I had the factory light bar on my trooper played around with swapping bulbs never could get what I wanted. Also converted to HID go the kits off ebay 35$ a pair. But recently I just switched to LED 20" light bar should have done that first instead wasting time and money

-

-
i run 30s no rub and I agree with 2 scoops and they are heavy
-
yes retaining ring is still there and The splines were greasy I put grease on them when I last had it apart incase future problems. I put it back on and it seemed ok but I didnt drive it much. The splines look ok except at the very end

What's up guys so finally got some run time on the trooper. 67here in ma was a great day, so I'm riding along threw the trails some woops some hills little mud not driving hard, go threw a mud hole not even that bad got stuck On my belly pan winched out so I start making my way home and I'm like heck the clutch is slipping now, couldn't climb sh*t for hills or anything endless the rear was locked and using 4x4! Trooper ran great prior to this, so I'm going back and I'm like what the heck so I hit the fire road take it out of 4x4 unlock the rear axle doesn't wanna go anywhere!!!! So my brother is behind me I say stay with me and watch me so I lock only the rear and I can barly control it the trooper is all ova the place my brother stops me and shows me my r/r axle popped off the diff so I only had one drive axle looks like it had been off for a bit. Inside the axle hat the teeth are little worn at the end splines on diff look ok. I run limit straps on the trooper. I popped the rear axle back on with the help of a jack and drive it feels fine I'm worried is it possible I did rear diff damage and has this gapped to any of u I don't understand what happened??? I have an 09 trooper rear diff upgrade by Lenny installed by Lenny so if anyone has an opinion or axle shaft and snap ring let me know
-
wow Ya I just had the front and rear welded together if I was as crafty as you or some otheres I would stotally rebuild it I was shocked how thin it was the new tunes I added are 2-3 times thiker and feel great with the xtra wieght off the back

Hey Locoharlyman I like the doors on your trooper any close up pictures
-
nice job I cut mine short near the rear tire I was finding that I was getting stuck sometimes when I was flexed out with the suspension but looks great
-
are you parting out a t2
-
Thanks guys ya was little sparkly the gear oil and I flushed the diff out no junks or shavings
-
My fox shocks were I think 200$ each those are in the front the sway away (race runners) in rear were I think 300-325 they work great for me I'm gonna get a nitro kit stiffen the fronts up little
-
Ooh thanks I haven't changed mine in probably a year that's bad and it hasn't been changed since I had them rebuilt so I feel like I might be ok gonna recheck the locker make sure it's sliding and engaging right. Before I pull it apart. And I am as we'll gonna start changing it at least twice a year pending on how much I drive it. It's hard to work on it now cause it's at a friends garage so opening the rear diff would be a lot work in a day
-
Hey I am curious guys how often do you guys change your diff fluids and when you do have you seen any metal in them the fluid??.
-
carefull on the swampers I dont remeber but I feel like that was a pretty heavy tire. I have the zillas on mine NOT the mud zilla and I cut down a lot street when I go out and they have held up really well I run like 10lbs air
-
I had my top made by my ex mother inlaw other wise Id give you her info but the divorce didn't go smooth lol. My diffs have held up great i run synthetic fluids in them. Hands down one the best upgrades I did was the 30" tires gearing is way better now first gear you can use and top end is nice to I do a lot low speed riding and its great I dont beat the hell out of my T2 in fact I could probably drive it harder but I got the biggest badest toy in my group so I am Happy
-
I was gonna lower my cage but I had a soft top and doors made for it thats why I am taking the factory light bar off
-
Ya I figured the stock battery was a lot lighter lol guess ill just put the optima in my fj cruiser haha. Ya I had my rear diff rebuilt by Lenny back a while ago and the front. was driving along heard a clunk then nothing but so far so good. Lenny ran his t2 harder than anyone with lot more power and after rebuild he had no issues so that's what I am hopping for
I love the way the bed looks off it I always carried to much stuff mostly my buddies shit so this will solve that. I had been wanting to change it for a long time took some weight off by doing it. This weekend I am taking the stock light bar off that will take almost 8" height off the top of the t2 and I'm putting a 24" LED light bar under wear the stock bar is. Another thing I like without the bed is now the main cage and back are tied in more strength

did it I got my kits off eBay xentex I believe it was 35$ a kit to convert two lights the bulbs are H3 mine are 35 watt you may think that's not bright but IT IS. I did it to all my light bar lights and I switched that to LED but took the HID lights and they are now my driving lights big big difference and yes I cut the wires to hide the balest from water and used the factory harness
