Oh man,thats why first thing i did out of showroom was a ct raceworx gusset kit,on front and back. It will take all that impacts out from the frame and spread it over the boxed gusset
Jesse & Shari, y’all are just an awesome couple!! So cool how you work & play together as a family!! I’m blessed that way also. Great work on Scott’s car👍🏻
It’s awesome seeing our Women diving in and throwing parts on these things. I get my Wife involved as well. Best way to learn in just get in there and get dirty. Very fun hobby, expensive at times, but just too fun!!!
I like the mechanical stuff along with the trail riding. Ya'll do a great job. And I've had my machines/vehicles in the shop before. I'd say what Innovations you have to make up to get the job done is better in my opinion than the so called "pro's" versions. Maybe it's the heart and drive put unto it? Who knows? You guys know what you're doing anyway. Another great video.
Shock tower was perfectly fine. And the gusset kit wouldn’t have stopped the frame from getting tweaked. The a arm folded and pushed against the frame causing it to bend. So if he had a gusset kit it would have bent the frame and the gusset kit. I’m sure it adds strength but I don’t think it’s necessary. At least not in this case.
We will check into that. We get really good prices from our local dealer that sometimes it pays to buy new rather than used or rebuilt. Do you know anyone I could reach out to for a price?
I honestly don’t think that’s necessary. Sheri and I have over 10,000 miles of extremely hard rock crawling, Scott has over 5500 miles on his and not one of us has had a need for a gusset kit. I just switched from stock 64” a arms over to ct arms a few months ago. Still running the plastic shock tower brace as well. If your dunes jumping I’d see a need for it. East coast I don’t.
A gusset kit wouldn’t have helped in this situation and between the 3 of us we have over 25000 hard miles with no issues. The a arm folding back is what bent the frame so it would have bent the frame and the gusset kit.
We won’t run a gusset kit because it’s a pain in the but to work on anything up front, it makes swapping a diff or a arms a 1-2 hour job rather than 20-30 mins. If you go stronger with a arms then the weak point becomes the frame. If he had stronger a arms they wouldn’t have folded and in turn made the frame the weak link, which we definitely don’t want. Stock a arms are cheap and easy to replace if something would go wrong.
@@ramonruybal9808 ya, kind of the same here. Between myself, my wife and Scott we have a little over 21,000 trail miles in 3 years and this is the first time we messed up an a arm or anything like that. I’m still on stock a arms too. 64” DS model. Fingers crossed and knock on wood haha.
@@TheCanAmCrew exactly right! Id rather wrench on a new stock a arm than yard sale the machine with a bent frame...all you do is transfer the force to the next weakest point..the frame. I dont race so no need for super tough a arms..
Thank you Jesse and Sheri for all your help !!!!!
Scott, get a can of Kubota orange spray paint. It's almost a perfect match for touch-ups.

Thank you. We appreciate that. 🤘🏻
We seen your ride at Joe's camp. The passenger side looked good. Seen that driver side and said ouch. Glad y'all ok.
Perfect shirt Jesse🤣. Would have been even better if you were wearing it when Scott rolled. Glad Scott & his daughter were alright.
🤣🤣

I can’t believe this thing was put back together without a shock tower brace and gusset kit

So if he had a gusset kit it would have bent the frame and the gusset kit. I’m sure it adds strength but I don’t think it’s necessary. At least not in this case.
Looks like the machine held up well. No major frame damage that would "total" the machine. Great video guys!
Ya. We were pleasantly surprised haha.
Looks great guys, love to see Scott's machine almost ready to rock and not roll. Greetings from Lancaster county Pa.
👊🏻👊🏻😆
Very well done guys. Love the innovation.
🤘🏻🤙🏻
Have that old shock rebuilt it can be done! And next time he takes it apart I’d look at a gusset kit for that front end
We will check into that. We get really good prices from our local dealer that sometimes it pays to buy new rather than used or rebuilt. Do you know anyone I could reach out to for a price?
@@TheCanAmCrew I’d probably check with mountain made off-road first Eric can help you out! Also (MTS off-road) and (GForce racing)
@@daltonbaker6371 thank you
I have a passenger cage bar in Mo if you will be through here any time? I also have a full factory cage if you are interested.
Thank you, we appreciate the offer. We will be building him a full cage soon.
When buying a can am X3. First upgrade the bulkhead gusset, lower and upper A Arms and shock tower brace...

Rock crawling at 5 mph. 😂. I agree. But we ride hard and fast out here in Vegas..
Dang Scott, get yourself a foam mat for the floor
😆😆
What's a ball park parts cost for all you replaced ?
The shock was the most expensive. The shock is 1100.00. A arms 200.00 each. Tie rod 150.00. Axle 200.00. Some labor to fix the frame free haha.
Why not add a gusset kit right away?
A gusset kit wouldn’t have helped in this situation and between the 3 of us we have over 25000 hard miles with no issues. The a arm folding back is what bent the frame so it would have bent the frame and the gusset kit.
Are you riding on the Holiday weekend?
Yes we are.
@@TheCanAmCrew Awesome. My buddy just got his nee KRX so we will be out on HMT and some outlaws. Safe travels this weekend
What kind of toy hauler did Scott have again?
It’s a forest river Wolfpack.
@@TheCanAmCrew I thought I seen one in one of your videos where it was a pull type and the machine was outside the camper on the back?
@@dustieolson7513 ya, that was probably our friend corey. He has a camper called an overnighter.
@@TheCanAmCrew yep that’s it thank you
Y wouldn't you go with gusset kit and better lower aarms ,while ur in that far

Thanks for response, I havnt ran 1 yet ,only lost 1 aarm (lowr) over 3k on machine

@@TheCanAmCrew I put a gusset kit on mine first thing. I never thought of it like you did. It makes perfect sense.
