Any idea when Can-am will roll out the announcement for the next year line up?  Is it normally early summer? (May/June).

You can buy the shocks directly from Can-Am. About $2K total in parts.

That's not too bad since the standard shocks are about $1k. A good set of shocks can sure make a difference, but so far on my defender max I have barely noticed the potholes and rocks i've frequently run across so I'm not changing until I start feeling it.

I totally agree. A lot of people on other forums bash the XMR shocks but I have no problems. I run my shocks on the hardest setting front and rear and use STI beadlocks on low PSIs with Kanati Mongrels. It rides and handles excellent. I only plan to replace them when I start feeling it on the trails as well.

Here is a video of a hydraulic snow blower on the front of a UTV.  They put the pump in the bed of it and it looks like it's working pretty good.  I'm not sure it would handle 55cm though.

 

This looks like it works well.  But that stated.  Hydraulic pump in the back.  It would take 2-3 people to put that in back and it does not look like it is an end state system I would buy.  I think PTO driven or an independent engine that drives it would be a better solution.  Just my thoughts.  Thanks for the share to me earlier Dragoon.

I would love to see a skidplate I could easily remove.

Me too.  There has got to be a better way than rivets.

I'm looking for full A/C in the HVAC model versus just fan similar to what Polaris has.

I hope they replace the visco lock with the smart lock on all defender models and a XT-P max would be sweet
