2015 Can-Am Maverick Xds – #WWYD2AM Build
The Maverick Xds is an interesting platform for us here at UTVUnderground.com. Of course our natural instinct is to turn it into the ultimate dune machine, but that's too easy for us to do! Instead, we have opted to create the ultimate BUG OUT machine, you know, the machine you run too when the zombie apocalypse hits! You need something that can go anywhere and do it fast!
First order of business is to black the entire machine out! We want to blend with the night, plus all black just looks sinister and bad-ass. So we murdered out everything from the coils to the seats to the wheels! We left a trace of the Manta Green on the front headlight bezel.
SDR Motorsports took this project under their wing with us, developing a cage and roof rack along with opening doors. The roof rack is key in our design. It allows for storage and allows you to carry everything you need should you need to go a long way with just you and your machine. Of course everything is BLACK!
Wheels and tires are important and when the end of the world hits you have to be prepared with a set of shoes that are going to last, so we went BIG! We installed a set of the baddest wheels and tires money can buy, 15” OMF 3 piece NX-G2 wheels with a set of 30” BFGoodrich KM2 Mud-Terrain tires. We can run anywhere on these bad boys and never worry about breaking a wheel or tire! Mud, Dirt, Sand, Street, we can go everywhere!!
You can’t bug out and not have lights! We wanted enough lights that we could make our Maverick Xds look like a UFO at night! Our Bug Out machine is equipped with a bunch of insanely bright Vision-X LEDs that are sure to turn night into day! The list of lights is big, the biggest we have ever used on a build. We installed 1 - 39” EVO LED Bar on the roof. We have 6 – 2” Solo Pods all around our roof to light up our surroundings 360 degrees! 2 – 3.5” Optimus Pods for additional driving light. 6 Pro Pods in RED to give us a mean looking under-glow and 1 Billet Pod Dome Light in RED to make sure our interior is lit properly!
You can’t build a quality off-road machine and not have the best suspension! Now, don’t get us wrong, our factory set up is nice on the Maverick Xds, but we wanted to go a little bit further in the set up. While we maintained our factory FOX 2.5 Podium, RC2 shocks with Bottom-Out Control front and back, we did upgrade our arms to Madigan Motorsports new +3 kit designed specifically for the Xds! This kit gives us a wider stance and increased suspension travel allowing us to go faster over bigger bumps!
You can’t be traveling in an apocalypse and be uncomfortable and that's where the boys at Twisted Stitch came in. SDR installed a set of comfortable Twisted Stitch bucket seats with Twisted Stitch 5 point harnesses. Not only are these seats comfortable and safe, they also look insane with a custom black design.
To enhance our interior comfort we also added in a Can-Am / BRP complete audio system. This will keep us entertained on those long trips running from zombies!
To make sure we know where we are going we have installed the factory Can-Am / BRP Garmin Montana 650T GPS. This will allow us to always know where we are. We paired that with a handheld VHF/UHF/FM hand held radio so we can listen in and communicate to others outside of our machine!
We think this Maverick X ds is the ultimate off-road big out machine. Not only is it functional it looks great! The Turbo Rotax 1000 V-Twin has the power needed to go anywhere and combined with our accessories and modifications we think this is the ultimate Maverick Xds. So when you ask, What Would You Do 2 A Maverick? This is exactly what we would do, turn it into the ultimate BUG OUT machine and leave all our other toys behind!
