A hunt 2 remember

Is there no need for a chainsaw/axe in Northern Minnesota? As for the GPS... I've mounted a Garmin base unit on my dash that powers my Montanna and allows me to run it.... AND keep it powered..... also remember.... a 30 minute flare will damn near start a sunken log..... I've also added a couple accessory plugs for odds and ends.... plus a come along.... and BE SAFE!!!!

Any time. Hope it works out for you.

When I mounted mine there were no lines close to the mounting holes.... I've actually pulled mine... but had to build a plate to cover the holes in the floorboard to stop mud from coming in... you can actually find the installation instructions on the canam/brp site. 

Here is Bear with his mock up boat rack. He does EVERYTHING I ASK of him!! Been a pretty solid ride... He's had some ISSUES that's for sure.... But I've always said, " If you BUILD THEM..... THEY WILL BREAK!! Better than my Ram though... 😉

Well, first off let me WELCOME you to the forum. I didn't put anything in the builds really. But yer'z looks a bit like my "Bear".... I used the OEM mirrors... sides and rear view... You can scan my pics to see my bear...  but beware if buying the OEM sides.... they come as single mirrors... 

Welcome to the forum!! I have all three of the OEM mirrors... As for the side mirrors??? Pretty small really, tough to see anything out of them at speeds... as for low speeds.... they work okay... As per the rearview.... it is like a boat mirror, (bubble style) and throws things out of proportion. But they do meet any mirror requirements for onroad use... 

Glad to have you here,

Joe and Bear 

Yes... yer coolant lines and wiring run through the tunnel. But you can find room to drill. They actually have you drill through floor when installing center gun post.... So, it can be done.... JUST BE CAREFUL!!!

GOOD LUCK

2019 HD10 XTCab - great seats.  Better than my old 2011 Polaris 800 Crew.  -Mark

Same here!!! I thought they looked a bit awkward.... But after putting multiple 100+ mile trips logged in Bear, and many over 300 mile weekends.... I've been VERY IMPRESSED!!

Welcome to the forum... Good luck with your new ride... I actually went with a SIRIUS XM stereo and built a custom mount which sits in my center console (2019) There are so many different routes to go... Which makes all our rigs just that much more personalized... 

Stay safe and HAVE FUN!!

Here you can see the one screw and washer that holds up the liner from sagging... in the lower shot you see the door switch that operates my dome light...

Wiper for sure!! Especially here in the PNW... I actually went with a SIRIUS XM stereo.. added some tweets to the front speakers and mounted my rears straight to the headliner.... (no supports other than a screw and fender washer into the roof) haven't had any issues with over 2000 miles on Bear.

I paid 750 for the can am extended warranty.  Negotiated down from 1200.00

Now to see if it DOES ANYTHING for you if the need arises...

Just heard from a buddy that has been waiting on his new ride... First it was chips and such...... and his expected delivery was June.... He was then told his rig was done and would be shipping shortly...... Unfortunately in between then and now....... A FIRE in the factory!!!!! His rig is now molten metal..... and burnt rubber.... 😢

I'm thinking this may create an even bigger BACKLOG!!! Upside??? Bear may be worth a mint!!! 

😉

That sounds like a great deal.. Now for that wiper... 😉

And then?????

Lol...

I've never had an issue. Done a couple grease jobs now... 

Maybe something in boat seat style. Could mount a flush mount in the bed corner with a drop in post. Basically like a bass boat. Plenty sturdy and could be pulled when not in use... 

Good luck

Had this same issue with the dealer I purchased my unit. Told them my unit went into limp mode in high gear. Found bad speed sensor and swapped from my maverick sport to verify issue and I was still placed on a 2 month waiting list since they had no room for my defender. Asked to ship new speed sensor but they said they had to make sure it was a bad sensor even though I had already done that. Just ordered new speed sensor and fixed it myself 

Definitely NO GOOD!! Pretty sad they don't cover (basically ANYTHING) things like that on the word of the customer considering they don't have time to get the rig in.... Like we just want to pull out and replace working parts??? My dealer flat out told me that CanAm just makes it a PITA to cover parts.... Like REALLY??? Not like we're asking for new motors/clutches.... or their GARBAGE AXLES!!!

My A/C Failed early with a little triangle. After that repair it was returned to me in Texas where it gets to 100 degrees still blowing hot air. I returned it to the shop after returning it to the shop they called me and said it is working as designed. I said how so? They stated that Can-Am spec for the AC unit is that it only blows air 10 degrees below outside air. So if it is 100 degrees outside it will blow 90 degree air on you. I spent 34,000 for the ability to have AC in the cabin and finding this out is heartbreaking. Buyer Beware!

Another reason I'm glad I don't have an AC unit in Bear.... I'm curious to know, how many (if any) have had NO ISSUES with their AC units? Because from what I've seen there haven't been ANY.... and NO RECALL or REBATE...... 

😢

Let Bear and I be the first of many to WELCOME you to the forum!! Lots of great people here with plenty of info... Always nice to have another join the ranks.... Nice rig. Be safe and have fun...

Which forward a arm did you go with? I just ordered a 22 Max XT HD8 and I have a set of 32x10x14” Xcomps on system 3 SB-4 beadlocks that came off a friends HD 5 base  (too heavy for the little motor or at least that’s what he thought) and I will need a-arms. Thanks in advance 

Not really sure you will need them. I believe that the 20+ models already have the forward A-arms. I got the SATV HD forward arms... I also have a 2" lift on Bear. Hope that helps...

Seems as if you have the tank vent issues others have had... There are a couple things to try. I've not had the issue, but others have. There are a couple threads here that address the issue. Next time it happens, loosen your gas cap and see if it stops... 

Good luck

Looks Great!! Just goes to show, more that one way to skin a cat!! Glad you got it covered

Welcome to the forum!! Lots of great info here... and some good people as well!! Have fun and STAY SAFE!!!
