  1. 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

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. 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

  5. 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

  6. 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

  7. 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

  8. Looks good I took the flip part off mine yesterday added bars to connect front cage to rear of the t2 and changed the spare tire carrier so it's kinda like the rzr if I new how to post pics I could show
