That sound it made when he moved it sounded like mine. I tighten the nuts and bolts on the top frame and the noise stopped. Also Keep it greased. 👍🏻
Looks really good, thank you for sharing! I ordered mine back early March, I just got the call yesterday that it’s in. I told them while assembling to put me a 2 inch lift on. I’m going with the 33”s as well. If you don’t mind checking what’s the height from ground to top of the roof. Don’t want to make a mistake and it not fit in the garage. Thanks!
Glad you liked it. My roof is 6'11". It won't fit in my garage. Thanks for watching!
That thing is TALL! It looks goooood
Glad you showed up to help. Thank you!
Awesome video, I have the same machine and love it! Would love to see a oil change/service video one day. Nice tires and wheels!!
I will be publishing a video on how to change the drive shaft within the hour. Thanks for watching.
Very good info seeing how I’m going this Wednesday to trade in my Ranger crew in on a defender max limited
You'll love it!
Good job, as usual!
Thanks!
hardly any videos of the max xmr on yt... im getting one soon, and ive watched all of your vids on the xmr like 5x lol...
Great video coupled with the other video of you putting the 32s on it. I got the Max HD9 ordered should be in any day. I got the bracket spacers and I also ordered the 3 inch spring lift as well. I didnt think about rear spacers. I might need to look into that. Thanks for the great vid!
Thanks!!
Thank you for the video. I’ll be doing the same set up on my XMR. Did you say that you recommend 2” spacers for the rear?
I dont think 2" would be too much. I'm gonna stay with the 1.5 though.
Love the videos
Thank you!
Hey I have a 21 XMR just like yours. I even bought the same wheels in the black color. My question is do you have to get a new set of lug nuts? Or did the stock ones work with the new wheels? Thanks!
I ordered lug nuts with the wheels.
i'm 4'9 wish i was taller noooo
thanks for another awesome video making me feel like a tomboy hehehe

Glad u like it!
I just bought these for mine, but only the rear to get rid of that gay little squat when the coolers full!
Hahaha
That’s good shit, exactly what I did 1 1/2” spacers pretty much evened the stance from front to rear then 2” lift bracket(rear only) what a difference in appearance!
My buddy has one and we’re thinking of putting 34’s what kind 2 inch lift is it? Bracket lift? Or pugs lift?
It's a bracket lift. I have a link in the description.
@@EverydayMan awsome preciate it
How is the ride with the higher center of gravity? What kind of terrain do you ride on those tires? How have they held up over the past year?
Sorry a little late to viewing and commenting. Just found your channel as I got a new Defender Max the other week and looking for "necessary" mods that my wife won't complain about me getting :)
It's not bad, I've had it in Moab Utah and it did awsome. I hunt in Mississippi and it does good in mud and sandy creeks.
Thing looks good! I got the 3 seater! Do you ever get any rub from the wheels in bumps and Holes after the lift? Already have the lift and want to get the biggest tire I can but don’t want any rubbing
Mine will rub if the steering wheel is about half way and I go over a large bump. Other than that no problem. I took it down some serious trails in Moab and didn't notice any rubbing. Had it flexed out a lot!
So before i order arched a-arms for my 22 xmr... is the shocks adjusted all the way out to highest setting or in the lowest factory setting. Im wanting 33s and was also concerned of axle angle after prior experiences with bracket lifts.
I haven't adjust my shocks. The rear axles have been replaced once.
Any chance you could post some before and after photos for height comparison from stock to now on your Facebook or IG? Love the look but I think I’m going to do 32’s to try and stay away from any rubbing at all and full flex and lock.
Yeah, ill put some on Facebook EverydayMan in a little while.
I have a question about the wheel spacers. Were the spacers needed in the rear because of the lift or because of the wheels/tires? I am buying 32" tires for the stock wheels and was wondering if I will need the spacers as well with a 3" lift?
I needed them because the new wheels all had the same backspacing. You should be good with the factory wheels.
@@EverydayMan Thank you!
Forward a arms
Maybe I will do that in the future.
What offset are those rims? Thanks
I am not sure. I ordered the rims and tires together and didn't have to specify an offset. This is what was sent.
I'm wondering what the With is ? I think those rims are 4+3 ? Wondering because of my trailer. Thanks. Your buggy looks great 👍
@@mikesmith-ov8rr that sounds right. They are 15 x 7.
Do you have forward arms or is yours stock?
Stock
Do you have Forward front A arms or stock?
Stock
what rim offset did you go with? 4+3 or 5+2?
If I remember correctly they are the 4+3. To be honest when I bought them I didn't specify. I put my vehicle in the web site and got what they sent me.
@@EverydayMan thanks for the reply imappreciate the response and your channel
