  1. Idk if this is possible but about a yr aga I talked to a mechanic from No limits powersports in Texas and he said you can remove the seats and what not and pull the tranny without pulling the engine he said was a tight fit but could be done. Just throwing it out there good luck
  2. Sorry to all that read my post NOT HYBRID engine but a Suzuki Hyabussa engine sorry for the confusion
  3. I'm lookin into doing a hybrids engine swap on mine using the stock tranny and converting the wet clutch to a dry clutch. You would have a total of 11 speeds then engine redlines around 10,000 rpm and wieghs less than 200 lbs right now I'm talking to a faricator and getting info from a company how to mate the trannys it's been done in other buggys if the new job goes well could hapen late this winter
  4. thats no good glad your ok
  5. Hey guys found the rattle noise in the front end some of it I believe was the brake pads so I put some anti seize lube on the outside of them and I found the one of the hyme joints at the rack had gotten little loose so I greased it and tightened it and no more noise
  6. nice trooper and thanx for your service in the military I like the doors and the fenders you have made. Im like you I like the trooper cause its different ya its frustrating at times but what isnt
  7. It's not a slapping noise it's like a little rattle and when I brake it stops haven't pulled the wheel yet
  8. thanx rocmoc and dan. I was talking about the actual t-belt behind the cover I know in the auto industry typically last 90,000-100,000. The noise I think is the brakes I will be pulling it apart this week to check. yes the tranny cruising down the road is when I hear it. The tranny like i said has always been loud just wanted to make sure it was normal cause I usually dont use 4th and 5th gears around home
  9. Hey guys had the trooper out over the weekend 210 miles when in the white mtns of nh right up to the canada border beutifull landscapes up there! No issues with the trooper but got some questions cause I am not use to driving the trooper at 30-40 miles an hour for extended periods of time Mine is an 09 1200 miles on it when should I do the t-belt When your cruising along do any of you guys get gear type noise from your tranny not when accelerating but like at a steady speed easing in and out of the throttle my tranny has always been on the louder side the fluid is clean and I just changed it before the trip should I but a heavier grade oil in?? And I also notices I was getting a light rattle noise from I believe the front almost like as if u had two wrenches and were lightly tapping them together it came and went the noise I also noticed if I put my foot on the brake a little it stopped. Can't imagine it's a wheel bearing but maybe the brake pads rattling?? Thank Charlie
  10. The cost is 232 but I am able to get it for 108 my cost gonna install it Thursday
  11. hey guys I got a lithium battery wieghs 4.5lbs 500cca, 96wh 30ah 8ah. will this work on the trooper it has duel negative posts and positive posts. I dont usually run anything but the radio with the trooper off or a light for short time I never winch enless its running. A battery rep came to my work said I could try it out since they are looking for new vendors
  12. the bolts that hold the rear diff and front diff together inside are not strong enough. specifically the bolts on the ring gear inside the housing theres a lot info here about it. Sometimes you can just replace the bolts with new stronger ones and make sure nothing is worn out I had to have mine reshimmed but mine actually BROKE. I have fox 2.0 8.5 travel front air shocks from fox I have about 11-12 inches total wheel travel. The rear is sway away (racerunner) thats the company they are 2.5 10" travel I believe. I do all kinds of riding lots lower speed stuff If i was hammering whoops id probally would have done something different. but they work fro me and the ride is great
  13. those are all good questions but some of your mods are gonna depend on your mechanical skills and ability's and what u need for were you wanna ride. I would say first upgrade make sure the front and rear diff has been upgraded they dont hold up I had to do mine and I didnt have many miles on it or ride as hard as others do. I would also make sure you have some kind of snorkle the factory air box is terrible. And do some water proofing with the ecm and fuse box and electrical connectors. I also did the steering box loosnes fix kit think there is still one on ebay. The suspension factory sux at best the shocks are heavy and at first it seems good but it can be improved a lot. I run air shocks but its not for everyone. the king shocks are awsome but its a big price. I would but 30" tires on it thats probally one of my favorite mods made the gearing so much better. there is a lot of cool people on here and info.
  14. The roll cage looks Awsome !!!! Wish I could get to moab
