Description
Can-Am Defender Headache Rack & Game Loader
No Limit Wheels designed the Can-Am Defender Headache Rack & Game Loader for owners who hunt, work, and haul with their Defender. It protects the rear glass while providing maximum visibility and combines a heavy-duty headache rack with a winch-powered game loader in one clean setup.
In addition, the system includes a completely hidden 1,000-lb winch with synthetic rope, wireless remote, custom billet fairlead, flush-mount LED lighting, and extra accessory mounting. As a result, this system does much more than a traditional headache rack.

Rear Glass Protection with Maximum Visibility
A headache rack should protect the back of the cab while still giving you a clear view behind your Defender.
The No Limit Wheels Headache Rack provides maximum visibility while still providing maximum protection behind the cab. The open layout gives you an excellent rear view while adding a strong barrier between the cargo area and rear glass.
For example, that visibility matters when backing up, watching a trailer, hunting, or working in tight areas.
Instead of using one large flat panel, the rack uses multiple formed bends. Those bends add strength and rigidity while eliminating flex and rattling on trails, fields, gravel roads, and rough terrain.
As a result, you get a strong, clean Headache Rack that provides serious rear-glass protection without blocking more of your view than necessary.
Hidden 1,000-lb Winch
We hide the 1,000-lb winch completely inside the Can-Am Defender Game Loader.
Keeping the winch inside the Game Loader helps protect it from exposure. At the same time, it gives the finished system a much cleaner look than a winch mounted above the Defender bed.
The included winch uses synthetic rope and comes with a wireless remote. As a result, you can operate the Game Loader while standing where you can clearly see and control the load.
The included winch also carries a 3-year warranty.
Custom Billet Fairlead Made for the Game Loader
We designed a custom billet fairlead specifically for the No Limit Wheels Game Loader.
Rather than using an oversized universal fairlead, we designed our billet fairlead to fit the Game Loader and synthetic rope correctly. Because of this, it keeps the system looking clean and finished.
The fairlead looks like part of the Game Loader instead of a universal part added afterward.
More Than a Game Loader
The Game Loader is ideal for hunters, but hunting season is only part of what it can do.
Use it to help load deer, hogs, feed, tools, equipment, supplies, and other heavy cargo directly into the Defender bed.
During hunting season, it provides a convenient way to load game. However, the Game Loader remains useful around the farm, ranch, property, or job site throughout the rest of the year.
In addition, the wireless remote lets you operate the winch from a better position while keeping your attention on the load.
Built to Work with Your Defender
The Headache Rack and Game Loader add useful features without taking away the functions that make the Can-Am Defender so useful.
The system keeps full dump-bed operation and requires no drilling, cutting, or trimming for installation. The Headache Rack uses a strong 3-piece formed design. In addition, both components receive the same powder-coat finish used on No Limit Wheels bumpers.

Headache Rack and Game Loader — Together or Separately
The complete system includes both the No Limit Wheels Headache Rack and Game Loader. However, each component can also work independently.
If you mainly want rear-glass protection and extra accessory mounting, you can purchase the Headache Rack separately. Likewise, you can purchase the Game Loader separately if you mainly need the winch-powered loading system.
For customers who want both, the complete Headache Rack & Game Loader kit saves $169 compared with buying the two components separately.

The Headache Rack and Game Loader can also be purchased separately and used independently.
One of the most important parts of the design is what the Headache Rack and Game Loader do not attach to: the dump bed.
Neither component attaches to the Defender bed or relies on the bed for structural support. The dump bed remains fully functional with the system installed.
You can continue hauling and dumping cargo normally without removing the Headache Rack or Game Loader.
We designed it this way because adding a Game Loader should not take away one of the features that makes the Can-Am Defender so useful.
No Drilling, Cutting or Trimming
Installation does not require permanent modification to your Defender.
There is no drilling, no cutting, and no trimming required to install the Headache Rack and Game Loader.
You do not have to cut body panels or drill holes into your machine to install the system.
Integrated Accessory Bar
The Headache Rack provides additional mounting space for the gear you use with your Defender.
The integrated accessory bar is designed for mounting Can-Am LinQ accessories, MOLLE accessories, RotopaX, and other compatible equipment.
This gives you another location to organize frequently used gear while keeping more of the Defender bed available for larger items.
Flush-Mount LED Rear Lighting
Flush-mount LED lights are integrated into the Game Loader and included with the complete system.
They provide useful rear lighting when loading game after dark, working around the cargo bed, preparing for an early-morning hunt, backing into a dark area, or finishing a job after sunset.
The lights and wiring are included, so you are not buying a bare Game Loader and then sourcing the major components separately.
