If you’re a fan of custom UTV builds and classic pop culture, our latest project is sure to turn heads. Inspired by the iconic Scooby-Doo “Mystery Machine,” this UTV combines eye-catching style with high-performance upgrades and practical features. Watch the full video below for a detailed walkaround, and read on for a complete breakdown of everything that makes this build unique.
Exterior Upgrades
This Mystery Machine UTV came to us already sporting an impressive wrap and Valor VO6 wheels, both color-matched for a seamless look. Here’s what we added to take it to the next level:
- DRT Front Bumper and Fairlead: The robust DRT front bumper, paired with a DRT fairlead, provides both protection and style.
- Nacho Quattro Combo Beam Lights: These four-lamp combo beams offer flood lighting at the bottom and spot lighting at the top. Key features include a daytime running light (wired to ignition for automatic operation), low beam for camp use, and high beam for high-speed runs. The flexible wiring options let you customize their function for your needs.
- Shock Therapy Dual Rate Spring Kit: For a smoother ride and increased ride height, we installed a dual rate spring kit, enhancing both comfort and capability.
- 32-Inch Regulator 2 Tires & Valor VO6 Wheels: The 32-inch Regulator 2 tires provide excellent traction, and the Valor wheels are wrapped to match the Mystery Machine’s vibrant color scheme.
- Custom Wrap & Window Tint: The wrap features a unique color with plenty of metallic flake, complemented by full window tint for style and privacy.
Interior Enhancements
Inside, the upgrades focus on both comfort and control:
- Power Door Locks & Remote Start: Installed by UTV Stereo, these features let you heat up the vehicle remotely—perfect for cold climates like Telluride.
- DRT Interior Accessories: We added DRT door handles, a DRT shifter, and a DRT grab handle for the passenger, all contributing to a premium feel.
- Pro R Steering Wheel & MTS Switch Pros Mount: The upgraded steering wheel and custom mount house the Switch Pros system, which controls all the electronics.
- Dome Lights & Amber Rock Lights: Dome lights are installed in the front and rear passenger areas, plus the cargo compartment—all operated by a single switch. Amber-lit rock lights from Lit Industries add visibility and style for night rides.
Functional and Aesthetic Additions
This build isn’t just about looks—it’s packed with practical upgrades:
- DRT Accent Panels: Custom accent panels on the clutch and intake add a pop of color and visual interest.
- B's Fab Grab Handles: These handles make it easy and secure to open the windows without touching the glass.
- Electric Off-Road Rear Bumper & XTC Lighted License Plate: The rear bumper adds protection, while the integrated license plate light ensures compliance and visibility.
- RPM Exhaust System: The new exhaust not only boosts performance but also adds an aggressive sound.
Why This Build Stands Out
What sets this UTV apart is the combination of functional upgrades and standout aesthetics. The Scooby-Doo Mystery Machine wrap is instantly recognizable, while the thoughtful additions inside and out make this build as practical as it is fun. Whether you’re cruising through Telluride or making a statement at your next off-road event, this UTV is built to impress.
