Good stuff there Mr. Miller! I have a plastic ammo box mounted on the back and bolted through to a couple of aftermarket LinQ receivers for tossing items in and keeping the weather out. The paint on these machines looks so nice I completely removed my front rack/platform. I've had my ATV for a year and a half now and have not needed the extra mounting for storage yet. (Maybe I'll need it when I try camping with my ATV.) I guess I'm a softy as I have my suspension set to the softest settings. ;-) I installed my Garmin Montana mount to the left side of the handlebars. I just cut some of the plastic from the hand wind deflector away. It's working quite well. I also like the factory hand wind deflector. I have a 2023 Outlander 850 XT Max, so the tandem seater version. I have yet to actually have an extra person ride with me, so keep the passenger seat in storage. What I get with the LWB version is a slightly better ride. And.....I've created mounts where the passenger puts their feet for Rotopax fuel containers. They are completely out of the way saving any hassle with other storage needs. Maybe an idea for a future non-trail ride video of yours; What you'll be keeping in your rear storage. Here's what I have: Lens Wipes Knife, Tie-Wraps Safety Wire, Side Cutter Small Trash Bags TP, small Hand Shovel Flash Light 1st Aid Kit LiPo Jumper Battery Duct Tape, two Rags Tire Patch Kit Small Air Compressor Thanks for putting in the effort on your videos!
Now with that synthetic rope did you have to cut off any? A few people said they needed to cut 10' off. Just curious as I just purchased a 2024 850 XTP😮
@@kbar6304 it definitely feels more solid. The main reason for install though is to prevent future issues. The plastic shift brackets are known for busting. I don't want that to happen to me in the middle of the woods.
Loved the video, thank you. I may try to meet y’all something to ride. I live central MS but have to travel to find good places to ride and want to try the Ozarks, just not far out by myself like that see some of the trials y’all wind up on.
Yeah man for sure. We typically keep the group small that way we can cover a lot more ground without a bunch of extra stops. But we are talking about doing a members only ride. We have a members only area where we release exclusive content like our ride tracks and waypoints if your interested.
How did you make that table? I don’t want to spend a fortune on a work table. Rather make it out of wood, but with how heavy these machines are hesitant to trust a DIY table with that weight!
Search "Jackass Sawhorse" and you will understand why these hold so much. Not a joke, google it. My buddy up in Missouri designed them and sells the plans to make your own. I have made 4 of them, pretty simple, but you definitely want his plans.
Question how long did it take to get your omc gasket order its almost 2 months and I cant get a hold of anyone called emailed and nothing but there quicker then s**t to take your money
Great question. It took them at least a month or two for mine as well! But as soon as I emailed them, I got an email right back and amazingly my item was shipped out and delivered like 3 days later! Shady company, really nice products. It's a shame.
@@bryans5334 That is messed up! As soon as I emailed them, they responded. Like within 10 minutes for me, and then instantly I got a tracking number and everything.
Hey bud, I've been meaning to ask you why you chose the 850 over the 1000? I'm hoping to get one this year or next. It's definitely hard not to just go and finance it right now. The struggle is real, ha! 😂 Thanks!
Man I feel your struggle!!! Really two main reasons for me. The 1000 is absolutely on another level of power. It's insane. With power, comes weight. We've measured the clearance. And 1000 sits significantly lower than the 850 in the front. So new suspension is really needed right out of the gate in my opinion. The other contributing Factor was price. I sealed the deal on my 850 for 3k less than any other 1000 I received a price on. I have zero regrets on the purchase.
WoW, okay that's good stuff. I appreciate your opinions and perspectives and experience. One more question 0 rush, I was wondering if the larger engines get hotter on the legs during long rides? Thanks again kind sir. Amazing video by the way. I was listening to your video on a JBL Surround sound. When you cranked up the Max, the sound is soO exciting!! I can't believe I never bought an ATV. I appreciate and enjoy how you explain everything on your upgrades. I'm looking forward to watching more of your content.
@@09applejacks awesome man!!! We love ATVs, been riding for years. It's just the funnest hobby, especially if you have a few buddies to ride with. The thrill of conquering a challenging trail keeps us coming back for more. Does the 1000 run hotter? We haven't noticed any difference in temperature. You are forced to run 91 octane in the 1000. But we put tuners on the 850s anyways which will require the higher octane so it's not a big deal for us. The tuner absolutely unleashes power on these machines it's unreal. The 850 is crazy fast. The 1000 is definitely faster, but not by much on the top end. Low end torque, it's got more than anything else I've ever ridden. It will stand straight up effortlessly even on loose gravel. It's just crazy.
Just sold my 2021 Outlander 1000R Max XTP. Overall I didn't like it. Yes, I liked the max setup with its long wheelbase but what I couldn't stand was the intense heat mostly coming off the right side as well as how uncomfortable it was to sit on. I am 6'4" and have the leg length where I should not be uncomfortable but due to how the engine sits in the chassis vs in other brands like Polaris and Yamaha. However, I found it caused fatigue and at times cramps in my legs and hips. Also, the 1000 engine is so big it fills up the engine bay making maintenance and cleanup even more of a pain. Access to everything under the skins or body panels required a major effort. I ended up with a 1000 as it was bought in August 2021. This was the middle of the pandemic and you bought what dealers had not what you wanted. I was after a 850 while in reality all I needed was a 650 which is what my son bought about a month after I bought mine - he has a Outlander 650 XT. We use them for trail riding and running around our property.
