Thanks for the input that's useful to know... aftermarket shocks call for limiting straps I'll need to remember that.I've been having a nasty little clunk in the front end for some time and I blamed it my front shocks topping out after "sharp bumps" like a 3" rocks or even smaller. I called FOA and asked them what they thought it was and they agreed that the shocks were topping out and told me to put limiting straps on. They gave me the impression that limit straps standard. I wish I had thought about the need for limiting strap when I was ordering them, I would have added an inch or two and then limited it to as much as I can handle, now I have to give up some of my travel to get the limiting so they don't top out any more. Oh WELL, that's life.

I don't know if i want 13 tooth pinion yet... trooper have 15 tooth and renegade is 14 tooth i feel 14 tooth really helped me a lot getting power back except for in 5th gear up steep hill at high speed i still lose speed. I think i just need more hp/torque for now to get that back up...but if you make machined much stronger metal pinion and ring gear i think I'll buy set but not sure yet...

Question. Does anyone know of we can have a new pinion made with say 2 less teeth and still make it match up? We could prob have a spacer made for behind the ring gear.
I would say yes but if I'm going to do it... i think i might would design one on computer 3dprogram and then make it into plastic with 3d printer to make sure it's all matched up then either use cnc to make one out of slab of metal or use the plastic one to make an mold and use mold to make pinon and clean the flash off (metal Sharp edges)
I doubt it would be cheap

I don't know About Dolly But How I Seen People Do It Was They Would Drive It Up Into Back Of Truck With Ramps And Back Wheel Would Be On Tailgate And Ramps Would Be On Side In The 2.5" space or under the utv if I remember right but i believe that was an 2 seater though.. that was like two years ago last time i saw that done. Now everybody including me haul it on a flatbed trailer. i just drove into my hometown and back home for fun but my hometown is lax about utv's and ATVs only 1200 people in Small Iowan town... from what i heard some states allow utv on the public roads Iowa unfortunately do not. But im an part time farmer so i just tell the cops I'm going from one work site to other and they are fine with that as long as its not in dark (ughh) i still sneak sometimes but not wise lol. i regret going into courthouse and telling them its an utv and getting atv title when i had an automotive title for the utv to make it street legal!
Edited:
ALSO.....i believe all utv have their share of problems. My trooper have 5 speed manual transmission and locking rear and front diff and 1100cc 4 inline cylinder engine that's what appealed to me the most. I have had to overcome bad fuse block that let water get in and burn out fuses... then i had to work around overheating by buying higher cfm radiator fan and then i got an bigger radiator but i haven't installed the radiator yet... my rear differential blew up so i went for renegade differential instead of trooper for better gear ratio for my 32" mud tires (highlifter outlaw 2 29.5's)
Now I'm going to get electronic fuel jet kit for hp gains and I'm going to replace my outer tie rods and possibly ball joints and wheel bearings. I also broke an rear swingarm but i beefed up the new ones now they are good. My differential also had to be shimmed...tighter tolerance because factory sell them with really loose tolerance and that would cause differential to blow up again.
Overall I'm very happy with my team Joyner trooper 2 seater.. next time i think i probably would go for wildcat or just buy an Jeep XJ (Cherokee) 1989-1998 classic square body and then build it up or buy one already built and built one would be able to go where utv go but jeep are a bit wider. Your other alternative is to get two or three atv's if you feel comfortable with that. I still feel utv can go where ATV can't.. especially the trooper it will go where other utv can't go lol. Other people on Joyner section here and i agree about the t2 being more capable off road than other utvs but wildcat is very nice and rides great and faster from what i heard...

I wonder if its the tires that stick out the 12'? I would see about deflating the tires a bit to make it shorter if its possible but air up before you drive it out and deflate after u get in if you must get the rv with 12' garage... personally i would just go for 14' then i could put a bit more cargo in there like lawn chairs and etc...
I don't know of anyone or any way to tow the utv's...with my utv and possibly all other utv...i can't lock my steering at all.. wiring is a nightmare since mine was from China. I don't know if cvt contiously variable transmission (belt driven automatic) can be towed but i imagine maybe yes but at long period of time and at high speed...i wouldn't chance it myself... hopefully someone else here will chime in.

I have only experience with my only one utv i owned it's 2 seater and its about 15' long... but with Google search there's the ranger pursuit that seats 5
http://www.polaris.com/en-us/ranger-utv/6-seater/ranger-crew-800-polaris-pursuit-camo/
Also there's ode's that i heard is very good but a bit problem of backseat getting hot in summer..it seats 5 at 11k brand new
http://www.odesutvs.com/ODES_800cc_DOMINATOR_5_Seater_4_Door_UTV_p/odes8004.htm
There's also hisun 5seater but from what i heard its a clone of i believe Polaris... but not as good quality as Polaris... again remember i only heard this so it's hearsay i don't know anything else about those
This is where i heard about odes hot back seat issue...
2013 Dominator 800cc EFI - ODES UTVS is Doing BIG THINGS
Utv is lot of fun to me to go trail riding and to cram it in back of pick up i have seen people do that it barely fit in a long box with the tailgate down it looks like very very tight fit to me lol.
Also welcome to the world of utv i hope you find something and enjoy it a lot with your family!
My best advice is to go out and look at those models and test drive and test drive again and maybe find someone near u or friend, somebody that would let you ride or drive their utv!

