You need a Turret on that machine....
Cool rig. Love that flatbed. Reminds me of those Japanese small trucks that convert to flatbed. I’ve had Polaris Rangers and Kawasaki Mules and loved both. May have to try a CanAm next time.
I like this but where I ride the bridge width on many of the trails is 60”.
The honesty of your review and journey (mistakes and all) was extremely informative and appreciated. Thanks for posting!!
Hey A.Amantine. Love your energy, enthusiasm, and storytelling. You were made to do this. Enjoy your content sir.
I’m trying bud, thank you!
Great video thank you for taking the time. Your a very well spoken guy, I appreciate that you held your tongue with naming the other dealer that screwed you, that was a classy move. God bless you
Awesome rig TK. Look forward to hearing your NVG video.
That thing is tough! I dig the flatbed
I’ve had a buddy recommend that 😭
Thing is sick!
Great rig! Awesome tires..
I love this! ❤️
Now I want one. I thought it would be hard to pull me away from my Polaris General. Love the flatbed, and the entire setup in general (no pun intended). Great setup!
A thumbs up as soon as you said “I built this rig specifically to HUNT” 💪🏼
Good looking rig and that was words of wisdom.
The flatbed on that thing. Primetime. I’d buy that.
That’s awesome! Thanks for the info!!
I have this same model on our farm. Never looked back. It fulfilled all our needs. Nowhere near the mods you have, in fact not modded at all. We don't have doors, ac or heat. But ok with it. It's a great machine. People trip when they see it. Always ask about the six foot bed.
It’s a head turner for sure
Hell of a rig
Thank you for a informative review.
Very cool machine! I didn’t know Can Am had a model like that. I got a Kubota RTV 1100 I really like it, diesel, hydraulics, a/c heat, radio, love it. It doesn’t go fast but I’m ok with that. I like how you did the window tint on yours, I did the same on my Kubota. Good luck on your next hunt! Cheers 🍻
Well spoken and super practical work horse of a rig.
I need this exact unit!! I like what you’ve done
Very nice set up !
Fantastic video and great job on the rig, it looks awesome!!
Great review,,thx
I’m diggin the rig dude! Lookin good😎
Great rig!!!
Great video,thanks
That’s a badass set up!!!
Thanks
Sick looking rig.
Ooof!!! 🔥can ham!
😎
Love it- been looking at them awhile
In the storage place put a rinse kit 5 gallon. That will take care of your water issues with the tilt bed.
I want one of these strictly for farm work and land management. Not sure why more brands don't make a larger bed like this. I'm not super brand loyal just want something that is reliable and has more usable work space for hauling unlike the typical smaller 4 foot bed
Very nice machine.
That's one sweet ride. I'm thinking of building one similar to it, but with few little differences. I live in Montana, we don't have the constant heat like you do. But lordy, it gets bitter cold here in the winter. We'll see temperatures down to -35 degrees without the windchill. So I'll definitely be running a snowplow. I'm going to contact Tuff Country about the front bumper, to see if I can run a snowplow with their bumper. I have been looking at a Thumper Fab bumper, but I really like the protection that your bumper as. Mine will be used for hunting, feeding livestock, and plowing snow.
Give them a call I’m sure they’ll get you the information you need, and good luck
Great looking rig, I have the 22 Pro dps. Put a bunch of accessories on it glass windshield back glass soft Brp full doors roof. Going to install the inferno heater next week. I’ve been thinking about the forward a-arms, running 30” now but I’d like a little more clearance with just bigger tires.
Great review on your rig
Sweet
Nice I think I might try to get the bed for our 2019 defender
Thanks for the shoutout! We have this question alot if it will fit or not on the Defender with long beds or the 6x6. We have heard from our customers that it will but may need to trim or modify a shield on the long bed. We have not tested this fitement yet here. Thanks for the reivew and we love watching!!
Great video! Sweet Defender. Put some Baja Designs infrared lights on there. Lol.
Very nice rig. Rotopax makes a bracket that you could mount those small cans in the compartment nder the bed...water at least. That would fix your bed tilting issue. Also mighttry mounting a counterweight of some type under the back edge of the bed to help with the tilt, would probably settle the ride down a bit as well.
I love your side by side looks fantastic
Thanks bud
I have a 22 defender 6x6....reverse chain is weak, will snap and then wad up into the trans housing and crack the trans.
Reverse chain upgrade is a must on these machines.
That’s a bad ass rig man , king of the jungle
That’s a sick side by side 🤙 I’ve been wanting something like that for a coyote rig
They’re awesome to have
Beautiful background my friend . . . love the flatbed!
That’s a sweet rig, man!
Thanks
I love it.
🔥
Love the videos sir!
Nice machine
hey boss, nice SXS, i just bought a john deere gator but really love the looks and features for the cam am also!
In Louisiana we were well over 100 degrees this week. Had my truck saying 114°.
Brother the ride looks beautiful! I need one for my farm. Great video! New sub here man.
Thanks for the positive feedback, I love this thing!
