[@everythingoff-road6637]

Eating the foam was the best part made my day

[@joemccolery]

so i see nick and nick getting hooked up on parts witch is great but i think its time for Doug to get his hook ups for the Yamaha or something he can use around the shop like a few new t30 torks lol

[@jodymiller9474]

joemccolery I agree it Doug' time to upgrade the yxz

[@Bumpertrash1]

You guys notice the yellow plastics laying around the shop?

[@AppalachianMountainRiders]

You guys are a hoot!! The more I watch your vids the more I want to watch you vids...lol. Can’t wait to see the finished BEAST X3!

[@SXSBlog]

Shes chugging along bud! This video was filmed Sunday so we're pretty much spot on point with where we are in real time.

[@davidl.532]

So sweet, nice to see you guys are getting the recognition you deserve. The time laps was great and seeing all three of you working as buds was the best. Can't wait for the part 2 of phase 2. If you do a front end alignment would like to see your way of aligning it.

[@SXSBlog]

Yeah we're going to do a full alignment of front and rear using Lone Star's suggestions. Thanks David!

[@leemcginnis738]

What a difference that makes the front look. Beefy buds, she's a good unit! Can't wait till you get the back done.

[@braide86]

I am loving the way things are progressing on this machine! Makes me want to go pick one up right now!

[@natemiller2500]

Great content guys!!!! Beast mode YXZ for Doug, he turns all the wrench’s so he deserves a TERBA CHERGED YXZ!!!! Or just get an X3 Doug and be done with it !

[@Gunnerotis]

AndresPalominos Channel Doug deserves upgrades always fixing everything lol

[@masorcas1000]

He really does deserve it. It would be cool if both nicks and the rest of their buddies all pitched in and get it refreshed for him . Maybe new body plastics some badass wheels and a supercharger

[@jasonrichter6499]

The release time of these videos is awesome when second shift lunch starts at 7pm!!

[@RawDawgRandy]

First of all; sick beat. What is That? And secondly that white looks NASTY! 13k views guys. You're growing and it's awesome. Number 1 source for sxs entertainment I think.

[@SXSBlog]

Thanks Randy! We're going to keep pushing out the quality content in hopes if getting more awesome viewers like you.

[@hondakid199]

Lmao you guys crack me up! Just found you channel not to long ago and binge watched almost every video!! Keep up the badassery! Coming from New Brunswick Canada!!

[@SXSBlog]

Hey thanks for the love! We're trying to keep up on the output so stay tuned for more!

[@MrCarpediempilot]

Holy crap! It looks amazing. I can’t wait to see the back. Those swing arms look sweet. I thought these x3’s are amazing out of the box but, you really are taking it to another level. Nice work. P.S. that’s the cleanest I have ever seen Nicks Machine. Lol.

[@SXSBlog]

ahha yeah man I had to spruce her up for the video! We're takin her to 120!

[@civilizeddelinquent563]

STEVE IS ALL JACKED UP ON MOUNTAIN DEEEEEEWWWWWWW!!!!!!

[@PowerSportsQuebec]

[@shawnstubblefield1902]

Really could use a livestream in my life ASAP! Shreddy Life.

[@SXSBlog]

SHRRREEEEDDDD

[@captain2634]

If lone star is Doug approved,then it’s good enough for me.

[@stacyreid5077]

That's looking awesome, I thought at first about how it would look with the bumper done in white but after seeing it now I think it should stay black. I've taken my Commander apart several times front and back and my lift came from CATVOS and I wasn't impressed by the bolts used I e bent and broken just about everyone of them that they themselves put on when they installed my lift. But in their defense I am very rough on my machine, it is used to haul firewood to the top of cage play in mud, rocks and climb hills with big rocks. I try it all and my brother just says it beats him on how when I break it I always drive it back home no matter what it is I break. CanAm is all I tell him

[@Rmz250ryder]

You should think about painting those tree kickers and the bumper. Awesome vid guys!

[@SXSBlog]

There are more white parts on the way...

