My audio installer went one step further on the JL Audio roof. After we added the the extra speakers, they pulled down some of the other speakers and stuffed several bags of poly fill which really tightened up the sound quality. As for adding another amp, the installer saved me some money and just tied the back 4 speakers into the same amp in the roof. It dropped everything down to 2ohms and increased the efficiency and power. It sounds great. I added an old Stillwater Kicker powered Sub that I had setting around for now just to make sure I wasn’t going to have a bunch of vibration and residence from the bass before I go for a full out mounted sub. I does so well for my taste, I’ll probably strap it down and leave like it is till this self-contained unit craps out before I upgrade. Thanks for all the ideas. I also installed the Z-Broz shocks. Like them. Also, love my CamLocker box. It’s full!
Very nice build, just bought a new 2023 Defender Limited Max a month ago and you covered things that i wanna do as well. Very detailed video, thanks for taking the time to make it for the rest of us.
One the cleanest builds I have seen, I have a '23 Limited coming in a month, you covered lots of items I want to add. Thanks for taking the time to post.
Thanks for watching!
Same here! Super stoked to get ours
Hey Jaimie did your machine come yet? I’m still waiting for my 23 limited Lonestar
@@Milkweed81L It can in about a week ago, the dealer normally gets a notice when it crosses the border to US and then 3 days time but with this shipment it just showed up
Now to get you to deck one out for this 69 yr old woman….that loves to play!😎
That is one bad ass ride man. Well done well done.
Great information! I have one on order and learned more from you than my dealer. Probably cost me another $5k but great info.
When I was waiting on mine it was the items on my mind.. tried to save peeps some time to order right products.
That’s clean as eff!! I got me a 23’ Polaris XP 1000 ranch collection with all the bells and whistles ordered. It’s coming with LED’s heated seats and ac with a touch screen operation, gun mount etc… God Bless America 🇺🇸
I've been looking at SxS for a while now. Was leaning towards a more performance-oriented machine like a TERYX, Talon or RMAX but while looking through your RAM Truck content, I saw this post - and your Defender LoneStar just stopped me in my tracks. It reminds me of a mini-Jeep Renegade! Very nice! I got to thinking about where I'm going to be riding (building retirement home in NW Arkansas after living in Dallas Tx for the last 36 years) and this rig fits the terrain up here. Not a lot of high-speed stuff up here at all. Mostly tight trails and logging roads. I like to get my wife out with me and having climate control would be a plus to get more trail time. Thanks so much for sharing this with the community!
Thanks for watching! I have a special needs daughter that has cerebral palsy and epilepsy. She can’t be exposed to extreme temps for very long at all. The cab is amazing. It allows us to do more and go to more events. We went to a outdoor event tractor pull last week and took the canam. It is so quiet idling with ac on most didn’t even know it was running. It definitely has its pros and cons. We rv with toy hauler a lot and a lot of places don’t allow utv. Those places we take the wife’s jeep or the golf cart. The ac and heat works really well. Glad the video helped!
Nice unit Rocky. Really cool upgrades.
You did an amazing job with that. I would love to have one like that, love your videos!
Thanks!
Thanks for the info about your doors sealing. Mine did the same thing and I wasn’t sure how to repair it.
Still not perfect but better
I've wanted one of these things soo badly and the wheel and tire setup is amazing and not to tall.
They are nice generators..
Beautiful ride. You did a great job.
Very nice build and video. I recommend it to anyone needing ideas.
Thanks!
Nice video! Have a new can unit and it was leaking like crazy going to adjust and hopefully they tightens things up.
I’m pretty sure I saw you at Splashway for new years weekend. Sweet ride!
Yes it was me.. We love Splashway prob stay every other month…
sweet looking defender!!!
Amazing that’s how I want mine now
Beautiful machine, I was really expecting to see a force turbo when you showed the back springs, lol, awesome job.
It was on my list.. hard not to order.. but I don’t like noisy..
@@RockyRohde no way you would ever hear the exhaust or the turbo with all that stereo you have, look forward to seeing what else you do to it.
I don't own one but I tint a lot of them and this one look really good all *Faded* out!
What size whips are those? 3 or 4ft? Awesome build by the way! 🇺🇲💪
Nice rig! Can you give us the XMR wheel flare part number you used?
Damn. Nicest Defender out there thats for sure!
Very thorough & detailed video! Where did you get your get your carpet lined tool box? Thank you!
Camlocker.com
Just got my 2023 Lone star today. I bought the tusk mounts for the light whips but it seems like the back window glass is too tight. does your glass touch the mounts? Did you run into that problem?
