[@christopherlarter4386]

Defender is a winner. Ive had mine 3 years now. They aren't perfect but they are about as good as you can get in the utility class. Mine is 2016 hd10, epi mudder clutch kit, 29.5" xm310 (thanks sxsblog!) and s3 heavy duty spring kit, SYA warrior riser kit. 2000 miles Damage in 3 years:1 twisted tie rod, 1 axle boot, 1 belt

[@bobbarrett7748]

Your laughter is infectious! That seems like a pretty stout vehicle. I’ve been looking for a golf cart to run around the property but after watching this, I think I’m going to go bug my Can-Am dealer. That seems perfect!

[@jasplat88]

Watching this was a great way to wake up on a Saturday morning! Cool short video.

[@sidewinderdesigns8889]

Wow for a simple easy setup I really like that unit, very versatile machine.

[@craigstrom8619]

Awesome. Those can am machines are badass. Doug you still have my favorite with the yxz build.

[@JustinG85]

What a great way to start a Saturday. Perfect length video for a cup of coffee.

[@zloftsgard1]

Wow. That machine is impressive. Hard to beat how useful and practical as well as mud work. Great video. Thanks for the great content. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@tobycline9709]

I love all the mud videos! One thing I will say, with all the success your having I'm glad you guys haven't let it change you. I've been watching your channel since the beginning. Way to stay humble. Great job guys!!

[@thomasblais3612]

Hey boys, the mud/trail mode switch is for the smart lock front diff that was released in 2018. At least that's what it's for on my wife's x3 xmr. Have fun

[@michaelmessner3169]

Awesome! I really was never a Can-Am fan, however with your vehicle reviews you are certainly changing my mind. Try not to have so much fun I find myself laughing throughout this video. Nice job guys!

[@SXSBlog]

It's a great unit man. We can't wait to keep putting miles on her.

[@TheCheesewalrus]

Doug's full-time job is to get mud, grass and ditch water to the face... the envy is real.

[@matthewyoung7246]

#Me too🥺😭 🤣

[@patfilipczak6888]

There is nothing as fun as puddle jumping great video

[@jimmace6148]

Watching you guys turn into little kids is hilarious. Keep it up!!

[@martintheriault5348]

this has to be my favorite video from you guys, it shows that you can have fun with a simple machine. Great content boys.

[@stuntman660]

The fun you guys have is just contagious! Thank you guys because without you doing these vid's we couldn't watch!

[@LCPowersports]

Yes the Defender XMR is a beast! We love our crew cab model! Enjoyed the video!

[@yomomma5295]

Definitely a unit I’ve had my eye on. I’m glad to hear it’s a good unit!

[@petertronset6576]

That unit looks like it handled everything you threw at it with ease! Nice!!

[@kevinsteffe4258]

I like all mud related videos before I even hit play 😂 already know it’s going to be a great video! Keep them coming!

[@marnielarocque9412]

Howdy guys, I can`t help but smile till my face hurts watching you guy`s. Now that you tried my fav canam and side by side if you get a new Canam it has to be the 6x6 because we all see ton`s of 4 wheel drives and if you play with up grades on it it will be epic

[@brianhubbard6423]

I like it! Great video, it's about time you guy's washed off the mud from mudnats. Keep up the great videos.

[@monsterrodderrippington4396]

Hellyeah man!!!! Nice unit!!! Makes me want to go out and buy one or two right now!!!! I bet you guys can find some really challenging mud holes to try her out in!!!! Like the big poop soup mud hole at Mudnats!!!!

[@redneckvids1621]

Sxs blog I think y’all should make the defender a mud unit with portals and big mud tires

[@Jmeinema1]

Should try out a Polaris general. Same basic concept. Dual functionality. The defender Definitely looks like another awesome sport utility vehicle to bring options to the market. Love the open rear diff function for around the house projects

[@SXSBlog]

The selectable rear diff is a way bigger advantage than we thought it would be thing turns on a dime with no lawn damage at all

[@Jmeinema1]

@@SXSBlog does the defender have a trailer hitch on the rear?

[@apascarelliful]

That’s a beast right out of the box. 👍

[@jeremyruss2407]

Love my can am defender , great to watch someone put it thru hell, makes me wanna go get mine a little more dirty now that I see someone else beat the poo out of one. Always afraid to go to far and break mine but I think I can get it a little more without any worries about that after I see what u guys do to the one you have , thanks and great videos , by far my favorite you tube blog to watch, keep it up my fellow Michiganders !

[@alangolat2907]

I want the manufactures to read this comment. My next purchase will be determined by the machines these fine gentlemen review.

[@act2.533]

Alan Golat Thats exactly why the Talon is on my shortlist.

[@alangolat2907]

I would of never considered a Talon if not for these buds beating on one or the Can-Am featured in this video.

[@conan6329]

Going to have to add the Defender XMR on the list!!!!!

[@SuperDrake79]

Yee Yee! Been asking for this since January lol. Thanks boys!

[@baddog3741]

If you guys ever come to Florida let us be happy to take you guy mudding & swamp riding! 👍

[@everythingoutdoors1857]

How about a roof and windshields for ranger it would make it look a lot better , and some light bars

[@SXSBlog]

We'll put a roof on it at some point for sure, windshield would just get wreckes though lol

[@everythingoutdoors1857]

SXSBlog.com. Nice. Yeah true lol

[@lilsolo68]

[@stacyreid5077]

I've got 2 Commanders one is lifted 6" on 10" wide wheels and 32" Black Mambas and the other one is got arched front A-arms and rear lengthened trailing arms on 30" Silverbacks

[@kachinkafowler2572]

"Puts the defender in 4x4 mode while driving" The transmition: Am I a joke to you?