[@titopacheco8616]

SUSPENSION AND LUNCH!!!! IM ORDERING A SET RN LOL...you guys rock lmao....you guys make our every day ty guys KEEP EM COMIN!!🤙

[@425j1]

Those LSR parts look friggen schweet!

[@SXSBlog]

Ohhhhhh yesssssss

[@OTboom]

Insane! Good stuff, buds!!

[@ninurtathricemajestic7179]

Exciting like the exciter

[@joezokvic6662]

‘Da whistles go WOO WOO!

[@SXSBlog]

We got Lil Sis a LSR kit as well

[@FASTFabrication]

you should put anti seize on your bolts shanks especially the ones through steel like trailing arm shock sleeves, basically all big shank bolts.. and all those mis align spacers should put a grease like a red and tacky on the spacer surface that goes through uniball. With as much mud and water and snow you do will prevent seizing/binding/rusting... when i race bitd every bolt on truck especially suspension and shock and steeering related had bolts shanked first, then antiseize on shank, loctite on thread, and grease on mis aligns spacers next time you have apart or servicing i would def do it

[@timh6776]

keep the vids coming. love it

[@jimmace6303]

I used to have my own Doug back in my army days. I need another Doug.

[@SXSBlog]

[@johnfrancisrobinsoniii3409]

Harbor freight has a sweet deal on strap wrenches 2 pc set $4.99. Get it while it's hot!

[@terrylusk1266]

Doug knows his shit for sure.

[@BlindTv]

[@CaptainPetrolburner]

110% bud!

[@wood2hoz4]

Maybe, white beadlocks rings?

[@SXSBlog]

I keep going back and forth on it.... maybe just completely white wheels?!

[@wood2hoz4]

SXSBlog.com that would look killer!)

[@outdoorzone]

Those white packing pieces albino cheese puffs.....lmao!!! Nice parts!!! Another great vid gents!!!

[@SXSBlog]

NO wonder they tasted so good lol

[@MrBoilerman77]

Shoulda been white from the factory. Looks frickin sick!! BEAST MODE!!

[@jameseckert1249]

Looks Awesome bud

[@SXSBlog]

Thanks James!

[@eljefe4473]

LS makes some nice stuff. Now I would be worried about bending the frame.

[@McDoobles]

A whistle notch?! That’s only in the mornin!!!! I remember when there was swearing on this channel.

[@SXSBlog]

Blame KZbin for that one...

[@McDoobles]

Yea, I get it. Pussification of America is gaining Big Horn traction.

[@shorts_wx]

When you guys live streaming again? Good stuff

[@SXSBlog]

Not sure man, sooo busy. Maybe this weekend?

[@shorts_wx]

Ya no sweat. We all know this is ya'lls second life outside of normal work, relationships, etc. Maybe just livestream for 20-30 mins instead of going 2hrs? Short and sweet. Whatever you all put together, its always great. Hope to meet you guys live one day and ride - go 110 with Sous lol.

[@davidaprevo33]

Doug can you post a video on How to change break on a maverick x3 xmr turbo r

[@sxstrails6968]

Yum yum, ok love the parts... wow 😲

[@beckyburesh9037]

kicking ass Guys!!!

[@philipfoster373]

I would have exchanged those straight grease zerks for the 90° ones.

[@SXSBlog]

Notta bad plan

[@michaelfantin7607]

You guys should of threw on a front bulk head on too since it was torn apart 😎

[@SXSBlog]

The BRP front bumper is much thicker than the stock bulkhead and adds some pretty good reinforcement to the area.

[@mrbwh]

You sneaky bastards are putting together one hell of a race machine.

[@SXSBlog]

Race? what race?

[@crashhypermonkey]

Why no front gusset kit? It would have been a good time to do it with the front all taken apart, or is it not needed with the new A arms? Thanks for making videos guys!

[@SXSBlog]

Hey we tried but didn't have much success with the one we had. We did utilize some of its part to reinforce some areas. Moving forward we might install one..

[@wood2hoz4]

Was that Doug Sir?

