DRT Motorsports 2022+ Polaris RZR PRO R Desert Runner Package

DRT Motorsports 2022+ Polaris RZR Pro R Desert Runner Package

The DRT Motorsports 2022+ Polaris RZR Pro R Desert Runner Package is built around DRT's Desert Runner front bumper and Fixed Tire Carrier, the same components used on desert-ready Pro R builds running Baja-style open terrain. The package bundles six DRT components into a focused desert build: an upgraded winch-ready front bumper, a fixed-mount spare tire carrier, shock guards, extended mud flaps, front inner CV boot guards, and an aluminum oil filter guard.

This is the desert-runner spec, not the standard trail build. Riders heading to Glamis, the Mojave, or long open-desert chases get spare tire storage, a heavier front-end bumper with a billet skid plate, and the underside protection package that keeps a Pro R together through repeated hits, deep silt, and dune runs. The Desert Runner front bumper and Fixed Tire Carrier are both patent-pending designs unique to the DRT lineup. Every component installs as a bolt-on with no major fabrication required.

What's Included in the Package

• DRT Desert Runner Winch Bumper (#20005FB07101): Heavy-duty laser-cut and formed steel front bumper with a dual-radius tube structure, removable front face, and high-clearance profile shaped to shield the nose, suspension area, and exposed front-end components. Includes a CNC-machined billet aluminum skid plate that covers the winch area, suspension, and cooling components below the bumper line, plus billet aluminum end caps and trim pieces. Integrated winch plate is designed around the Warn Axon 55-S and accepts most UTV winches up to 6,000 lbs. Comes with a recessed fairlead mount, a steel block-off plate for non-winch builds, integrated light mounting points, and laser-cut aluminum mesh side panels with billet bezels. Finished in DRT Sand Black powder coat with bright anodized aluminum accents.
• DRT Desert Runner Fixed Tire Carrier (#20005TC06101): Precision laser-cut, formed, and welded steel tire carrier that mounts directly to fixed chassis points for a vibration-resistant, secure spare tire setup. Positions the tire further back to help balance weight across the Pro R chassis without interfering with the OEM storage box. Includes an adjustable tire mount that accepts multiple tire sizes, a threaded T-handle with rubber tapered cone for a secure hold (T-handle is extra-long and trimmed to fit), and an integrated chase light or light bar mounting base in the rear pocket for added visibility in dusty group rides. Finished in DRT Sand Black powder coat with aluminum DRT branded contrast plates. Compatible with the DRT Trunk Enclosure (#20005TE03101) and accepts the optional AGM Jack mounting kits (#20005TC14101 Electric, #20005TC15101 Manual).
• DRT Shock Guard Kit, 3.0" Shock (#10005PT01201): Laser-cut and formed 6061-T6 aluminum shock guards backed with a brushed aluminum contrast plate, finished in mil-spec anodized black and clear. Diverts rocks, sand, and debris away from the chromed shock shafts, a critical wear point in desert riding. Direct replacement for Polaris OEM 5454105-070 and 5456633-070. Works with Fox or Walker Evans shocks.
• DRT Polaris Pro R/4 Billet Aluminum Extended Mud Flap Kit (#20005PT03200): Forward-facing 6061 billet aluminum extension brackets, formed and welded steel support brackets, and custom-injected molded rubber flaps oversized to cover trailing arms, brake components, and wheels from rocks, silt, and trail debris. Kit includes two sets of installation brackets covering Pro R and Turbo R applications. Mil-spec clear anodize, premium black powder coat, and DRT sand powder coat finishes with black-finished stainless hardware.
• DRT Polaris 2022+ RZR Pro R / Turbo R / Pro S Front Aluminum Inner CV Boot Guards (#20005PT05101): Laser-cut and formed aluminum guard plates that help deflect rocks and trail debris before they reach the inner CV boots, a vulnerable area at desert speeds. Semi-gloss black powder coat with a bright anodized DRT logo plate. Includes OEM replacement support brackets that secure the OEM front bumper to the vehicle, plus black-finished stainless steel hardware.
• DRT Aluminum Oil Filter Guard for Polaris RZR Pro R (#20005PT06101): CNC laser-cut and formed thick aluminum plate that extends coverage beyond the OEM oil filter guard. Vented design maintains airflow for oil cooling during extended runs. Semi-gloss black powder coat finish, laser-cut logo with anodized contrast plate, and machined aluminum beauty rings. Installs using factory mounting points with stainless-steel countersunk hardware.

