Have had a can am defender for over 3 years and it's the best buggy I've ever owned but the seats suck and my back issues are just getting worse.
I really like the seats in the Kawasaki teryx and the four seater isn't stretch limo long like some of the other brands but small cargo box and underpowered might not be good? Anyone here own a teryx? Likes dislikes?

Would it be cheaper to put a better suspension under the defender? Something that rides better like some elka stage 3’s? On a can am forum someone had put some maverick x3 seats in a defender. That might be another option.

I would put some better seats and/or suspension on your current defender. You know what you have and like it and who doesnt like adding mods

That would be pretty cool having those seats instead of the old bench. I did see some pics where a guy used 1" tubing to make a mount.
It's really too bad the commander is so outdated these days. Maybe a rear engine new commander without the cab heat and noise will come out in the future?

Those look comfy! I sure wish they made direct bolt ins for the defender.

are the Defender XMR seats not a big upgrade? Maybe transplant?