[@davekorn6516]

Lonestar you guys should send some goodies to Doug for the yxz hes feeling pretty left out. Looking good guys needs a white cage and white rock sliders, hell might as well powder coat the bumpers while your at it and a sxsblog wrap job

[@davekorn6516]

Pablo Valdes spell check and these big ass fingers didn't help lol

[@ericcass7579]

Higher image on Tittabawassee road next to kernel burner does excellent wrap work. Tell shad Eric sent you for a 0% discount! Why is that so fun to say?

[@ehTV1000]

first thing I thought when I seen those beautiful A-arms was better beef up the frame, Hahaha. Really nice stuff boys. How come the gussets didn't workout?

[@SXSBlog]

Neither LSR or gusset manufactures fault. I think my front end was tweaked.

[@andybowers4669]

Lol on Steve sitting around but not being allowed to talk. We filmin here!

[@kcrc144]

Come on Doug give us a BEAST MODE YXZ!!!

[@craiglapointe5936]

Omg! You have my attention! Braapp!

[@John-hw3ds]

Never thought id see porn on SXSBlog! You guys never let me down. Cant wait for the rest of the build.

[@jamespitts9402]

I remember eating the peanuts when my dad was building his bronco mudder. (as a kid 20 yrs ago lol)

[@smcox1991]

Need to powder those bumpers white.

[@fanninrebel03]

Doug, that 1/2 inch Snapon ratchet is older than you bud lol. I’ve got one like it that was my grandfathers.

[@SXSBlog]

Classic relic lol

[@dutchb6863]

Getting bored with Can-Am when are you guys going to build an Argo? 8wheellife.😂 You guys are awesome

[@SXSBlog]

OCTOLYFE

[@chrisowens3365]

Keep building that x3 up and you might hang with the RZR. :)

[@dutchb6863]

Chris Owens can-am TV if you ask me might as well be building an Argo! 8 wheel life looks. like everything else got put on the back burner

[@SXSBlog]

Can only do so many things at once man, relax!

[@dutchb6863]

Not hatin ! Always look forward for one of your videos. it's my go to.

[@drewl4762]

The old wildcat could've used some LSR a arms...

[@SXSBlog]

hahahah RIGHT

[@natemiller2500]

Drew L the suspension kit is worth more than the wild cat... lol

[@Bumpertrash1]

A little hot sauce on the popcorn bud

[@5up614]

Been watching almost every episode guys. Just wondering how you guys find time to film and edit 2 vids a week? I produce 1 vid a week and its pretty difficult with full time owner operator of my diesel shop in south east michigan. Btw great editing and loving the content for sure. Keep it up and hope the band stays together. You guys click as a crew for sure!!!

[@SXSBlog]

Basically we just don't sleep...

[@5up614]

Hababa!! Right on!! Ok continue please.

[@boostenmkiv]

What was the problem with installing the front end gusset kit?

[@scottmusgrave3979]

Need to.piwder coat the front bumper white. And that unit will be on point.

[@SXSBlog]

Wait til you see the whole package!

[@Xmurda1]

Dougy is the MAN #firmhandshakesforDOUG

[@davidlincourt2700]

Nick's ride is lookin' tight. Any reason you guys didn't flip the front shocks? Keep up the content!

[@SXSBlog]

We just like the clean look of the stock mounting location

[@markwalker9236]

Witch 1 of u guys was the first to eat a packing peanut? And what made him eat 1? If u leave those extra peanuts stuck in those holes, u get lost and get hungry u got a snack.

[@SXSBlog]

Man I think I did it first (Nick L). Maybe Doug though? lol

[@jasong712]

Good stuff guys! I’m curious about the gusset kit. What was the issue that caused you not to install it? The front plate too hard to fit in or something?

[@Whiskey12snakebites]

Video won’t load? And it’s not my connection other videos will play

[@SXSBlog]

Weird! Still having issues?

[@bdhertz1]

Lovin the videos, did you guys ever consider the +4 long travel kit and if not then wondering why not?Keep up the great work!!!

[@SXSBlog]

The longer travel kit only increased the front travel by 2" but added lots of width. For what we do the extra width doesn't help.

