Broke my rear sway bar. Upon inspecting my dads newer xmr max, it appears the newer models do not have a rear sway bar. I have a 2019 and he has a 2021. I’m wondering if I should fix mine or just leave it off. thoughts? I’m worried there will be too much flex and I’ll start breaking axles.

I’m in the exact same boat. Only thing I’ve found that helps is never run the stock headlights at the same time as my light bar(s). I cannot use the winch for more than 5 mins (with everything else off) or my battery goes dead. I don’t know enough about electrical but I can tell you my Maverick was able to run a lot more all at the same time with no issues.

does anybody know what the largest tire you can stuff on a stock XMR Max without a lift?

Finally installed this thing.

Can someone please provide full dimensions of a max XMr with tracks. LxWxH please

you need to drill the roll cage and use rivets to attach the other half of the snaps.

just arrived. In these pictures, the Flak Jacket is placed loosely on the windshield, that is why there is slack.

Can anyone provide an update to this? I’m looking for ways to increase power coming from stator. I‘m throwing codes when the machine is locked up in 4x4 and audio is playing. Not enough power from stator dealer tells me

Dealer said that with my overhead audio ON, the stater isn’t producing enough power to run the machine. Just so happens the smart lock system threw a code. That’s very frustrating. If that’s true, I’ll be screwed at night if I’m using my light bars in the mud.

Anyone ever see their check engine light come on, and a message that reads "check smart lock system". Had this happen over the weekend while in 4x4, Mud mod "ON", front and rear diffs were not locked. 12" of mud and I had all four wheel spinning at low RPM. Things seemed to be working fine, except the error. Any ideas? 2018 Defender Max Xmr

anyone have experience with a Flack Jaket https://www.flackjaket.com/store/p128/Can_Am_Defender_Windshield_protector_Fits_years_2017-2020.html#/ I've made my own windshield protector from rubber flooring but I'm looking for a better solution

Here's a fun fact for you: the machine is register as a 2018 Lonestar Max, but it is actually an XMR. Can-Am slated this VIN to be a Lonestar but made it in to a XMR as one of their first production vehicles. I bought it from a dealer as their "show machine". Only had a few miles on it from being wheeled in and out of trailers at shows.

Can anyone who mud rides chime in on how often they need to clean their rad. I’m coming from the Maverick XMR (2017) that wouldn’t last one mud whole without going in to limp mode. Did a rad relocate and that machine was perfect. I’m not eager to do another rad relocate on the defender but fear I will need too.

Hello, welcome! Got mine last fall. Looking forward to getting out more in big groups once we can.
