Dad’s not picky — but his rig is. If he’d rather be behind the wheel of his side-by-side than anywhere else, this is the gift list: more than 50 rider-approved picks across exhaust, lighting, armor, communications, tools, and budget stocking stuffers, sorted by category and by machine so you can skip the guesswork.
Four gifts that work for almost any UTV dad, no matter what he drives. Each one is either universal-fit or available for every major machine, so you don’t need to know his exact build to get it right.
A mountable case with the tools to swap a blown belt trailside — the gift every CVT-driven machine eventually needs.
Shop the BOXO Kit — $219A complete light bar master kit from one of off-road racing’s most storied lighting brands — turns sunset into the start of the ride.
Shop the FLEX ERA — $599.99A metric tool roll built for the trail — and with Assault’s 20% off brand-wide through 6/11/26, the timing is on your side.
Shop the Tool Kit — $280.76A proven handheld radio from a race-radio specialist — the easiest way to put group comms in his hands without rewiring the cab.
Shop the UV-82C — $79.99Two of the biggest names in UTV aftermarket parts are discounted for Father’s Day — but only through Thursday, June 11. If a SuperATV or Assault Industries pick below caught your eye, this is the week to grab it.
Through 6/11/26. Applies to select products — discounted pricing shows directly on the product page, including the Talon full skid plate and heavy-duty CVT belts featured in this guide.
Shop SuperATVThrough 6/11/26. Every Assault Industries product is 20% off — tool kits, mirrors, steering wheels, fire extinguisher mounts, and more. Sale pricing shows on the product page.
Shop Assault IndustriesQuick shipping and free shipping brand-wide for a limited time — a smart lane if Dad’s gift is an exhaust and the calendar is getting tight before June 21.
Shop MBRPOur product team picked every item in this guide against four simple tests — the same way we’d shop for our own fathers.
Every pick solves a real ride-day problem — a blown belt, a dark trail, a rock-strewn two-track, a group that can’t hear each other. No novelty shelf-fillers.
We leaned toward universal-fit gear and clearly labeled model-specific picks, so you can buy with confidence even if you only know whether he drives a Polaris, a Can-Am, or a Honda.
KC HiLiTES, Baja Designs, Rugged Radios, SuperATV, Assault Industries, RPM Powersports — names with race pedigrees and proven track records in the dirt.
From an $80 spare tire bag to a full ground-up build, the guide spans real price tiers — see the budget matrix near the bottom to shop by spend.
An exhaust is the rare gift that changes how the machine feels every single ride. Slip-ons are the easy win — bolt-on installs that wake up the sound — while full systems go deeper, and quiet options keep the peace on early-morning ranch duty.
Deep dive: read our full UTV exhaust buyer’s guide or browse all UTV exhaust systems.
The classic X3 sound upgrade — a slip-on race pipe that swaps in for the stock muffler and gives the Rotax the voice it deserves.
A full stainless system for the turbo RZR dad — the complete header-back treatment for the machine he’s been meaning to finish.
For the adventure-touring dad — a brushed stainless dual-muffler design that upgrades flow while keeping trail manners polite.
Our team’s top three exhausts for every major platform — sound clips and full specs on each product page. More sound, more power, and a tone that turns heads at the trailhead.
Lighting is the most giftable performance category there is: it bolts on, it works on any machine, and every night ride afterward is a reminder of who gave it. Go light bar for distance, pods for fill, or lighted whips to keep him visible over the dunes — and they happen to look great in the rearview, which he will absolutely pretend he doesn’t care about.

The marquee gift of this guide — a complete FLEX ERA master kit from the brand whose smiley-face covers have led desert races for decades.
A compact auxiliary pod from the self-described Scientists of Lighting — the easy add-on that fills the dark corners his main bar misses.
The Glamis special — a pair of fat lighted whips that make Dad’s rig the easiest one to find when the dunes go dark.
Armor is the practical-love gift: it says you want the machine — and the driver — to come home in one piece. Skid plates take the rock hits, and fender liners keep mud and roost out of the cab and engine bay.
Deep dive: our UTV skid plate guide, or browse skid plates.