Excellent videos. Very informative. Just ordered mine today. How bad do your boggers turf up your yard? I’m ocd on my yard stripes in the summer. Just curious. Thanks
They don’t at all.. flat tread
Thank you great looking machine I appreciate the info.
Thanks for watching!!
where did you buy the new style mirrors? can't find them online anywhere
I just subscribed. Do you remember what screws you used when you attached your Ram mount. I’m trying to use the existing hole that is there like you did. Thanks for your help. Loving your channel.
I used the small bolts that came with
I guess I’m making this harder than it should be. How did you get the nuts on the backside of the bolts with such a small access area? There is a circular hole on the side but not large enough to put the nuts on the back of the bolts. Did you widen that to get access or did you just use bolts that were self tapping with no nuts on the back?
Wooow performance is really perfect, subscribes done bro
Thanks!
Beautiful rig. I ordered the hd9 dps cab model. Heat and enclosed was my main priority . I have been looking for a few upgrades . It seems like accessories available for these machines are Only limited to your wallet. Lol
Hi sorry if I missed it but what brand of rear 1.5” wheels spacers did you opt for, I didn’t see it in the description. Thank you
also will that plate work for the winch with synthetic rope in its original location? I have a 23 limited max defender ordered. Appreciate your help.
Do you have the part numbers for the Beam Tech headlight upgrade and the Rough Country Curved Black series? thank you
Nice unit, I got the same plate of my Ranger
I just picked up mine yesterday. I need them wheels!!!!!
Fuel Reaction 20’s
@@RockyRohde thank you sir!
Nice job! Mine has door gaps also. Did you just move latch that's on the frame? Also I have weather stripping coming loose from the rear door window seals whenever the windows are rolled up/down. Do yours do this?
I tightened the latches up
Yes. You too can spend a ton of money on the 2022 CanAm LoneStar -- only to learn, upon receiving the rig, that CanAmopted to eliminate locking doors. Within my family, we purchased four Defender Max units. Three came with locking doors. The last, and most expensive, came without. How the hell does that make sense?
I purchased one as well - i am still upset about the lock change for that kind of money!!
@@dano4057 it’s absolutely moronic. Super expensive toy. “Let’s make it easy to rob, steal or vandalize” - during a time when crime is skyrocketing.
What kind of compression fitting did you use to attach the tool box.
This rig is awesome! Do you have a link for the sound deadening mat you put behind the back seat?
Don’t have a link but I used Noico from Amazon
Can you provide more details how you wired the radio and speakers and how they were wired from factory?
How did you get the JL top to shift colors on the speakers? And very nice build Great Job !!
It’s stock.. does it from the factory
Hey Rocky, Ordered my 2022.5 and it'll be here soon. Been trying to find the side view mirrors and the guy's at my CanAm dealership are clueless, could you please provide a part number to reference. If you didn't have so much great stuff on your Buggy we wouldn't bother you!! Thank you Sir! G-man
715008100
How did you get the sound system to stay on with key off? Also I like your whip lights where did you order them from & are they easy to wire in. Bad ass machine
I ran a fused power 10 gauge wire from winch under hood up the driver side piller. Whips are 5150 whips.. they are nice!
Could you give me the model numbers for the Ram charger and mount? Not having much luck with their website. Thank you!
Awesome rig. Loving your channel. Lots of good info. Where did you get your compression fittings to mount your box in the bed? Thanks
Thanks for watching.. Amazon link below
Can Am LinQ Anchor Mounting Kit -... www.amazon.com/dp/B09G6F6P1Q?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
That’s what you have holding box in the bed? @@RockyRohde
Yes
Hey nice build which Noico did you use
Hey Rocky. We have the same model as you and are doing alot of the same things. I'm curious about the attachment of the CamLocker box. I've searched compression fittings and couldn't figure out what that was. Do you have a link to these or a picture so I can buy them. I saw the box doesn't come with mounting hardware so I want to make sure we get everything we need when we order it.
Also, for your fender flares did you need to cut anything on them or were they an easy install? I see yours don't go all the way down to the rock slides toward the back of the cab so Im confused on which fender flares you have. They don't look like the Sport ones on Canams site but the back doesn't look like the regular OEM ones either.
I think I found those on Amazon… I can’t find the link but I will keep looking
Awesome machine and accessories! I’ve never owned a SxS but researching & interested in CanAm for my 15 acres. What is your occupation?
Was there a certain fender flare that fit with the stock skid plate for the rear bottom flares or did you cut them to fit around the skid plate?
Do you have the link for the led headlight bulbs? And cellphone holder?
Do you know exactly what mirrors you have? I have the exact same machine and I bought some but they only fit the 2021 and less. The parts guy is telling me they don't make them yet but you obviously have some!
