails. Adhesive or magnetic mounts work for lightweight items but aren't appropriate for anything critical or heavy. Off-road vibration defeats most adhesive mounts quickly.
Quick-release side-by-side mounts can be popped off and moved easily without tools. They're popular for items you only need sometimes (recovery boards, shovels, axes) or things you remove when not using the machine. The convenience is valuable, but quick-release systems need to be well-designed, or they'll release when you don't want them to. Cheap quick-release mounts have a bad habit of losing expensive accessories down the trail.

Stylish Billet Side-by-Side Mounts
Beyond functional mounts, precision-machined billet aluminum accessories add style while serving purposes.
Registration plate mounts display legally required registration stickers or plates in clean, protected locations rather than stuck haphazardly on plastic. Cap and plug replacements for various holes and openings add polished metal accents while protecting openings from dirt and debris.
Accent pieces and trim are an excellent opportunity to give your machine a splash of style while providing long-lasting durability.
Functional billet mounts (like machined phone mounts or light brackets) combine utility with appearance, delivering both performance and style.

Side-by-Side Mounts and Brackets Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the hack to prevent clamp mounts from loosening up?
There’s no “secret sauce” other than mounting properly and taking the time (even if it isn’t visibly loose) to retighten at regular intervals.
Is drilling into the roll cage a thing when creating my mount setup?
You typically want to avoid this, though you should be able to drill into non-structural panels and be fine in most cases.
What’s the maximum weight my roll cage can handle?
Tube diameter plays a big role in this answer, as does clamp quality and how the weight is distributed. Some people can load twenty or thirty pounds and not notice much of a difference, while others may need to reconfigure.
