Welcome to the forum, from Bulverde. Can’t go wrong with the Lonestar

Thank you A hunt to remember. So that’s not a bad price? 

Paid right under 19k for my 2019 Lonestar edition out the door, in stock condition. But I’ve added some accessories since then, of course.

Do you have a cab unit? I am getting the HD10 Max Limited and have watched some videos on the exhaust but I don’t want it to compromise the quietness of the cab but wouldn’t mind the  added horsepower. 

I have the Lonestar. It is louder but not obnoxious. It gives a nice sound while in the throttle. 

A little work in the snow. 

Not used to snow here south Texas.

Sounds good!

Yes, sounds a lot better than stock.

Any chance you can add a sound clip? Thanks.

Steve, there is a video in the original post. But here another one. 

Just installed the MBRP exhaust and I didn’t want anything to loud and I believe this system fits that perfectly. Nice throaty sound but not obnoxious.  

Flexing her out a bit! That was interesting!

Pretty country, no flat tires or do you have to stay on the trails?😉

There are trails off the main road that we took that were a more aggressive but just went out for a nice Sunday trail ride with wife and kids and stopped lunch on one of the side trails. 

Had a business trip to Tucson and decided to stretch the legs out on the defender. Nice to get wide open trails compared to my home state of Texas.

Well it be ok to put 30 all the way around on my defender

I runs 30’s all around on my defender Lonestar with no issues 

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 

Welcome fellow Texan from Bulverde. Congratulations on the new rig.

2018 Can am Defender Lone Star Edition. Had a check engine light on. It would start for a second and die. I used a shot of starting it would then stay running. I got a code P0131. I put a new O2 sensor. It still did the same. It ran like it was starving for fuel. Got another code P1171. I changed the fuel screen. Now it won’t start at all. It runs on starting fluid but not on gas. I put a new fuel pump in it. Still won’t start. Not sure what to do now. 

Can you hear the fuel pump come on when turning key to ON position? Fuel pump fuse?

Is there a switch that I can tie to so when I put it in reverse, I can get the back up lights to go on?

Not sure if there is a reverse signal you can pick up off ECU for a micro switch to actuate a relay. Would like to know if you figure something out though. 

Nice machine!

Did you just put these on a switch or somehow tie a power wire into the unit when it's put into reverse? 

I just put these on a switch since I usually get out of seat when I use rear lights.

Help wanted please .. 2019 HD 10 XMR it has 43 kms on it just came out of the shop trying to figure out the problem but no luck .. Speedo is currently not working and once machine is warm while driving it cuts rpms down to about 4500 / 5000 while foot is on floor also had the L come up on dash and loss of power steering while the rpms cut down .. driving me crazy trying to figure this out 

Hey Cory. Have identical issue on mine. Did the speed sensor fix your issue?

I tried running it without the cap on. Still does the same thing. Ordered a new fuel pump as the old one was rusted really bad. Decided to bite the bullet and just buy a new one. 

If your pump was rusted in tank you may have some water in your tank as well. Might want to clean it out and make sure you have good gas

Can u get a home limp mode from not changing the break in oil?

Never had this issue on mine during break in

Just had this exact same issue on mine this Saturday. Ordered a speed sensor. Hopefully this fixes it. Sounds like replacing the sensor fixed everyones issue.

I am looking to something similar to my 2020 HD8.  Where did you purchase the lights and who makes them? Thanks in advance...

 

These are ignite backup lights Made by rigid. I got them on amazon.

Hi Rudy, I ordered a SATV pin locker this week and should receive it in about 10 days, it is very similar to your halo locker except that it may be a slightly easier install. On the SATV site they remove the hub before pulling the axles on both sides and than the upper A arm on the passengers side. Your picture seems to show that you were able to leave the axles in the hubs and drop your lower A arms while suspending the upper A arm complete with shock. This would save a fair amount of disassembly and reassembly if I read your picture correctly.

I have a Defender XT cab so the front end should be very similar if not identical?

My machine has a full bottom sectional skid plate so its difficult to see where the grommet is that would allow the electrical wire to be run up into the cab and connected to the switch? 

I will add the install to my build thread once this is install is complete.

Thanks in advance for any input you can provide.

Hey Andy,

That is correct. I left my axles in and was able to remove it out of the differential one I separate the lower a arm. I strapped the upper a arm up and once I loosened the winch and mount plate it came right out. I loosened the forward winch plate with a strap just to hinge it forward enough for clearance. 

Finished hooking up new rear bumper lights. Very bright!
