Adding UTV side view mirrors to your machine is usually one of the first upgrades that new UTV owners make. Whether you want to keep an eye on who’s behind you or just want to back up without any surprises, installing mirrors on your UTV is downright essential. In many places in the U.S., side-view mirrors are required to drive on public roads.
But these days, mirrors don’t just reveal what’s behind you. Thanks to innovative ideas from companies like Sector Seven Products, side views have become one of the best ways to get a better look of what’s in front of your machine as well.
UTV Mirrors with lights have steadily gained popularity due to their ability to better illuminate the terrain to the front and side of your buggy. They make a great addition to light bars and can greatly enhance your field of view and depth of vision.
Upgrading to mirrors with lights can make your machine ready for night driving, but that’s not all.
Not only do lighted mirrors provide a wider range of illumination, they can also help you see the ground with greater clarity.
Two Min Tuesday, We Talk UTV Mirrors. Specifically Sector Seven Spectrum LED Mirror's.
The best mirrors on the market are angled. Their lights help you see what’s coming at you from the side as well as the front. This is critical, especially when you’re in a race or plowing through a forest. There’s nothing worse than being surprised by something when you’re barreling down the dirt path.
If your trail is being lit by only a 40-inch light bar fixed to the top of your cage, you can’t accurately judge dips in the terrain. Because the light is coming down at a steep angle, you lose the ability to gauge the depth of upcoming valleys. Side-view lights provide light from a different angle, giving you a fuller picture of what’s ahead.
For that reason, many UTV owners, especially desert racers, prefer to run side-view lights in addition to a single 10-inch or 20-inch light bar. This setup makes financial sense. The combination is less expensive than installing a 40-inch light bar up top and cheap side-view mirrors.
These convex mirrors provide a 210-degree view and a whopping 8,000 lumens of light per pair. Thanks to their stabilization technology, they absorb vibration and let you see clearly, even at high speeds.
Each fully American-made mirror comes with fully customizable rings and clear lenses that can be swapped out for amber or yellow options that better cut through the dust and fog.
These mirrors also feature fully adjustable breakaways, meaning that you decide how much force they’ll take before they fold backward. That makes them a great long-term investment because they won’t snap right off when you hit something.
Each mirror comes ready to install with your choice of mounts, whether you prefer a universal mount, a threaded ball option, or a bung. Thanks to its smart design, the universal mount can be added to machines with windshields without needing a cutout.
The Sector Seven Spectrum LED mirrors are CNC machined from 6061 billet aluminum and measure 8.5” x 5.5” X 3.”
Each mirror comes with 3.5 feet of wiring and is fully compatible with Sector Seven switches. Wiring harness kits and switches are sold separately.
So you want to upgrade your UTV or ATV? If so, then an upgraded Trinity Racing Exhaust system should be at the top of your list – especially if you want to tune your engine to anything above stage 3 or above. A stock exhaust will simply not give your vehicle enough power to be able to reach its fullest potential. To really up your game, an exhaust system by Trinity Racing will increase your vehicle’s horsepower, cool your engine, and give your machine a much better sound.
This UTV Exhaust is a significant upgrade in almost every way from the stock model. Every part of it is made in America of the highest quality metals and materials. The craftsmanship really shows in the quality, longevity, and aesthetic of the parts. These systems feature billet aluminum connectors, 304 stainless steel, tig welding, and parts made to last. Meaning that you will both boost the performance of your vehicle and avoid unsightly and damaging corrosion. In addition, the flexibility these rigs allow by giving you customizable technical specs (like optional quiet cores) and color/finish options goes a long way to ensure that everybody will find a combination of selections to work perfectly with their UTV or ATV.
Like most of the parts we feature at American Off-Roads, these Trinity Exhaust Systems are highly customizable. You have your pick between finishes, system setup, and various add-ons.
To start, you can choose the color of your exhaust. Options include black (you can’t go wrong with basic black), brushed finish (highlighting the quality of the 304 stainless steel), or cerakote finish (giving your entire exhaust – minus the springs – a sleek black exterior). In addition, you can also decide if you want flush muffler tips or not.
UTV accessoriesFrom there you can pick what technical features you want on your UTV/ATV exhaust system. You can have your choice between either a full system or a slip on system – depending on whether you want to add a head pip or not. After that, you can decide whether to add quiet cores or not.
No matter what you choose, an exhaust system by Trinity Racing is sure to up your game.
Trinity’s quit cores change the game. They keep your vehicle sounding awesome, with a deep growl, but still let the motor breath. All while you stay a noise violation complaint. Most states limit how high your ATV/UTVs released decibels can be at somewhere between 95-100. For example, Wisconsin limits you to just 96 decibels. Quiet Cores help you stay legal while not compromising on what you want/need out of a muffler.
We replicated the test used by most manufacturers and regulators to demonstrate the difference installing quiet cores can make. Without quiet cores, our RZR Turbo equipped with The Trinity Full System registered at 95-100DBs when brought to 4000 RPM. In comparison, that same vehicle only registered 93-95 DBs with a quiet core involved.

While it might seem complicated, these quiet cores are a relatively simple piece of equipment to understand – though that doesn’t make them any less technically sophisticated. These cores change the airflow leaving the muffler in order to bring the noise levels down.
To make things even easier, purchasing one of the sets that completely replaces your stock kit is easy to install. Heck, it is even easy to swap your Quiet Cores in and out depending on whether you are going to be riding on private or public lands.
Unscrew the four screws on the billet aluminum cap that keeps the tube and the muffler together.
Insert the quiet core into the muffler and line up ear shaped prongs on the baseplate with the deeper pre-etched inlets.
Put the spark resistor on top of the quiet core. It should stay right inplace thanks to the more shallow inlets.
We carry Trinity Racing tubes and exhaust systems for a wide variety of UTVs and ATVs. All featuring 4-48 hour shipping times, flexible financing options, and our 5% cash back loyalty rewards program.
Here at American Off-Roads we are all about helping you learn more about your UTV. We want you to know all about what makes your UTV tick, how to upgrade it, and how to swap out certain parts to meet the demands of different situations. That is why we have made guides for how to pick out your UTV Harnesses, what UTV Seats work the best for different people, and explored why you need a Gated Inline Shifter. Today, we are taking a deep dive into the front end of your rig to look at what you gain by using a front diff repair kit. .
Your rig deserves to be treated well. It works hard to provide you with thrills, chills, and potentially a few spills. However, you have not been treating it right. Keeping plastic in your front differential is no way to reward your UTV for all it gives you. Luckily, our RZR Diff Kits allow you to rip (or gently remove) all that plastic crap that causes you the liability of catastrophic failure and replaces it with made in America aluminum parts. There will be no more leaky seals, scratched pins, or weird noises for your UTV if you use Sandcrafts fantastic Diff Kits. Upgrading your rig with one of these is the easiest way to increase your ride’s durability and extend its life-span. After all, your UTV deserves parts that will withstand the torture you throw at it.
These UTV Front Diff kits contain everything you need to upgrade your front differential. Virtually every part has been upgraded from plastic and made to last.
This cage is the best on the market. Made out of anodized hardened billet aluminum it can withstand virtually anything you try to throw at it. Pro-tip: when you go to replace your Sprague Cage, unroll a rubber band or hair tie around it. This way your rollers and H Clips won’t fall out/get disjointed and make it harder than it needs to be to replace. Just make sure to take the rubber band off…
Note that you can also add-on new H Clips and Rollers to your kit if needed. While you don’t have to replace your H Clips unless you have damage (scaring, nicks) it is highly recommended to change them. After all, these clips and rollers are a HUGE upgrade to the stock model’s.