[@MrCarpediempilot]

That seems like that is a solid unit. Probably not the unit for where I live currently but one day I plan to move north and that may be an option when I do. Seems like it would be a nice machine for hunting too.

[@harrisonfastenau2150]

You guys should try out a Honda pioneer 1000-5 we have one and we love it and the dual clutch transmission is great

[@ROMPE_NALGAS_24-7]

HE'LL YEAH ANOTHER SXS BLOG VIDEO 💪💪💪💪💪💪🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏

[@H2ULTRA]

Good vid as usual bros. But I gotta confess, I was kind of hoping to see battledad review this.

[@lilsolo68]

Me too bud

[@kenndogg7469]

Hats off guys, I know this is an older video. I actually bought my defender after watching this video. I wouldn't trade my defender for anything, it is awesome I am lucky where we can street leagleize them. My employees think I'm a nut rolling up to work in it. And it is soo good in the woods love it yee yee.

[@CRob2323]

Another killer video! Keep it up guys! Can’t wait for the next video already

[@BigMonkeyMan21]

Two men just doing what they do best

[@quig1984m]

TOOK LONG ENOUGH!! Haha so glad can am gave you guys a demo. Obviously all us east coasters are going to want you to compare with the highlifter Ranger. However the are not currently comparable with the lift on the Ranger. We know they both perform you just seem to brake alot with the polaris. However it's a different beast. By the way dont mind a short ad for you guys to leave the dream! Keep up the good work

[@mikemiller3770]

Love the video love Can-Am was a great test watching you do all the stuff you guys deafly know how to have fun keep the videos coming

[@RandomRedd]

You guys are awesome! Looks like a great hunting rig! Thank you for the video buds have a great day!

[@Itchintogodeerhuntin]

Now that looked like boat loads of fun, not bad for a can am 👍🏼👍🏼

that was a fun video! can't believe how bought that little can am is!

been waiting for a real review on this, thank you!

[@gt101080]

good vid...like the trail riding videos like the ones from early days....keep up the cool videos guys, enjoy!!!!

[@roadkill-dc7oz]

I have one and love it , I find the clutching ia very smooth , enjoy the easy maintenance of the engine in the rear , keeps the cab cool in the summer would love to see you guys lift it portals or bigger tires , iam running 35 with a 5 catvos lift and stock clutching and it pulls them good cant wait to see what you do with it

[@BrandonS75]

Guys I have a defender myself and they are beasts of units

ANOTHER GR8 VIDEO!!!! THANKZZ FOR SHARING!!!

[@brspeedysgarage]

Ya I wanna complain that you’re disturbing the mud molecules in their home! 😀. Good stuff.

[@christopherwilliams3636]

Ok its time to challenge the xmr and the new Polaris and see which 1 is better at mud, which is faster, pulling power, trail test and take them where you guys did in this video. Cause what you guys do and the review you guys give out are great for ppl looking to buy 1 of these. But i think if you guys did a competition between the xmr and polaris not mud lyfe cause we know what it can do lol.

[@theirishaxe9405]

I dunno about mudding but sweet watering👍

[@patrickhardison3955]

Do a build on it for Battle Dad. It would be so cool.

[@easternrednecks4055]

When having a windshield is a good idea but you don’t give a s**t so you just send it lol

Finally!!!!!

I was at the Grand Canyon for Father’s Day with no cell service...missed the video’s!

Just remember the Gas Cap......$499, 2 fuel injectors, and a new fuel pump later, I learned a valuable lesson! Rushing and filling fuel do not mix!

[@SXSBlog]

yikes lol

[@EnabledShooter]

The mudding is fun. The hours of cleaning, not so much. 👍

[@adventuresofhess1058]

Might be my dads hunting vehicle. What’s the dB on this rig? Seems quite in the woods portion and that’s what my dad needs. Then I can get my other rzr4 900 back haha

No idea but the literature is out there somewhere I'm sure. Honestly it's super nice!

Running 30 MPH through a wet hole is not how anyone I know (sober) drives. You easy in and throttle up as needed. You guys need to come to Florida and visit Hog Waller for the 2020 Super Bog.

That's boring, gotta seeeeeend it

Fun video, LIKED!

[@jerrybaldwin7543]

How come yall get them with no roof are windshield??

[@huntermorse5520]

needa get a maverick sport xmr

[@jabamedia7939]

what would you say is the best OEM mud machine in production right now?

[@SXSBlog]

We've really enjoyed both this and the Highlifter Ranger. Not really enough time stock with the HL to compare. The doors on the HL are an advantage in the mud but this is great for utility work.

[@johndoe-ly8jt]

BaJa Clan Media you can’t go wrong with either one. Polaris and canam are top of the line.

@@SXSBlog 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😎

[@ROTAXD]

I still love my can am’s...but for $20k, they’ve gotta up their game in what comes on the machine as far as creature comforts. First of all...those nets instead of full doors is rediculous. Next, a bench seat ? If I wanted a bench seat I’d buy a 570 ranger. The lack of a factory roof is also being pretty cheap.

[@jippys1]

If that is just for mudding how come they don't have full doors on it.

[@rimmyjim501]

Now Douglas where are your havoc goggles young man

[@hart492]

How’s it ride compared to a non mud unit?? My renegade xmr has the worst suspension ever and I’m wondering if the defender xmr will be the same way. My back can’t take no more.
