2022 Can Am Defender DPS HD10 Max Mods

[JoseyWales]

Guys & Gals,

I am a new Can Am owner and I want to do some mods. Has anyone tried the HF badlands winches on their Can Am? I cant see spending the $$$ on a Warn when I might use it like once a year. I would also like to do a speaker set up in my unit without breaking the bank. Also suggestions on front bumpers? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

there are quite a few people on facebook that use the badlands winches with decent luck.  

bumpers, lots of those around.  i like the one that came on my xt, it does what i need.  has plenty of holes in it for lights, etc. as well.  i have 2 pods in the middle of mine and plenty of room for other lights as well.

cant help on the radio

I run a marine Infinity radio and 6.5" speakers. Decent enough sound for plowing and out riding around. I don't need a thumping car or home stereo system. Spent $500 or so.

Bandlands will probably get you by just fine.

I run a Bison bumper on mine and like it.

Steelslinger how did you mount the speakers? Do you have yours all running to the same battery?

 

[Steelslinger]

Front ones are mounted in the upper plastic header panel. Rear ones are mounted using C-Werks (Jamie Connelly on here and Facebook) speaker panels. Uses the screw mounts in the OEM roof that the OEM system uses. Fits perfect with the headliner.

I don’t have a headliner. I installed a badlands winch with no luck. I believe the solenoid was bad as it got crazy hot. I returned that item and I will buy a direct install winch from Super Atv.