Great review man
Thanks
A. When you were talking about the parts availability issue; this is one of the primary reasons why I did not end up buying a SxS. My sales guy who was really cool, was really frank with me and told me that there is a severely good chance than when my Maverick got delivered that it would not be ready to use/take home. I was surprised when he said that. I even asked him hey, if it doesn't come ready to take home am I still obligated to make payments? He said yes, I said no. Not worth it at all.
Seen plenty of seadoos and SXS’s with missing parts, but mine showed up ready to go. Frustrating to see!
@@TxKiller Yeah, I was really excited to buy one. I live extremely close to the Rockies so tons of trails to go up and potentially use it to bag a deer or elk but not without the guarantee it's usable when it gets delivered. Maybe in the future, hopefully the supply chain gets better.
We have a Polaris ranger on 33” xt400’s with the super atv forward a arms. The shop that installed them opted not to put the steering stops because it reduces turning radius by a lot and since we only use it as a trail riding and hunting bike around our house and camp so that is why we went the route of not installing them. I definitely could see the benefit if you are a heavy mud rider or have the bike in a bind at full turn a lot though. I guess at the end of the day it just depends on the application of the machine. Just a thought and wanted to share my experience with it to possibly help you out/save you some time. Also yours is a can am while ours is a Polaris so they may be different and recommend more for one bike over the other. By no means am I telling you not to install them just thought I’d share my situation cause I too was undecided about it at first. Hope this info helps. Awesome looking rig and great content! Have a good one!
I’ll leave them out for a while, not in the mood to mess with it lol. If I damage the axles that’ll give me an excuse to upgrade and put the spacers in. Right now I really don’t see any big concerns. Thanks for the feedback on your experience.
@@TxKiller Yes sir! I 100% hear you! Same here, if I end up breaking an axel I’ll upgrade them and possibly put them in as well! It’s too hot right now anyway to mess with it lol! Have a good one!
Thats a beauty Rig man. You made that thing nice. Ive always said tires are one of the best compliments of a vehicle. The tint and bumpers make it look badass. Only thing i think would be an issue its the winch on the headache rack, if it had gusset bars i would be more of a fan but i guess if you watch the flex when you winching you be good but i would definitely add a 3-5k which on the rear.
Thanks, the winch isn’t for buggy recovery’s it’s to give me a hand with the pigs I can’t load by myself.
@@TxKiller Yea i totally get that, just risky spot imo if the pig gets snagged up or something it would be easy to bend that rack. All good man. Like i said that rig is beautiful. Well done
@@cheeseymccheese7249 Zero issues so far, a guy loaded a moose with the same rack. If anything we load gets in a bind you just back off and correct the issue.
@@TxKiller Cheers Patriot
texas heat is killer. maybe a fire extinguisher as well? smaller wheels/ bigger tires *thumbsup*
Gets worse the older I get lol
👍👍
Great looking machine. Very glad you expressed that it is a dedicated HUNTING vehicle and not setup for all the other. Nothing wrong with the other uses. However, as a hunter that is my primary goal for use. I was very surprised at the amount of room inside the cab. That was impressive. As for the storage under the bed . What a great deal, install some type of slide out drawer that will safely and securely hold firearms and ammo. Keeping them out of the elements and easily obtainable. A separate gun rack on it could still be installed and used . To allow easy quick access for short moves. But after the hunt, game retrieval that kind of thing. Open the door slide out the drawer. Open it and a good safe dry secure place to place your firearms and ammo. Very nice... I can think of a few other items to consider... but it is nice. One question I have. Is how loud is it when running ? One of the biggest problems / concerns I have with these vehicles is the noise. They are loud...
I’ve shot so many coyotes and pigs within a 100yds from this rig and my last one. I test drove everything and the CanAms are the quietest, but they’re nothing like a gas or electric vehicle.
I’ve been looking at getting a Defender HD10 for hunting and trail riding. Sounds like the HVAC is worth the extra cost.
Its worth it, no more open cabs for me lol.
Can you still use the footwells...for storage.... under the bed from where the back seat would be? Nice looking rig......EDIT....Ha....opened storage up just at the end...I was too quick with my question....great thanks.
Looks like a handy vehicle. It seems to be almost the size of a jeep.
It’s smaller for sure
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
My cable broke and bent the hinges also. Had to hold the door for a couple miles to get home.
Clean and simple always looks best!
#SimpleandSexy
Thanks bud
Glad your enjoying that Canadian machine! Is there still a 6x6 flatbed?
I see them here and there
Looked at this model today. Would love it on my ranch and to ice fish. Only concern is how long of trailer I'd need to haul it with tracks. Have a 14ft trailer now, don't really want to buy a new trailer too.
I tow it with an 83x14
Hey man thanks for the content! Quick question are you guys allowed to drive those on the road to get from stand to stand? Here In Vermont they’re too uptight to allow that. Thanks again!
I’ve never been pulled over in it, one sheriff stopped to BS with us lol
In texas (having lived there my whole life until 2018) I doubt anyone would really care unless you're in one of the cities but not out in the ranches where you would hunt at
Still like it? Yay nay?
