    What is your experience / review of the Wet Sounds multi media radio and Speakers? WS-MC-2? SW Series 6.5"? Also
     your opinion on the front roof liner support & clearance with that set up? Speakers carry a good bit of weight?

    Im looking at going with the exact same set up in my 2021 XT over a Rockford Fosgate PMX-2. The auto dim with the wet sounds interface with the headlights intrigue me.  


    Any feed back is appreciated

  2. Still having an issue with the fuel tank pressure. Went for a ride this weekend (getting warm out here in AZ, probably 95 degrees when we were riding) and I heard a whine coming from the engine area when we took a break and the engine was at idle. Lifted the bed and it was coming from the tank. Unscrewed the filler cap and it instantly blew pressure out the tank and the whine stopped. I verified that none of the lines are pinched in any way. Is there any way to test these one way valves on the breathing system? Also had a few periods of smelling fuel vapors during the ride. One would think if pressure was building and it wasn’t releasing at all, no fumes would be smelled? Thoroughly confused at this point. Has anyone had any of these issues or know of any tests to see what is going on?
  3. I have the springs from S3 which does lift the defender. I forget what the total lift was, I believe it was around an inch and a half. I don’t believe this was necessary to fit the wheel and tire combo.
  4. Thanks! This gives me some things to test out. As always, your help and knowledge are much appreciated.
  5. You bring up an interesting point here.... I’m curious what your thoughts are. I don’t mean to hijack this thread, maybe it is somehow related to Bill’s problem... My defender threw an engine misfire code about a month ago. Checked everything out, and it all seemed fine. I did decide to replace the fuel pickup prefilter just out of precaution. It was a little brown which is understandable considering the desert areas we ride in. Fast forward to last weekend and my fuel gauge started showing abnormal levels. I know the tank was full and topped off pre-ride. It started reading half full and down to empty at one point. We got back from the ride and it took 2 gallons to fill it back up. I double checked that the alignment marks were correct on the pump, so that should eliminate the possibility of the float being obstructed or getting stuck in a certain position on the side of the tank. I remember unscrewing the gas cap before I pulled the pump this last time and there was definitely pressure in there. I’m assuming it was positive pressure blowing fumes out instead of sucking air in. Your comment on the pressure build up made me wonder.... the clear breather hose coming out of these units... are they supposed to allow air in and out? Or is it more of a one way valve? I took the white plastic filter piece off the hangs above the air box and I could blow air in the clear tube but could not pull any air out. This was tested with the gas cap off. It makes me wonder if my recent issues could somehow be related to abnormal pressures in the tank or a breather tube not functioning properly. Thanks for all your insight Andy!
  6. It should use the same 1” in the rear for yours to even it out. Your machine might end up in the 70-72” range with the 4+3 offset. I posted a picture in an upper post of the spacer I used. I don’t know if you saw it or not. Keep us posted as you get everything put together. I’m excited to see it!!
  7. Yea for $400, I’d be doing that project myself for sure. I have more peace of mind knowing that I took the time to run stuff right and make good connections, etc. Dealers, not all of them, have been known to cut some corners along the way. I also enjoy getting to know the machine. Gaining the knowledge of how things are put together can help you out in the future. yes, wheel spacers are super easy. Just have your torque wrench handy. One side note for you on the wheels... these use the tapered lug nuts to center the wheel on the hub. Make sure the taper is seated correctly in the wheel before you tighten them down. If the aren’t centered, you could damage the tapered “seat” of the wheel. This will make sense once you get them.
  8. Good looking combo you have picked out! I didn’t know can am had factory spacers. I used the rocktrix brand. Found them on Amazon. I did all my modifications by myself. The Corbin setup was pretty easy. I’d say it was a 2 or 3 on the 1-10 scale of difficulty. Pop the dash cluster out. Removed the two floor panels in the middle of the cab that cover the coolant lines and wiring running to the rear and just start fishing it through. You basically remove most of the factory wire harness and just follow the same path for the Corbin kit. One word of advise... lay it all out on the floor before you start to make sure you have the right direction and right lengths running to the correct lights. For example, the rear tail lights run along the rear passenger side upper frame rail. The one running to the rear passenger brake light has a shorter pigtail than the one cutting across to the driver side. Seems like common sense, but I ran these wires and somehow had them reversed.
  9. Just measured it... 68” front and rear. Maybe add an inch or so to both sides for tire sidewall bulge. I would say no more than 70” true overall width.
  10. Thanks Jason! It’s been a lot of fun building it to this point. Wheel and tire setup I’m running have been very impressive. I would recommend this combo to anyone. I run them at 8psi. Yes, the 1” rear spacer got my wheels as close as possible to the same width. Best of luck when you get your new machine!! I bet March can’t come soon enough for ya! If you have any questions, let me know.
  11. Welcome to the forum! My Wife and I live in Tucson. Where are you?
  12. Lots of good options listed here so far. I got a scissor jack from rock mountain atv along with a tusk mount that clamps to the 2” cross bar of the roll cage inside the cab. Plenty of head room, doesn’t get in the way at all. Hope to never need it 🤞🏻. Just another option for you...
  13. Hey cooper, check out this thread. I added these pads to my machine and they have made a world of difference.
  14. Thanks for your insight Andy! I may be wrong but I believe the quick trip gas station I fill up at out here in Arizona is “top tier” gasoline which is just an additive package when fuel is ordered, with a maximum of 10% ethanol. I’ll double check that next time I stop by. I would assume with our dry climate out here, the fuel should be less prone to moisture absorption? Maybe that theory is completely wrong, I have no idea. When I changed the prefilter on the pump, I didn’t notice any moisture or water in the tank. Keeping my fingers crossed this was just a fluke thing. Thanks again for your help!!
