There have been posts asking "What do you carry with you". Well, since I had everything out of mine, I took the time to take pics and put together descriptions of what I carry with me on every ride.
To start with, here's a pic of the back of my RZR.
On the left is my Air Cleaner, move up to the bed last winter. In the center is a Polaris Lock-N-Ride box. On the right is a Holz Racing gas can that fits the Polaris gas can rack. FYI, I set the gas can on a micro-fiber towel folded in four.

OK, starting with the Lock-N-Ride box

A starting point, the tan bags are by Duluth Trading. Item 28094, it sells for about $30 and you get one of the large and one of the small bags. They make it very easy to separate "stuff" and store it in an easy way to find it. I labeled the bags with a Sharpie pen.
You'll also see me referring to ULINE bags. These are item # S-12319 which are
18" x 20" sealable bags. Same as a Ziploc bag. They are tough and the seal is water tight. I find them excellent for bulky items like the Viking tug rope. But they also work great for folding up a sweatshirt and stuffing behind the seat. Nice to get back to camp and the sweatshirt isn't a big ball of dust or soaking wet! ULINE - Shipping Boxes, Shipping Supplies, Packaging Materials, Packing Supplies $55 for a box of 100.
I use quart and gallon Ziploc bags, but always the "freezer" type. Much tougher bag!!
I mention Gear Ties, these are made by Nite Ize Nite Ize: Innovative Products they are reusable, I haven't ruined one yet. Much better than zip ties. Home Depot & REI carry a good selection or you can order them on-line.