Looks great, do you have a part number for the light bar brackets?
Rough Country # 71005
Could you possibly tell me how the light bars are wired? As in how the wire is ran and to where?
Dude ,very well done , i am currently on the list for the 23. any chance you have a list of upgrades ? I am "That Guy " as well .High end High quality .Thanks
Awesome Defender!!! How were you able to run the wires with the HVAC system on the way? Im trying to run some rear bumper lights but I cant get them to the dash to have a rocket switch because the Hvac in on way. Any idea? Thanks
The unit has pass through wires from switch rocker panel to fuse box under the hood. I believe I ran my backup light wires through the tray in the center of the floor.
I'm on a wait list for a 2023 model. Confused on the last part of your video dealing with what you installed in the back of rear seat. Did you use two difference materials, one for heat and one for soundproofing or one that does both. Can you provide the name/part number of what you used? Thanks in advance.
Yes it was two products off Amazon.. I would recommend killmat or noico. I think I used noico on both. One was sound deadening and the other was thermal..
Cv Axle was the word u was looking for if u pointed at that bar
thats a hole lotta money in 1 video
Did the back windshield have to be removed for tint installation? If so, is there an automotive type seal that needs to be replaced?
Thanks!
It comes out with three clips.. it’s made to remove and reinstall
If you would have just went with 32" tires, do you think you'd still needed the clutch update?
Which ram mount did you get, id love to mount mine the same but dont want to order the wrong one.
Good morning,
If you can, can you please post a list of all of the parts and the part numbers that you have installed with this video? I have this same unit on order right now. It won’t be delivered until December or January from Can-Am because of the supply issues that we are experiencing. In the meantime I’m doing my research on accessories that I like to personalize my unit like you have. If you have any other pointers, can you please share those as well? Thank you for your time, Mark Davis Sr.
I added a list to video description
Badass rig man! I’m just right down the road from you in Blessing. How did you hardwire the halo’s to a rocker switch? I already ordered the Corbin harness.
Harness was a Corbin accessory. I just wired it up to the rocker with + power. I used the wires that run through firewall. Added a fuseable link under hood from winch power and used another wire to push power back out to harness.
@@RockyRohde easy enough! Thanks for the reply! I haven’t gotten my Lonestar in yet. Just ordering all the accessories for it while I wait.
I have the same unit. Nice rig. Who makes the matching rocker switches you added for halos, reverse lights, etc? Thanks
I found them on eBay
Well Rocky I’m shocked! Great video / nice 😎 Build
But all these Q ? S just listen to The video 🤪 your being a great sport answering some of these Clowns 🤡 and I applaud you for not answering how much it cost.
If they have to ask cost ? Really 🥴
Yes this has shown me why I won’t be posting mine.
Some of these people ? God help them if there’s something serious going on in there world 🤦🏻
Who held there hand last week. Sorry just blown away
Thanks 👍
Beautiful Machine
Thanks!
Do you have a part number for the 3 potion light bar switch? I can’t seem to find one!
Great build, looks great!
Had it made from the switch guy on eBay.. do search for canam switches.. message him and he will build it.. I think it was like 25 bucks. You can also use two different switches
@@RockyRohde thanks I really appreciate that!
Hey man would you have the tusk SKU for the whips holders
Hey Rocky! Great vid. Great build! I've been on the phone with Rough Country trying to figure out the curved light bar and mount. They are indicating that they only offer the mount for the flat bar and that some are bending the months to fit but it's challenging the integrity of the mount and they've had some mounts reported broken. Thoughts? Did you bend the mounths to have to fit the curved? Is it the 50"?
Jason
I have the curved 50” black series.. I used the straight brackets
Are you positive? It looks like the 54 inch.@@RockyRohde
Did you ask dealer to move your winch to your bumper ? I Wonder if the winch plate at the bottom bolts right to bumper plate. Then should just have to buy fair lead. Thanks.
Yes it bolts right up.. I ordered xmr mount and bolts.
Having trouble finding that triangle mount for the phone holder. Can you share a link or part number?
What style plugs are the LED headlights?
If you don't mind me asking, where did you happen to get your Pedal Commander for your 2022 Lonestar as Pedal Commander's website only advises it fits a 2020. Is that just a typo? Thanks so much for your help.
Just got it from pedal commander site.. it works on 22
Is your 50” light bar curved?Rough Country only shows a straight. Part# 71007, videos are very informative. Thank you for your time!
That's correct you have to call RC and convince them it fits the Curve 50" on the HD 10 Max.
I just got my 23 limited 6x6 got in painted black as they only come in blue
Very very nice build! What size rough country light bar?
50” curved black series
Thank you! Called them and they knew. I appreciate you responding.
