Just purchased a Can Am defender xmr, your videos are very helpful thank you!
Thanks for the video. I'm looking at similar machines from the same dealer.
I'm curious, are you able to get at the accessory buss bar behind the heater? It looks like it covers up the storage there.
Do you have a part number for that heater can’t seem to find one like that thanks
Stock can am heater. It in their catalog
Hey man, I'm shopping around now and your machine is right up my alley. But, I'm wondering what you would or wouldn't do differently looking back at it now.
keith mcguigan knowing what’s I know now, if I did it again.... I would probably get a cab model with hard doors. Probably would have been cheaper. I added the heater, front and rear glass and soft doors. Was expensive. Otherwise I love the machine
pyrocrew13 Thanks for the reply man, I appreciate it. It's a beauty of a rig.
@@pyrocrew13 : I added soft doors and then turned around and replaced with hard doors. Very expensive doing that way. Get the hard doors if you live in cold climate.
Mine is my transportation around the ranch/farm of 30 acres and way to woods and creek bottom.
A disabled combat Vet. and older than dirt :- (
Victor. I had thought about the hard doors. Just can’t justify them. I’m in Wisconsin
@@pyrocrew13 : Same here, but then after a winter or two, decided, I was getting them to be able to see better and be able to roll down glass in summer. I have never regretted it . Same with front glass and wipers.
Very cool. I just picked up a new 2021 XT. Added the flip windshield and back panel first, doors are next. I'm looking forward to adding heat. Did you install the heat system yourself?
I had the dealer do it. It’s very involved. Took them 6 hours
This is a can am heater system? Do you know the model?
I dont remember. Its in their accessories book
Nice job where did you get the floor mats?
Those are the winter floor mats out of a GM acadia. I kept them when I traded the car in.
Just added the soft doors to my defender . Is the passenger side mirror usable with the soft doors?Just from the look of where it mounts it appears to be obstructed by the door material.
Braxton Wiggins they work. There is the metal frame behind to bolt to. Just pop 2 holes thru the material
pyrocrew13 I was referring to the visibility of the passenger mirror. At $99 each I was gonna skip the passenger side if it didn’t give a decent view.
Braxton Wiggins gives great view. Must have if plowing or backing up in the woods. 😉
is this heating system fully waterproof? can it be submerged and still function?
No idea. I wouldnt want to submerge it.
I am looking for video on how to tap into the radiator hose for heater . I can find the kit on Amazon.
If I was not disabled and 75, I know it would not be a big problem.
I have same heater in my 2016 Defender. Dealer installed around $1000, takes forever to blow warm/hot air. What's up? Please advise. Thanks
Michael Zellinger you need the radiator cover
@@pyrocrew13 Is that a stock part, where do I get one?
Yup. Dealer part.
@@pyrocrew13 Is this just a different radiator cap or does it physically cover the surface of the radiator? do you have a part number?
Just covers entire front of radiator. It’s in the catalog.
Does your windshield frost up in the winter without the heater?
I use the heater. I’m sure it would if I didn’t.
Hello, I like your mirrors on the doors and was wondering how they mounted to the doors? and what mirrors they are and if you would have the part number for them.
Thanks Jef
Jef Nelson they are the can am mirrors. They are in the parts catalog for the defender. Pricey though. $99 a piece.
@@pyrocrew13 , They are very nice when running on the road, especially if you have the mesh steel rack in back of rear window. A lot better than looking up at rear view mirror.
Victor. My full time back up camera is nice for that too. Doesn’t matter what’s covering the window. I have dual. Upper and lower cameras
@@pyrocrew13 , I was talking about running down country road and to see if some one is coming behind me. Backup lights would be nice when backing up in woods I imagine, to see trees behind me ? I wonder how much they cost and how hard to install ? I can not twist around to look out back window :- ( Like normal person can.
I added back up lights. Look through my videos. Super clean look, super bright, cheap and easy install
Nice looking machine. How much do you have in it?
Jesse Teick intry not to think about that! ALOT!
Where did you get the floor mats
They were the winter floor mats from my wife’s gmc. I kept them when I traded it in.
Great vid , how do you like those soft doors ??
Todd Ray I’m on the fence on the soft doors. I like them, but if the hard doors weren’t $3000 I would go with them. I like how easy it is to remove the soft doors and reinstall when needed, but this is my second set. First set was replaced by the dealer. Well, they paid 80% of a new set. If you get soft doors and plan to trailer at all....get the travel cover. I just invested in it. They do their job in the winter though.
I just want them to keep the wind of me and my little guy checking trail cams ... I just get a lot of mixed thoughts on them ... and really haven’t seen any other alternatives ... I really appreciate your videos ... you have bad a$$ buggy
Todd Ray the doors are great for that purpose. I don’t use them all summer. I just put them on around October when it gets colder. Takes a whole 5 minutes and that’s with swapping my mirrors over. My first set was damaged due to trailering. They don’t recommend trailering with them on, but where do you put them? I definitely want them on in snow to keep salt out of the cab area. The travel cover fixes that though and cheap insurance.
Thanks bud , I really appreciate the reply’s
for you little lights what kind and where did you wire them in.
How do the soft cab doors hold up? Do u wish u had the hard doors?
Chad BassMaster they hold up great! Hard doors are crazy expensive!! If I had the choice if someone said , “ here.... pick the ones you want for free”. I would go hard.
How hard was it to install??
Scott Bray has the dealer do it. Took them all day
Link for the doors?
Can am soft doors
@@pyrocrew13 i can't seem to find them
Weird. They are in their catalog. Can’t find mine
What tires/wheels are those?
Aaron Hesch wheels are Sedona I think. Dealer had them on. Tires are 28” carnivores
@@pyrocrew13 sweet, thank you!
