MaineMan, The offset for these Uinta's is 14x7 4.0 x 3.0 where I think the factory wheels are 2.0 x 5.0. It's possible I'm wrong on the factory offset but when I looked at the wheels side by side, the factory wheels were much deeper towards the inside of the wheel. Here's a link that talks about factory offset. Be warned, these wheels do make your tires stick out farther than the factory which is why I wrapped the bottom portion of the fenders. I've considered the sport fender flares but I really don't want to screw into my paint panel. Instead I wanted to wrap the bottom paint for some protection until I sell the factory wheels and tires which will pay for my half doors I'm wanting. https://www.everythingcanamoffroad.com/ecc-blog/buyers-guide-factory-specs-for-the-can-am-defender-commander-and-maverick-tire-size-wheel-size-wheel-offset-and-bolt-pattern I will say this about the Tusk wheels, the beadlocks are time consuming to do it right but I like the ability to swap tires on my own if and when I need to. I put anti-seize on every bolt, per instructions, and that made torqueing the longest part of the process. I penciled the bolt numbers on each bolt after the first one to speed up the process because of the crisscross pattern. Also, I am on a buy American, or at least North America, kick so I was kinda surprised when I saw these were made in China. However, the quality of the wheels is great and I have extreme OCD when it comes to quality but I couldn't find a single blemish on the wheels. https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/tires-and-wheels/tusk-uinta-beadlock-wheel-p?36&c=455&idd1=94771&idd2=5189 Kinda lengthy but hope this helps.

Playing with some 3M 2080 matte Deep Black vinyl wrap. The Deep Black matches the matte body panels almost perfectly. Thought about wrapping across the hood just to see what it looks like.

Well I had a bit of a panic attack this weekend with my new 2022 Defender XT HD10. I'm still under 3 hours so I've not gotten on it very hard but was pulling into my driveway and when I turned in pretty fast, the motor died. I came to a stop with it in neutral and tried to crank it, wouldn't start. Put it in park, still wouldn't start. Ended up pulling it into the carport and checked every connector I could see on the motor, still wouldn't start... Did a couple of Google searches and saw one titled "Can Am Bump". So for whatever reason, when I put it in Park it actually wasn't in Park. Apparently it can be in the Park position but the transmission hasn't actually engaged the Park sensor. So if this happens just put gear selector in Park and nudge the bike or sway your weight while seated and you will hear a metallic click, then it engages and starts right up. Crisis averted and blood pressure goes back to normal.

OP, I had a 2019 Defender XT HD10 and had this same issue. I used mine as a motorized wheelbarrow around the yard so it was never abused or put in the mud. I only noticed it at low speeds while turning left and figured it was something coming from the power steering. I sold that SxS last fall and just bought a new 2022 same model and don't have this issue now.

DMason, When I picked up my new Defender a couple of weeks ago the dealer was adamant that I get it up to 20-30 mph and stand on the brakes pretty hard and to do that 2-3 times. I would brake just hard enough that the tires didn't lose traction and it smoked like crazy the first time but tapered off the 2 and 3 time it did it. Have a friend that just bought one too and he was telling me he had the same brake squeak so I shared this process with him and he said that cured the issue. The dealer told me the brake pads have a coating on them and if you don't burn it off it makes your brakes squeal. Wouldn't hurt to try!

Does anyone have a recommendation on where you can find Can Am factory rocker switches or knockoffs that match the factory colors? This is about as close as I've come... https://parts.adrenalinecycles.com/product/amber-color-can-am-style-off-road-light-switch-ac-ca-orl

Dealer turned me onto these so I replaced all 4 bulbs. Made a huge difference and these don't have mechanical fans. https://www.cyronmotor.com/p-409-headlight-bulb-led-standard-fit-1500-lumens-abh9d-h8h9h11.aspx

Thought I would share my newest toy. Can Am flip-up glass, SuperATV poly back glass (dark tint), Tusk Uinta bead locks 14x7, BFG KM3’s 29x9-14, Cyron led’s (4). Color matched RuffTuff seat covers arrive this Friday and I’m looking pretty hard at a Baja Designs OnX6+ 10” light bar for the factory bumper. I had a 2019 HD10 and like this one much better!

I definitely wasn't aware that the front and rear axles were offset on these rigs.
