What ATV, side by side or UTV do you have.

As a follow up, I did try out the 12v Map Light.
Pic A is with the lamp off, pic B is with it on.

Now, the 12v outlet on the Gator dash is not switched, so if you leave it on when you shut your engine off, the light stays on (and could drain your battery after a while).
This is a cheap alternative (less then 10 bucks if you buy one). The one shown in the pictures was left here by the previous owners of our house.

You have an 855D with gauge module? Mine doesn't have that.

Got the Yamaha Rhino 660 when it first came out, traded in my Honda Foreman 400. Boy, I still love that thing all these years later - narrow enough to get through the woods, but wide enough for two guys & whatever in the dump back.

Now, they pulled it from the market for awhile & widened the wheelbase so it doesn't tip over in open country turns, but for me in the woods, it's just fine.

I drove a new '13 855D with power steering last week at my JD dealer. I was surprised that it had the gauge cluster. I really liked the power steering but not enough to trade mine off yet.

My windshield's lower portion folds up for ventilation. Definately worth having. I found out that if you leave it down during hot, dry weather you'll get covered with dust because the wind can't blow it out. Flip up the vent and you'll get good airflow.

The power steering package was an option that had already been installed on my 855D (which was on the dealer's lot). I'm glad, because I probably wouldn't have ordered it otherwise. My intent is to add other stuff (such as the windshield) later. I reckon the windshield and the work lights might be about all I'll really want.

Thanks for the picture!
After backing up at night (dark!!), about a week ago...and having to use an iPhone flashlight app to see where we were backing...I think I'll need at least one on the back.
