Easy Fix and Cheap Insurance | Can Am X3 Lower Control Arm Replacement

Replacing the Lower control arm on the Can Am X3 XRS actually turned out to be an enjoyable experience. While we were at it we also added gusset plates from Baja Kits to prevent any damage to the bulk head in the future. We also added Baja kits Radius Tie Rod Arms as well. Links for all of these parts can be found in below! Special Thanks to www.SXSBlog.com for the tutorial :

Best conversations Max: “It fairly clear that most people don’t watch my channel for tutorials on technical builds and how to does” Tyler: “and if you do - DON’T!!!”

[@JFKEOD]

Max Powell (the psychic) - 22:18 - "The next video I do, you guys should have some awesome UTV footage". Me - Just read Maxx Powell's update of totaling his CanAm at the dunes. Me- MAX POWELL YOU NEVER DISAPOINT! Love you and your channel brother, glad you're okay.

[@michaelscott7482]

21:06 ..LOVE the Black Sabbath!!! Just smashed the thumbs UP button!

[@Mattswarf]

100k incoming!!!!!! Awesome work bro

[@CavemanOutdoorsMissouri]

This was hard to watch knowing the CanAm is trashed. Also I ordered the new sticker and then you came out with the red white and blue one. Guess I will have to order another one.

[@Maxx.Powell]

Yeah it was hard to edit :( I edited this at the sand dunes while everyone played

[@LeeShand]

Nice job on that install!

[@davebarrette1748]

SXSBLOG.COM is the SHIT!!! I buy ALL my parts from them. Watch every video they put out! Doug Butterfield knows his stuff. He’s a lot like me with the Mechanical and Fab skills. Main reason I go with them with all my parts is Doug. I definitely appreciate his choice of parts and design of cage builds.

[@housegoth]

Thanks for putting this video out even though the Can-Am is toasted. It must have been hard to do the editing on this after the wreck.

[@marcmo7138]

Doug at SXSBlogs is a great mechanic.

[@mykalbee]

Oh ya Florence I've ridden quads and sand rails out there. Sooooo much fun.

[@dangoman01]

Dude! All my family lives in florence! That's awesome!

[@dangoman01]

You need to check out bj's icecream while you're there!

[@traviskorda3262]

I love that you've been able to turn yourself into a brand, without the help of Hollywood or anywhere else. I'll be ordering some stickers thanks for.the content and the personal motivation!

[@Maxx.Powell]

Kinda crazy right? I like that's aspect aswell. It's cool to be your own director, cinematographer, editor and tallent.

[@traviskorda3262]

@@Maxx.Powell Right on man, just ordered a shirt and 3 different decals. Thanks again

[@Maxx.Powell]

My man👊 thanks for supporting the channel man

[@SwerveNSEclipse]

Florence is very nice. Make sure to do some trails and beach driving! Also razor backs (hills that are straight down on one side and you can’t tell) are everywhere and they will hurt you and destroy your machine.

[@kiloknox]

you should look at that guesset kit. i think you have the front one on wrong... it goes to the back lower control arms bolts. thats why the bottom of the guesset has a spot to go over the bar. opps i just finished the video. Good job guys keep up the good work.

[@jamesmorris7581]

Cool video you've gotten going here.

[@philcarr7807]

Too funny... "it's ok my son likes boobs too" hahaha

[@smithbla]

Wish I could have met you at UTV take over! Make another trip out !

[@Ballen9494]

Smart putting a gusset on the front end.That won't be the last upgrade you do. All of the stock gussets will bend and wallow out from wear alone. Get an aftermarket bulkhead, rear plate and toe link support. Then add a shock tower brace to the menu and your frame should be rigid enough to start buying the fun stuff!

[@jessitaylor4170]

Your wife is funny as hell lol. Also you need to put a supercharger in the Tacoma!

[@matthewmoran1271]

Jessi Taylor it hasn’t been released yet

[@keystonerider1308]

He should stop dumping money in it and get a full-size lol.

[@saltytrucksbruh8212]

Its so wierd seeing a side by side on truck tires, this is my first

[@madisonmyers685]

You're going to need a bigger parts wall for that whole frame 😭

[@BearClawJ]

This is super hard to watch!! RIP CanAm :( I am super happy no one got seriously hurt though!! I guess we will get a ton of CanAm rebuild videos now :) Thanks for staying positive max!