Full underbody coverage purpose-built for the four-seat Talon — and one of the select SuperATV products at 20% off through 6/11/26.
The upgrade X3 owners rave about after the first mud ride — inner liners that seal the front wheel wells and keep the engine bay clean.
Aluminum rear inner guards for Pro XP and Turbo R RZRs — serious protection at a price that still leaves room for a card.
Rocks, ruts, and roost don’t take days off. More full-coverage skids and inner guards, by platform.
Half the fun of riding is giving Dad a hard time over the radio. Comms gear keeps the group connected, makes the convoy safer, and gives everyone a way to talk without screaming over the engine — good for coordinating, better for the running commentary.
Deep dive: our UTV radio & intercom guide, or browse all communications gear.
Carbon fiber looks with intercom-grade clarity — the headset upgrade for the dad whose rig already has a stereo or intercom system.
A waterproof GMRS mobile radio with a stealth antenna — permanent, weatherproof comms for the dad who organizes every group ride.
The gateway to real trail comms — a proven handheld from PCI Race Radios that gets Dad on the group channel for under $80.
Tools are the most-classic dad gift for a reason — and in the UTV world they come with a twist: the best ones live on the machine, ready for the trailside belt swap or quick fix that saves the whole ride.

Know what Dad drives? Jump straight to every part and accessory that fits his exact machine.
If you only buy one thing, make it the Savage UTV BOXO Belt Change Tool Kit ($219). Most Polaris and Can-Am side-by-sides use CVT drive belts, belts eventually let go mid-ride, and this kit mounts to the machine with a spare belt and the tools to swap it trailside. It works for nearly every dad regardless of model, and it’s the kind of gift that gets used for years.
Two standouts in this guide: the PCI Race Radios Baofeng UV-82C handheld walkie talkie ($79.99), which gets him on the group channel with zero installation, and the DRT Motorsports Spare Tire Storage Bag ($80), a universal add-on that turns the spare tire into usable zippered storage.
Not always. Universal-fit picks in this guide — the KC FLEX ERA light bar kit, Baja Designs S1 pod, lighted whips, handheld radio, tool kits, mirrors, and the spare tire bag — work on virtually any side-by-side. Exhausts, skid plates, and fender liners are model-specific, so for those you’ll want to know his machine (the product titles name the exact fit). If you know the brand and model, the Shop by Vehicle section above filters everything to parts that fit.
The SuperATV deal (20% off select products) and the Assault Industries deal (20% off brand-wide) both run through June 11, 2026. MBRP Powersports quick shipping and free shipping brand-wide is a limited-time offer. Father’s Day itself is Sunday, June 21, 2026 — so the discounts end well before the holiday, and ordering during the sale window is the move.
For a gift, a slip-on is usually the smarter call: it’s less expensive, installs with basic hand tools in the driveway, and delivers the sound change most riders are after. A full system is the bigger statement for a dad who’s deep into his build. Our exhaust buyer’s guide breaks down the trade-offs in detail.
Lighting, in this order: a quality LED light bar kit (the KC HiLiTES FLEX ERA Master Kit is our premium pick) for distance, auxiliary pods like the Baja Designs S1 for fill light, and lighted whips like the 5150 Nitesticks if he rides dunes, where flag visibility doubles as safety gear after dark.
Start with handhelds — one PCI Baofeng UV-82C per machine is the simplest way to keep a family group connected. If Dad leads rides regularly, step up to an in-cab GMRS setup like the Rugged Radios GMR25 Kit Lite with a headset; it stays mounted, stays charged, and works in the loudest cabs.
Because it protects the investment he already loves. A full skid plate takes the rock and stump hits that would otherwise reach the chassis, and inner fender liners keep mud and debris out of the engine bay. It’s practical, it fits the “take care of your stuff” dad ethos, and the SuperATV Talon full skid plate in this guide is 20% off through 6/11/26.
Skip the tie and the third coffee mug. Whatever Dad rides, something on this list fits his setup and the way he uses it — and the SuperATV and Assault Industries 20%-off deals run through 6/11/26. Not sure what fits his rig? Our product team will help you get it right the first time.