Hey Rock, Got my machine, door seals suck on the new door. Dealership just scratch their head on how to get to seal. At least yours look straight. Question; What exhaust extension are you running and where did you purchase! Its the little things. Thank you Sir! G
Evo exhaust tip. They have one that fits oem exhaust
Where did you get the front light bar switch inside that matches the other stock toggle switches?
Found them on eBay.. do a search for canam switches. The guy can build what you want.
I want 2 door for 2020 can am defender but can find any doors like urs with power windows
Have you had any issues with the mirror breaking?
sweet rig
Do the springs give you 2" lift? then no lift from the arms just 2'' forward? so I could get the arms and use the bracket lift? for the same result.
About 1.5” with s3 on a cab model.. the bracket lift may be an issue with aftermarket arms..
Did your Ram Mount come with screws? I bought all the same you did and didn’t get screws.
Did you do a video on the sound proofing you did behind the back seats? I would like to do that to my next one.
I should have but didn’t.. it’s not to bad just a little time consuming..
@@RockyRohde Please do lol
Real nice my friend
Very Nice. Exactly how much lift is under it? I wasn't sure if the Springs were lift springs or not. Also, the A-arms are forward 2+ arms? The reason I ask, I have a 23 Defender Max Long Star Max Cab coming in a couple weeks and would like to run the same Tires or maybe 33" Boggers and would like to get it all coming. I believe the 23 models have Different A-Arms on them with 30" tires factory so not sure how much lift it would take if any. Thanks, I enjoy your Videos
With 33 and forward a arms you will be fine. I only added s3 springs to mine to clear 35’s. I recommend the super atv or s3 arms as they are 2” and you can use factory sway bar if you want.
@@RockyRohde I went with the 35s as well because the 33s were out of stock. The s3 springs are not lift springs Correct? Just HD to regain/prevent sag? Is a Clutch kit necessary or just better for just cruising around and maybe light trails? No mud or hardcore trails in my future.
So I received my light bar and the mounts I got are different from yours and won’t work. Where did you find those ones.
Do you happen to have the part numbers for the XMR OEM fender flares and hardware?
I don’t but looked them up on partzilla
I know this is older video but was wondering how wide is light bar, and did you have to change steering arms with big tires
50” black series curved rough country.. I did change to super atv steering arms for my preference.. stocks are thin….
It's my dream to have this
Nice Ride! Just purchased a 2022 Max and having a hard time finding bolt on side mirrors for the full doors. What mirrors do you have?
Canam new style
I got mine from Can-am france
Go ahead and buy you aftermarket fuel pump when you buy a defender. I’ve ad two a19 and a21 both fuel pumps went bad 19 at 80 hours 21 at 110 hours.
For your cell pone mount, did you mean the Diamond Base, not the triangle mount? I went to RAM web site and couldn't find anything named triangle mount. Can you provide more details on the base and arm? How did you bolt the base to the column? Did you use some type of compression bolt (if so what type) or were you able to use a nut from other side of column?
I was able to get the info on cell phone mount directly from RAM. Arm and base are RAM Double Socket Arm with Diamond Plate - B Size Medium (part #RAM-B-103-238U). But I have a larger Motorola Edge 5G phone so I need a different holder: RAM Quick-Grip XL Phone Holder with Ball (part #RAM-HOL-PD4-238AU). But I'm still confused about attaching the base to the column. Another viewer asked how you did it and you stated using the hardware that came from RAM. But how were you able to use nuts inside the column???? RAM stated I'll have to get hardware from a third party for installation but didn't say what hardware.
I am about to use the Diamond plate mount, the double socket switvel arm and find a mount for my iphone, I would assume he used some sort of a nut sert/riv nut to mount to the column. have you mounted yours?@@brucemezei1129
How much did it cost for your whole setup out of qushtion
How does it do with the 35's with no portals? I have Jakes arms/ S3 springs on mine with 35's and it is bogged down pretty bad. Already broke a reverse chain.
I have another video on my channel. I did 20% trans reduction from super atv
Light bar brackets- where did you get them? Did you sell your camo xmr?
Rough country brackets.. yes I sold xmr
Where did you find the amber can am switches? I’m having a hard time finding the matching can am amber backlit switches
Search eBay for canam switches. The guy can build whatever you want.
Hi, Could you help us review an OBDII scanner for pickup.
Send info to Rocky.Rohde@yahoo.com
Nice toy! But never saw something that clean! Is it for asphalt riding?
It gets dirty also…
If you ever decide to sell the way it’s setup, please let me know . Asking for a soon to be retired military price stationed in GA. Been watching your videos for awhile and have always loved this unit the most !
