looks great! What is the height from ground to top of rack? That would help me with a trailering question. Thanks!

The factory CanAm rack and tire carrier is da bomb. I only carry a gas jug up there, for now, but it coupled with the roll cage is stout af. Expensive stuff, but well designed and very impressive. I also have the CanAm cooler. All those items jell together great just as CanAm planned.

I modified the max rack for my 2018XMR turbo R when I purchased it new . I run a spare 32” spare tire and a couple of light cargo boxes for tire repair and belt change items .
Yes I’ve had it on it’s lid once… the factory sway bars especially the front ones had a hell of a lot more to do with my mistake that the rack itself . If your doing slow max articulation the added weight on top wouldn’t be good . For trail riding or desert get the rack and get the sway bars first . Shock therapy center holes work great for me . The storage options are limited wit the X3 . Just my take . Everyone has their own experience and opinions. Take care !

I'll have to measure but I think around 70-72" if I am not mistaken. (Will depend on tires and ride height set on your machine as well)

I had one and I took it off. It adds a lot of weight to the car and is pretty heavy even when unloaded. We camp/fish a lot and I thought I'd use it a lot more than I do but I really don't have a need for it 99% of the time. Anytime I'd need that much room for cargo and at the speeds carrying that much would dictate, I could find a way to tie something down to the top without using the heavy rack. Maybe if they made it out of aluminum and more low profile, I could live with it unloaded. Now with the price being much more that I paid in 2017, I definitely would not suggest one.

Two questions. Would you happen to have a picture of how you fasten things to the roof without the rack? I want to use it for carrying backpacks for hiking and fishing. Packs probably get to be around fifty pounds. Do you think the rack is needed for attaching this? (would be driving at lower speeds with all the extra weight on top)

Question two: you say if they made it out of Aluminum.... I was under the impression that it is made from Aluminum. What in the world is it made from??

Thanks!

You can check out our rack HERE. It will hold an aftermarket wheel up to 35" with something like roto packs. Ours has ez lift shocks so adding the extra weight of the toolbox and cooler with would negate the lift feature.

If you do decided to go this direction, you can use discount code MAVF2020 at checkout. Hope this was helpful!

I love this rear rack. But, DAMN it's expensive. I know, I know, if you're gonna play ya gotta pay.
