A vehicle assembly can include a frame assembly, a grab bar assembly, a vehicle seat and a crossmember. The frame assembly can define a passenger area and include a left cage side member and a right cage side member. The grab bar assembly can include a left grab bar attached to and extending from the left cage side member and a right grab bar attached to and extending from the right cage side member. The crossmember can be connected to the vehicle seat so as to support the vehicle seat. The crossmember can have a center portion. The left grab bar can be attached to the crossmember at a first location of the crossmember. The right grab bar can be attached to the crossmember at a second location of the crossmember. The first location and the second location can be equally spaced from the center portion.

A vehicle includes a vehicle frame, a body on the vehicle frame, the vehicle frame and the body defining a wheel well, a wheel disposed in the wheel well, an engine for propelling the vehicle, and an electrical system for providing electrical power to the engine. The electrical system includes a regulator for maintaining a constant voltage across the electrical system located in the wheel well. A cover is located in the wheel well between the regulator and the wheel. An air intake is located in the body for directing airflow into a portion of the wheel well defined by the cover and housing the regulator to cool the regulator.

Cover for regulator
