The Best Can Am X3 Essential Trail Tools

Let’s face it, nobody wants to break down on a ride. You plan with your buddies all week, talk a bunch of sh*t about how bad their RZRs and YXZs are, then BAM! 2 hours into your ride your X3 blows out a ball joint and you’re thinking to yourself, I gotta fix this ASAP! Not to worry, you took Brett from UTVRepair.com’s advice and brought enough tools to get yourself out of this situation and back to the trailer.

If you want to put your own tool kit together, we used this tool bag and found it fit really well under the seat of our Can Am X3

If you want one that’s pre-loaded with everything you need, a lot of people like Boxo Tools.

These are really cheap and can be a game changer for ease of changing belts. You can find them cheap on Amazon here!
