You Could Own This Gnarly Can-Am Pre-Runner Build

This rowdy Can-Am is a desert-ready racer.

The Can-Am X3 was already a massively capable rig, but this seller’s UTV takes things to the next level. With 97 hours of use, this customized pre-runner rig is ready to hit the desert with several go-fast, don’t-break upgrades.

The seller noted that the X3 has been disassembled to the bare frame and reinforced wherever possible to ensure its long-term durability. It’s got a custom 27-gallon Pyrotect fuel cell with a 38-gallon capacity, a four-person intercom system with headsets, and Sparco front seats.

A custom-built Smart-Shox suspension system works with shock tower braces, a Double E Racing sway bar kit, a Shock Therapy steering rack, and Hess billet knuckles. Surprisingly, the motor runs a stock tune, but it’s got Evolution Powersports charge pipes, an Evo plenum reinforcement brace, a Sandcraft drive shaft, and more. Power reaches the ground through a set of 35-inch BFG tires wrapping Raceline beadlock wheels.

As you might have already guessed, this rig doesn’t come cheap. While the standard Turbo RR from 2021 had a starting price in the mid-$20,000 range, the seller wants $45,000 for this over-the-top build. That said, you get a lot for your money, and it would likely cost more to build a comparable rig from scratch.