Features

• Built for Desert Riding: Front bumper, tire carrier, shock guards, mud flaps, CV boot guards, and oil filter guard cover the components that take the most abuse at desert speed.
• Spare Tire Storage Without Sacrificing Cargo: The Fixed Tire Carrier mounts behind the chassis without touching the OEM storage box, so the spare tire and trunk space both stay accessible.
• Winch Ready Front End: The Desert Runner front bumper includes a dedicated winch plate, recessed fairlead mount, block-off plate, and integrated light mounting points.
• Billet Skid Plate Integration: The Desert Runner bumper's CNC-machined billet aluminum skid plate adds underside coverage for the winch area, suspension, and cooling components.
• Chase Light Mount Built In: The Fixed Tire Carrier includes an integrated light mount base in the rear pocket for chase lights or a light bar, useful for dust visibility on group runs.
• Heavy-Duty Steel and Billet Aluminum Construction: Both Desert Runner components are laser-cut, formed, and welded steel paired with billet aluminum accents and skid plate.
• Underside Coverage at Key Wear Points: Shock guards, mud flaps, CV boot guards, and oil filter guard cover four of the most common impact and wear points on a Pro R.
• Bolt-On Installation: No cutting or welding required. The CV boot guards require one hole drilled on the front bulkhead.
• 2-Seat or 4-Seat Compatible: Every component in the package fits both 2-door and 4-door Pro R configurations.
• Patent Pending: All six components carry patent-pending designs from DRT Motorsports.

Design and Construction

The Desert Runner Winch Bumper and Fixed Tire Carrier are both built from precision laser-cut, formed, and welded steel, finished in DRT Sand Black powder coat. The bumper integrates a CNC-machined billet aluminum skid plate and billet aluminum end caps and bezels, while the tire carrier uses high-strength, corrosion-resistant alloy steel hardware for a rigid, vibration-resistant structure. The shock guards, CV boot guards, oil filter guard, and mud flap kit brackets are built from 6061 or 6061-T6 aluminum (laser-cut, formed, and in some cases billet machined). The mud flap kit pairs aluminum and steel brackets with custom-injected molded rubber flaps. Mil-spec anodized finishes, semi-gloss black powder coats, and DRT Sand Black powder coat are used throughout for consistent styling and long-term durability.

Functionality and Protection

The Desert Runner Package focuses on the parts of a Pro R that get punished hardest in open-desert and dune riding. The Desert Runner front bumper takes direct hits while the integrated billet skid plate covers the winch area and front cooling. The Fixed Tire Carrier solves the spare tire problem at desert distances without giving up cargo space, and the chase light mount keeps the rider visible in dust. Under the chassis, the shock guards keep silt and rocks off the chromed shock shafts, the extended mud flaps cover trailing arms and brake components, the CV boot guards shield the front inner CV boots, and the oil filter guard expands coverage on the oil filter while keeping cooling airflow open. Together, the package covers the most common high-speed off-road wear points in one bundle.

Installation Details

The Desert Runner Winch Bumper installs as a complete bolt-on system with no cutting or welding required. The Fixed Tire Carrier is a bolt-on install with no cutting or drilling required. The shock guard kit is a direct OEM replacement for Polaris 5454105-070 and 5456633-070. The CV boot guards require one hole drilled on the front bulkhead. The mud flap kit, oil filter guard, and remaining components install using factory mounting points and included hardware. The Fixed Tire Carrier's T-handle ships extra-long and should be cut to size for a perfect fit during install.

Why It Stands Out

This is the desert build, not the trail build. The Desert Runner front bumper and Fixed Tire Carrier are the headline pieces, both purpose-built for riders who run long distances at speed and need spare tire coverage, chase light visibility, and a heavier front end with a billet skid plate. Combined with DRT Motorsports' core underside protection lineup (shock guards, mud flaps, CV boot guards, oil filter guard), it puts a Pro R in the same protection spec DRT uses on its own DRT Built Pro R Pre-Runner program. For UTV Source customers building a Pro R for Glamis, Baja-style runs, or long open-desert chases, this is the one-line-item bundle that gets the machine ready without piecing it together part by part.

Fitment