Leave them stops off you’ll be happy!! I left mine off and have yet to break anything. The stops make the radius real bad!
I was worried about that
I'll second that. I put SuperATV forward arms on my 23 max HD9 with the steering stops one weekend, and then removed the stops the following weekend. They make the turning radius absolutely atrocious. If you're worried about possibly breaking an axle, throw some Rhino 2.0 axles on.
@@Mark-W5ADK Broke Rhinos on my last rig, but I also put that thing through hell 😭
Sweet "ute"
Whenever your ready to hunt South Dakota give me a shout
How is the noise of the machine? Does it sound like a truck? We have a Polaris general and it is so loud and scares the elk and mule deer when hunting. We are trying to find something quiet.
I bet 550 cord would last a bit longer than those door cables. 🤔
I bet it would
I’d have to relocate those roto packs...
It’s gonna happen when I build the bed rack
This dude is dope AF. Subscribe
Have you checked your speed with a GPS? Or, have you adjusted the speedo for the tire size?
Bigger tires should equate to a higher top speed but slower take off and thus, the speedo should read SLOWER that you're actually going.
Given that everything is digital these days that speedo should be tweakable.
Just wondering, what was the stock tire size?
Stick size was 27’s
Speedometer definitely needs to be adjusted for the tire size and definitely slower on takeoffs but I’m cool with that
@@TxKiller
If you ever feel the need, check your top speed with a GPS. You should find the Speedo reading 11-20% slower than actual. I'm not sure how it calculates (gear or sensor) but then you will know, and have no need to adjust it. And then adjust it again if you get 33's. Thanks for the info, I'm looking to get a buggy within the next year.
Have you owned a regular defender. 3 seater? I have one. Curious how the ride quality compares. I assume less buck with longer wheelbase. Any input?
You had issues with power windows switches?
Hey Amantine, do your brakes squeal? I plan to use my 6x6 for hunting this winter, but my brakes loud whenever I touch them, been like that from the start. Wondered if you had to deal with that issue.
Unfortunately they do
@@TxKiller ah okay, evidently not enough to screw up hunting them, huh? Thanks
@@lordofthebugs Nope it’s frustrating to hear but it doesn’t bug them much, sometimes I don’t even use the brakes I just roll to a stop
@@TxKiller alright, cool, I was hoping you'd know the secret to eliminate it, but knowing you can make it work regardless is reassuring. Thanks
Long time
To long
Can you do a video on how the bed wench works loading hogs or deer onto the bed.
it took months to find the AC issue?? Months??
Did you delete the short I just saw with the piles of pigs & coyotes on the back of this thing? ...I was gonna send it to my friends but I don't see it now. ✌️
TH-cam didn’t like it
@TxKiller I totally understand ...just thought I was trippin when I couldn't find it! Ha ha! ✌️ Thanks for the reply!
@TxKiller ...Something I've learned about TH-cam (and something you always seem to do with your vids) is: if you make a good intro, so the kill shots don't start before the 1 minute mark, they will monetize the vid & you're ok! ....but if you start the vid with kill shots they flag it
I've got the 6x6. What did you like about this model better? The storage area?
Your inner axle is locked which sucks on the terrain and tires, also I’ve been in a loaded down 6x6 and the turning radius got worse with the weight. Single rear is doing just fine with what I’m doing and I don’t have to worry about two extra tires.
@@TxKiller Check check. I run mine as a farm / hunting vehicle. That's one thing I don't like, the lack of turf mode. What I do love about my 6x6 is the short wheelbase with the long bed. Oh, and I can't get it stuck (I've tried). 😆 Keep killing it my man!
@@abstaman Bring it I got a place it’ll get stuck 😭
@@TxKiller Lol, don't threaten me with a good time! 👊🏻 I'm headed down to Texas in September to do some hog hunting.
@@abstaman lmao good luck and be safe
Can it pull the trailer it's hauled on?
With ease
Hit a oak tree ? Sounds like you was doing a little booze cruising 😂. JK keep up the content 👏
Really looking for what county you are in, I'm looking for property like where you are at. Thanks
You rock and hootie and the blowfish on this rig?? Jk. Nice rig bro
What area of Texas are you in?
Why do sexy sxs's have ugly prices 🤔
Good question 😤
Oddly theres no gun rack
Would you rather have an electric model for hunting?
Nope I enjoy this gas burner
What shirt/logo is that?
Anyone?
What do you do for a living man?
I bought a Can Am rear view camera . And its just about useless. I would recomendend you search for a better one . The camera is terrible in daylight and and a very limited view .
Good to know, thanks for letting me know
Roxor is probably a better hunting rig
It amazes my how much people pay for these plastic buggies.
No different with the cars and trucks they’re buying as well 😭
@@TxKiller True. I bought a new Gator 20 years ago for $2500 with every option. I thought it was a lot then. My neighbor just got a 4 seater Can-Am X3 for 25 grand. Kinda makes me feel good my Gator is still going lol.
Buy a Honda. Sounds like BS.
The Hondas don’t have half the bed, and no ac
