Your very welcome David, I look forward to watching all your videos, they never cease to entertain . I have been watching all your content since 2018, your the reason why I went with a Can Am .Keep up the great work!

[@ostacruiser]

Heck ya! Thank you so much!

@@ostacruiser I’m gonna comment poach here but I recently ordered the osta winch rope and when I received it I was surprised to see some stickers in the package. And also I loved the fact that mrs osta personalized a message on the outside. I cut it out and it’s magnetized to my tool box. Thank you so much

Hey David, how did you run the back glass with the snorkels?

I would recommend putting anti-seize on the bolts so they don't rust in the aluminum.

The Defender 6x6 has always been my favorite. Not a speed demon but can do anything you may need to do.

[@ejwennberg]

Sweet rig, definitely gonna be one of the first things I buy after I win the lottery lol. I recommend putting a third tire in front of the two when you're dragging your trail and tie or bolt all three together.

[@codyhummel2366]

Glad to see a set of blackwaters on it. I love mine. Not great in skeg but really good in general use

[@StreetandTrail]

Them defenders are some fancy. Great choice on wheel and tire combo looks wicked !

I am running a can am defender 6 x 6 limited 2023 I have the side mirrors all 3 under seat boxes and fender flares.. I am running Hylifter 30" 14 ply tires I only have 300 hours on it for now I am hoping for around hours till I get my next one. it is a beast. Keep us updated on how yours is holding up. I use mine on a cattle farm in SWMO . It is my daily driver

Very nice machine. I looked at one but realized storage room was an issue. Ended up buying a hd9 dos cab . Just fits in my garage with my wife’s car. Lol. I am very happy with my hd9. Definitely a huge step up form the OG commander .

Great vid, love your positive energy 🤘🏻. Love the tire drag tip, going to try this today with my 2021 Defender Limited 🙌🏻. Keep the tips coming…👍🏻

[@OffRoadTheWorld]

👌👌 osta got that beadlock mounting technique down to a science🙌 100% an inch pound wrench, or an idea what your doing, cause it is easy to over tighten them bugers.

[@AdrenalineRushMX]

i got the same torque wrench

[@alexmclachlan1896]

Nice new unit Dave! Now I want one just like it lol

[@slickmuck4312]

Nice one OSTA If you bolt the 2 tires together where they touch. You won’t get as much of a windrow of snow left behind. Or add a third tire in front. It acts as a V plow. Making pulling it much easier as it’s not loaded with snow. I used to pull them behind a skidder in the oilfield when opening up new roads. Works awesome CHEERS FROM MANITOBA

[@ostacruiser]

Thanks dude, definitely doing that

[@780Aleks-AB]

Yeah that blue is pretty slick looking! And I love my S3 A-arms on my Gade they are beefy and look good too.

[@iare19]

Since tires are shipped folded into each other I most times pump like 30PSI into them and let them sit for couple of days, then take the beadlock back off, reset the tire and put beadlock back on. Helps.

[@rcclassiccrawlers4368]

It looks saweet!! But I’m a little disappointed that it doesn’t have that power tip out windshield. But I guess that will have to do.

[@Castle_Motorsports]

Beauty machine , just needs backcountry's !!!!

[@ostacruiser]

Agreed! Lol

[@just-in-time6069]

Take and bolt them together 4 bolt atleast in square to help with the middle and shave of some lower lugs to give smooth edge or throw old car hood with good sloped front under the we use to do this with snowmobile for sleeping in the fields when we were young made so cool tracks .

Heck ya buddy!!

[@andrewupsidedown]

If you have one more tire do 3 in a triangle formation even a smaller tire in the front will knock down that windrow and give you a Lil more room on each side 😉

[@damianryan5]

A third tire in the front of the drag would make it a lot easier to pull and wouldn’t leave the ridge of snow in the middle. Acts like a V plow then

I'm curious as to what can am has up its sleeve for the defender platform. The chasis has been largely unchanged since 2016. I'm hoping for a power bump. Love my X3 and my defender tho! Great videos keep up the good work.

[@jonl2938]

The blue looks great. I keep thinking it’s time to swap by Outlander Max for an Outlander 6x6 as I seem to do a lot more work with it than play these days!

What clutch kit are u using? Have a 22 limited 6x6 and got 32 cryptid

[@jimhill5472]

I just got a new 2023 Defender 6x6 limited also a couple months ago based alot on your "deep six" videos.. Very cool rig for sure. Kinda bummed that the 2024's now get the smart front dif instead of the visco lock. I guess with having 100% 4 wheel drive in back makes the visco lock ok. I stayed with stock 30" tires/wheels for dirt trails but bought a full set of SS360 sand/snow tires for dunes on bronze System 3 beadlock wheels. Cool rig!!!

[@ostacruiser]

Awesome!! Congrats!

[@downbytheriver501]

Had nothing but problems with my visco lok on my 6x6. I basically gave up after it became completely ineffective after only 1000 miles or so. Now I have what’s essentially a Detroit style mechanical locker in the front. So far I’ve broken two CV axles (mickeys hot tub was not nice to me) and a day after repairing, I have clicking again. Not a fan of either so I’m guessing/hoping the smart lok is at least better than both these options. It only cost me about 3000$ to realize this. Yay!

[@jimhill5472]

ouch....expensive repair. Thinking of buying Can Am extended warranty@@downbytheriver501

[@DrDanTDC]

Beautiful build! Couple questions, what level of tint did you use on the windows, and did you need a clutch upgrade with the 32” tires?

I don't have any clutching yet but want to throw in a full stm setup, the tint is 5% on rear and 20 on the sides

I want to build a 6x6 recovery/chase vehicle for my riding group here in the mid-Atlantic area of the US, but I'm hesitant because I'm wondering if the Defender suspension can handle aggressive driving or if it's best left to 25 mph and lower speeds on bumpy, rutted and rocky trails. Any thoughts Osta?
