2018 can-am prerunner build

[FarmerMike]

So bought this thing used back in December it had raced the NORRA 500 in 2019. Car had a pretty good amount of aftermarket parts and upgrades for UTVs.

Exterior
Factory UTV full skid
King shocks front and rear
Method race wheels
32” Tensors

Interior
Everything PCI offers
Kenwood race radio
PCI Bluetooth intercom
PCI fresh air system
Lowrance 7” HDS gps
Pyrotectunder seat 10 gallon fuel cell


The plan for it was just another cheap prerunner for races and Mexico fun and had a fair amount of good parts on it and got it at a good deal. Firs thing I did was swap out the tensor for some 32” BFG km3. Then just run and see how I like the short wheelbase car.

So after prerunning the hammers course a few times in this thing I did not like (feel safe) in the factory cage so ordered a basic one that I can build off of to how I want it, started unbolting the plastics and took the doors off to get set to install a new cage and full metal doors.

So I spoke to a guy today at Qualtiy auto in Hemet, ca

I guess he builds up UTV's for more exploration type trips and said he had done a few trips from California to AZ.

They sounded really cool. Maybe you could hook up with him for a ride!

Finally had time to finish up cutting out the factory cage and got the new one bolted down along with some new doors.

It's pretty wild that they consider the factory cages safe for a car that can go 100mph

They are speed limited far below 100mph from factory.

It's the people that disable the speed limiter that are able to go 100+

I wouldn’t consider that factory cage safe at 50 mph, I will still be adding b-pillers support and also connecting the rear shocks mounts as well.

Picked up 12 new style bead grip wheels from the warehouse at method, I had amazing service from Wally to the guys at the warehouse to pick up, I was amazed how much stock they have their it was massive.

 

[theycallmeWALLY]

Thanks dude. Yeah we are doing pretty well on inventory. Got a bunch of tires too!

 

[FarmerMike]

Holy cow lots of wheels and tires in my life lately. Finally had time to mount them up, seems like it took all day but was only 4 hours to mount 12 of these wheels and tires and then 4 more for my truck.

Those new wheels look great! Better offset too?

 

[theycallmeWALLY]

Looking fancy! I think you'll be happy with the beadgrip... they're kind of a thing these days.

Yea for my 4 seater it will be, my 2 seater car it had the same offset but with the beadlocks wheels.