Very good video however one question how reliable is this brand and that model in particular. I had Yamahas and I had pretty good luck with them to be honest with you I think I spend total of $200 in 7 years and unusual repairs was only the fan bearing. You think I'll be happy with this and how many hours or miles do you expect this thing to last worry free
@@RK777PL thanks! Great question. We too have had great success with Yamaha ATVs, they are proven in the industry, in fact we still run a Kodiak 700 from time to time. The reason I went Can-Am is because of durability. Josh bought one in 2020 brand new. None of us knew anything about them. Here we are almost 3k miles of hardcore abuse later and he still hasn't had a single issue or problem. He has absolutely ABUSED that machine. For that reason, I went Can-Am. Matt went Can-Am back a few years ago and has had the same results, zero problems.
@@miillersoffroad Going to look at some '24 850 XTs at the dealership; Any suggestions for the sales point? CanAm is doing a "summer clearance" event at about $11K. Do they come with a factory warranty?
@@tericks2676 yes they will come with a 6 month warranty from the factory. I don't go for the extended warranty. It would have to be an engine failure or transmission failure to pay off and let's be honest, that's not going to happen unless you sink it or drive it off a cliff and that's what insurance is for. As far as actually purchasing the quad, I know they won't negotiate anymore. In 2020 they still would a little bit, but today you just get what you get. They're not going to come down. I will advise you, SHOP AROUND! Ask for an "out the door price". I don't know where your from but here in Arkansas, If I purchase an ATV out of state, I won't have to pay sales tax in that state for the ATV, but I will have to pay it once I get back to Arkansas, And there's no getting around that Even if you purchase it out right, The state knows. This particular ATV I purchased in antlers Oklahoma at antlers Motorsports and they were by far the cheapest of any dealership in a 500 mile radius around me. One dealer in Mississippi wanted over $3,000 more for the exact same machine.
@@miillersoffroad Yes Sir, looking around quick I just saved about $900 going with a BRP dealer that's even closer to home! The old bait-n-switch is quite alive in the BRPs !
How long did it take your seals to come in, I ordered a set through the link in your bio. I made the purchase on June the 3rd today is June 22nd and the website says 7 to 10 days shipping. I've tried contacting them through email and on facebook and havnt gotten a single response I've lost almost 100 bucks and no one has gotten back nor have I received any product.
Nice video, I would of replaced the one piece hand guard setup with the two piece it would give you room on the handle bar for accessories plus I think it looks way better, do you remember the name of the company that makes those gaskets and I wonder if they ship to Canada, thanks
We actually feel exactly the opposite. The stock hand guards are the ones we prefer and think look better. Not sure if they ship to Canada but the name of the company is outsidersmotocompany
What’s up man! Haven’t stumbled up on your channel til now. If you’re gonna chase LeeRzrrider around better stiffen those shocks all the way ! Lol I just did the break in service on my 1000R XT yesterday . Engine oil/filter , front and rear diff , transmission . Definitely more of a pain to do than all my previous ATVs I’ve owned. I replaced my winch cable with 1/4” 10000lb synthetic. 50ft at 1/4” is tight, I cut 10ft off and put shrink wrap on the end . Still had to drill the hole out bigger on the winch . Can am factory winches are known for the steel cable being junk and kinked from the lot . I love the 500 Outlander we have …it’s a better design than our Gen2 outlanders , much quieter drivetrain , more comfortable, sealed compressed bushings , muchhhhh easier maintenance! It’d be a home run for Can Am to convert the big bore twins to that design . The fit and finish on Can Am is garbage compared to my compared to my Grizzly KQ 750 or even the Brutes I had . That phone Mount is slick bud . Mine died in the yard the first few days I had it. Did some quick research and popped the cowling off and sure enough it blew the Fuel pump fuse . I’m at 250 miles now and it hasn’t blown it again but it makes me nervous way out from camp lol. I’ve only taken it to Moccasin Gap because we’re usually in the X3. I’m thinking about just getting a 4 gallon rotopax for it and strap it to the back rack. It’s such a MASSIVE gas hog I’m not sure that’s enough ! Lol Good video brother !
4 gallons would be way more than enough. We're averaging between 90-94 miles on a tank of 91 octane. The gas gauge typically shows empty at the 60 mile mark. 2 gallons of fuel gets us another 40 miles and that's hammering it. This is the case for the 850s and the 1000R, both are averaging the same fuel economy in our testing. My 24 model isn't tuned yet but I'm about to send it in now that my break in period is over. I just changed all my fluids as well. Thanks for tuning in man.
@@miillersoffroad Holy cow man ….I know the gauges aren’t super accurate but I’ve actually had my 1000R be at half on the gauge , from full, by 19-20 miles ! I know it’s adjusting to fast and I’m sure the last 2-3 bars last a long while but dang lol
@@joekearney wow! That's really bad off lol! We have tested extensively. Even when hot rodding all day long we have never gotten less than 89 miles on a tank. Every time between 55-60 miles though it will show empty.
@@miillersoffroad so it’s adjusting way ahead of actual burn off . 55-60 showing empty then going another 20-30 miles . I guess I need to carry fuel and just run it til it dies and see lol
@@joekearney that's what we do. Like I said, we've ran them empty and tested actual mileage a bunch of times. 2 gallon rotopax have been more than enough for us to get through a really long day.
@@Joebauers2505 I loathe steel cable and will literally never run it again. It is so easily kinked and when it breaks, look out. I think your the minority in this category my friend. Not sure why anybody uses steel cable 🤣🤣🤣