[@bdhertz1]

Thanks for the quick response, that's impressive. The overwhelming majority of my intended use would be Glamis / Pismo dunes or high desert where the wider stance makes a huge difference here in California but makes sense if your main time is spent on tighter trails. Once again, thoroughly love the videos, something well worth looking forward to on the regular.

[@SXSBlog]

Thanks man! We're trying to keep them churning!

[@moparnoother]

Wow about $6k in suspension parts. Epic swag

[@SXSBlog]

Right? LSR rules lol

[@moparnoother]

You guys are awesome. I found your channel when I was wanting an x3 & it was about the time Nick got his. Sense then I got one after my own little road trip ( it was only 3 states away & a little over an hr) so no epic trip like the one you guys had. I did pick it up for an amazing price in the rain lol (still drove it). Thanks guy for the content, the like on the comment & the inspiration. Keep up the good work... 110 110 lol

[@burtonryderx]

90 deg zerks and delrin bushings not included.

[@zilliumjenkins7940]

Hey like your guys video's. Thanks. What are are you in Michigan and I'm thinking about an X3 turbo r. Thanks for the informative vids

[@SXSBlog]

We're near Bay City. Lots of trails opened up this year so it would be an awesome time to rip!

[@ohnonotthatguy1465]

Aren’t you worried about replacing those “engineered arms” and bending your frame? Lmao exact arms I’m looking at to save the low speed roll over after glancing at a rock n bending those arms and the frame. Nice work guys. Still love the clips.

[@SXSBlog]

We added gussets to help with that! Hopefully we won't be needing a new frame soon lol

[@CombatWombat]

You said you had a gusset kit that didnt work. What brand and why did it not work?

[@SXSBlog]

Would rather not mention the company for their benefit. It was neither the gusset kits or LSRs fault. I think my front end took some damage.

[@CombatWombat]

SXSBlog.com 10-4 fellas. Rigs looking badass.

[@baddazzriderturner3321]

WOW,nuff said

[@marksullivan3811]

wow just wow

[@SXSBlog]

Right?! hahaha

[@hasley84]

What do you use for video editing Nick?

[@SXSBlog]

Sony Vegas. Might move to Premiere at some point though.

[@tahoe9813]

Very cool video. What did you use to get the motion for the time lapse?

[@SXSBlog]

Nick did some editing wizardry on the computer machine to make that happen

[@jonathanquinonez4989]

Those arms will fit a 4 door?

[@122276mjs]

Lonestar stuff is great but what benefit are these over stock other than maybe a little stronger? The X3 trailing arms are pretty beefy as stock.

[@Hondarider35]

M Sears Garage the oem x3 front arms are trash. They fold up pretty easy. From the pictures I have seen on the x3 pages

[@122276mjs]

Doug Summers Even on the 72” wide units? I have an X RC and they look pretty strong, stronger than I’ve seen from any factory arms by other manufacturers. I know the 64” wide units use different arms

[@UncleNutt]

Any amount stronger counts when you are pushing your machine hard.

[@Hondarider35]

If you get the chance to buy aftermarket arms do it. If you push your machine they might bend.

[@SXSBlog]

X3 arms front and rear look beefy but are extremely thin and bend pretty easily. We've already gone through a few of them.

[@mattbeatty4426]

Where did you get the steering wheel and how much?

[@austinsears1637]

Hey, quick question. If you've installed a suspension kit etc Why weren't longer axles installed as well? Is it just me, or are the new Lonestar A-arms no longer in length than the O.E.M. A-arms!?!?

[@SXSBlog]

Hey Austin! This is a stock length kit so it doesn't require longer axles. They have a wide kit but it doesn't increase travel on the rear, only the front, and it adds lots of width. Awesome for desert racing, bad for trails. We're planning on keeping this as a badass trail rig so we wanted to keep stock width!

[@austinsears1637]

SXSBlog.com AwesomeSauce!!! So the point of this lonestar kit was to gain more ground clearance???

[@SXSBlog]

The biggest gain here is strength. This stuff is bombproof whereas the stock parts are no where close lol

[@austinsears1637]

SXSBlog.com Gotchya! Makes sense for sure! Lonestar products are super tough!
