This modification involves removing the factory-installed cargo area from a Can-Am X3 side-by-side vehicle. These kits generally include components to tidy up the rear of the vehicle after the bed’s removal, often incorporating a new rear bulkhead or panel. An example would be a kit that replaces the bed with a lightweight, tubular structure, offering a different aesthetic and potentially improved performance.
The value in executing this modification centers around weight reduction, enhanced aesthetics, and improved access for maintenance or modifications to other vehicle systems. Removing the substantial mass of the original bed can lead to gains in acceleration, handling, and overall performance, particularly in racing or aggressive riding scenarios. The modification also provides opportunities for customization and allows for a cleaner, more streamlined appearance. Historically, such modifications have been driven by the demands of competitive off-road events, where every advantage in performance matters.