[@TSGear]

She's not dead...just mostly dead. We will rebuild.

[@BearClawJ]

@@TSGear good to hear! I bet theres alot of work to be done though :)

[@TSGear]

@@BearClawJ ya we had a fabricator buddy of mine look at it yesterday. He builds sand rail tube frames. I'm optimistic.

[@Maxx.Powell]

We are holding on to hope✊

[@BearClawJ]

@@TSGear thats good to hear! cant wait to see the CanAm back in action

[@bonesalt]

Hey Max, you have a good friend there Tyler 😉 You guys made me laugh "actually I'm a front guy" 😆 sorry I didn't see your son 🙈😂

[@Maxx.Powell]

Hahaha whoops. Yeah Tyler is a great dude.

[@naquoashuey2794]

You guys do know that lifts can go higher than 18inches right?

[@Darwindiggler]

U love that trike ! What was his utube channel..your bud that's helping u

[@duneattack]

Unfortunately those stock lower control arms are really weak. If you are watching this video because you bent a lower control arm, please consider upgrading this weak link. There are several after market options. The dual shear gusset kit Maxx shows are a must have mod though

[@itsantonios1902]

Can we all agree that Tyler's new name is "Tyler the tool man "???

[@colinbarrineau3102]

BTW, how's your leg doing since surgery? Been awhile since I've come back to your channel.

[@Maxx.Powell]

Oh it's doing much better now, thanks for asking. I re-injured it in Mexico last year in November and I didnt get the proper treatment right way so I had some complications with that but other wise it's doing well. Glad to have you back!

[@collingerth3443]

I have never been wheeling on sand dunes. The ones in Colorado you cannot drive on.

[@Maxx.Powell]

Well let's just say they can get the best of you Haha

[@aspiringadventure]

Ball joint press rental for free from most auto parts stores.

[@Maxx.Powell]

That would be handy. Good to know for next time. Thanks ma

[@dunderland241]

Famous last words I hope we don't break anything.

[@stephencaine1548]

Can Am is cool, but those Fieros in the background!

[@DawsonA]

You should make a mp lanyard or a keychain!

[@Maxx.Powell]

Great idea! I'll look into that

[@timroberts1907]

you need to do something nice for Tyler, he saves you LOTS of $$$

[@Maxx.Powell]

Yeah he does. His a great dude

[@colby2150]

I love how this mans videos still get monetized, even after all the gems he drops in these videos

[@RenegadeTactical]

Super..... Charge..... The..... TACO!!!!

[@Maxx.Powell]

Apparently theres one comming out next here. When it does I'll see what I can do!

[@slabz710]

"Not true, i love boobs" 😂

[@jacobattias8401]

Bruh intro.. "Have a nice time' So funny

[@red6743]

Wait. I thought you got your knee fixed. I had my ACL repaired and that's not right @Maxx Powell. Trust me, I'm an Internet Dr.

[@jacobo1016lax]

lots of accidental foreshadowing in the episode

[@Maxx.Powell]

Haha that's for sure

[@Darwindiggler]

Lol so the dude who broke it didn't even help ..but tell me he atleast offered to. Oh well I'm digging the new XP Pro Four seatee

[@chapekfabrication2975]

Too bad the can am is totaled now😭😭😭😭 get the frame straightened and a new cage!

[@user-lf5mq8qy3b]

It gets tricky

[@88SILVERADO1]

Mine broke on the first ride

[@kentquindt7898]

22.51 "hopefully we don't break anything" well... I have to break it to you but i think you broke something...

[@killerrzr8366]

That bracket was supposed to go on the back of the lower arms not the front of them

[@killerrzr8366]

Sorry just saw where u put it in the right spot 😂

[@Maxx.Powell]

No worries Haha

[@Boosted94Supra]

:)

[@bdo9114]

luke should have helped

Can we get an F in the chat for the X3 :'(

[@brokesxs2547]

Is this for real

[@ryanmeyers3675]

So sad watching knowing the results of the trip you worked so hard for but rigs can be replaced I think In one of your videos you even said you your worried about screwing something up don't be remember it's just money

[@tommy6322]

"Focusing a lot more the Can Am" hmm sorry bro 😔
