Polaris Ranger 2002-2009 Full-Size Viper V3 Winch Kit - 4,500 or 6,000 lb with Mount Plate & Fairlead Mount

The first-generation full-size Ranger from 2002-2009 is still out there working, and the MA11907 plate is the clean way to add a winch to one. Moto Alliance notes that this plate needs a separate fairlead mount, so we built that into the kit: you get the Ranger plate, the matching Viper universal fairlead mount, and a Viper V3 winch. Pick the 4,500 lb standard spool or the 6,000 lb wide spool.

What Makes This Kit Complete

• MA11907 plate for the 2002-2009 full-size Ranger, including 6x6, TM, XP and Crew models in the years listed.
• Matching Viper universal fairlead mount included: standard spool with the 4,500 lb winch, wide spool with the 6,000 lb winch.
• Plate takes both the standard (3 x 4-7/8 in.) and wide (3 x 6.67 in.) bolt patterns.
• Black industrial powder coat on laser-cut steel, with mounting hardware and instructions.
• V3 aluminum hawse fairlead is made for synthetic rope, so the rope is not chewed up like on an old roller.

4,500 or 6,000 lb?

• V3 4,500 standard spool: lighter and shorter, with 40 ft of rope. Plenty for self-recovery and lifting a Denali plow on most machines.
• V3 6,000 wide spool: adds $80, a wider drum and 60 ft of rope. A good pick for heavier machines, crew cabs with a loaded bed, or anyone who winches other people out.

Early Ranger Tips

• Many 2002-2009 Rangers came with an old steel-cable winch. When you swap to synthetic rope, use the V3's aluminum hawse fairlead and leave the old roller behind.
• The Ranger 6x6 and Crew are long machines; measure the battery lead run before you start.
• If the Ranger has an aftermarket brush guard, check that it does not block the fairlead opening.
• Old plastic around the nose can be brittle. Loosen fasteners gently and replace any cracked clips.

Who It's For and What Pairs Well

This kit is for owners keeping an early Ranger in service on the farm or at camp. A winch also lifts a plow blade in winter; browse Polaris Ranger snow plows, more Ranger winch kits, and Ranger recovery gear.

Installation Notes

Bolt the MA11907 plate to the frame using the PDF below, then fit the universal fairlead mount in front of the winch with its hardware. On machines this age, clean the frame mounting points and chase any rusty threads first. Check battery health, run the leads clear of the exhaust, and spool the rope on under light tension.
