When one of their customers, Mike, brought them a brand new 2019 Can-Am Maverick X3 X RS with the idea of building his dream UTV jumped in at the opportunity to create something indestructible.
The first thing UTV did was to strip the model and get started. They first focused on a new suspension kit. UTV Source knew that the HCR OEM Dualsport Suspension Kit was going to be the right choice for the giant they were going to build.
This new suspension kit was laser cut, bent, TIG welded, and powder coated right in the States. These were built from HCR’s proprietary Elite material that is 30% stronger than 4130 Chromoly. A lot sturdier than the usual thing.
Then started the bumper upgrades, with Geiser Chromoly Bulkhead. It not only strengthened the front suspension, but it also strengthened the overall chassis as a whole. So whenever there was a pressure on the front, it could be handled easily.
For shock absorbing UTV added, ZRP Billet Shock Tower Brace. This brace is tougher than a factory one and ensures that the shocks stay put under in any challenging situations. On top of the braces, the upgrade of Mike had new tires that were bigger and better.
The UTV decided to add the Method 401 bead locks and 33″ Kanati Terra Master tires. These tires are perfect for the new setup because they have two different tread patterns on the right and left sides of the tires. The tires provide enough scoop when riding through any plains, may it be sandy or rocky.
For lights, the team added KC HiLites Cyclones under the fenders, and in the cab, which would be helpful if Mike went trail riding at night. These upgrades made Trial Runner what it is, the beast of the terrain.