Kinarfi...my rear had the right diameter splines so renegade rear matched up to trooper no problem but front threw me off. I don't know why that is like that i looked up in t2 manual it even said that front is supposed to be smaller and on my t2 it's all same front and rear i'm sure that's same for everyone else here?

I never installed the radiator because I'm not sure how to get around the different hoses sizes and how to Mount it yet but i do know i would want to fabricate upper Mount and modify the lower Mount and have rubber between the mount and radiator so the vibration wouldn't crack the radiator...

I got this one but i can't believe the price went up I think i got it for like 200 i can't remember that was a bit over a year ago
http://pages.ebay.com/motors/link/?nav=item.view&id=380452931454
Mine looks exactly like that... 27x19x2.5thick
There's also mounting holes on back of radiator for fans... i don't know if i can fit two fans there
I have had my radiator boil out once when my fan fuse blew and I was rushing home before it got hot but as I got home, the overflow coolant tank shot cloud of steam out bottom out of overfill relief and that scared me so much i thought i blew up the cooling system and probably hurt the engine

Muaythai i have overheating problem also if i stay over 50-55 for few miles.. i bought an bigger radiator that Lenny recommended, i still haven't installed it because i never got to it and i still need to figure out how to do radiator hoses that's different sizes between engine and new radiator. When i get that done i might will do a threadTinman, I had the same problem with the boots so I replaced them also. I change the diff oil every fall as well as a complete service because the winter is when I use it most. Nocturnalsixer I had the diff up graded after it went out the first time, as far being shimmed I don't know if that is part of the up grade. I have added a larger fan with higher cfm. I sealed the fan shroud to ensure all air was being drawn through the rad. I took the rad off and flushed the coolant system to eliminate any blockage. I am looking for a larger rad but haven't found one as of now.
I want to thank you guys for you time and help.

All i see him said is "done that" for upgraded so I'm guessing that he upgraded from first batch where the bolt heads had wires through those instead of locking tabs to retain the bolt heads

Muaythai1 i would recommend increase coolant capacity or increase air flow to your radiator or even better.. do both
For cv that depends.. my cv went out but that's because i let it throw grease everywhere then get dry when boot got torn up. Diff should be shimmed to make sure that don't happen again. I don't know how tinman went so long without shim unless he already have shimmed his diff. I shimmed both front and rear diffs and noticed it improved the tolerance a lot.

The conical washers i pointed out look so-so one of them have damage on inside hole but those are parts that survived the rear end grenade. I also have case that's still usable

I have 2 or 3 conical washers also still intact but not in best shape but usable

I had the diff go out about a year ago and found it hadn't been up graded like I was told so I had that done. I was told it wouldn't have any more issues 800.00 later. It is the T2 gearing, No oil running out any where and no gear noise at all.
Did you buy the diff already "upgraded" from a store without shimming it? One store told me that they have "upgraded unit" i asked what was upgraded they said stronger bolts and locking tabs to hold the bolt head from turning out... exactly what i already had in my t2 when it blew up...i used lenny kit to take out the sloppy end play

I have extra of that if u need one... both upper and lower cross shaft from my t2 rear end is still good

Hey big Dan which pinion shaft was you talking about? The pinion itself that mates to ring gear or the stub shaft that goes inside carrier to mate with spider gears?

Muaythai
Did you put in stronger bolts from Lenny? What broke last time? It's still t2 gearing ratio?
I'm guessing spider gear or side gear shafts if its not making noises like it's driving on few broken teeth off pinion... mine broke few teeth at pinion and chipped the ring gear but spider was still good.
Is there oil coming out anywhere?

4800 miles on my T2. I have made a lot of changes, full cab with jeep like windows in the doors, new induction for the Turbo which has two large air filters, added a remote oil filter unit which has two large filters which require a gallon more oil, mud flaps, limit straps, diff up grade, tapered wheel bears. I really like the concept and layout of the machine but I am very tired of this thing always breaking down.
I'm curious what kept breaking?

I'd love to own that rally fighter along with the t2. That looks like lot of fun jumping it and drifting it. I wonder how it will do on trials compared to t2. (I can't hear a thing so i don't know what anyone is saying in the video)
Edited.. http://localmotors.com/rallyfighter/
100k for one! I wish i could afford that.... 6.2 v8 430 hp very nice but i bet mpg isn't good lol

I got pictures of side gear shaft showing the difference in spline diameter

That's interesting i don't know if that matters but i noticed on my 18' tilt flatbed i have installed 12000 lb winch on it and it used 6 circuit breakers in series on the positive battery post. Is that to protect from short across battery and for overload protection? I'm considering upgrading my winch to wired/wireless combo

Well i went out to install my shimmed renegade front diff and pull out the old t2 diff that was still in the t2. Before anyone makes this mistake.....pull out the t2 front diff and compare the axle stubs that cv half shaft go over and make sure they are the same. I'm going to have to tear it down and rebuild/shim it all over my mistake for thinking renegade and trooper share exact same diff. Everything is same except for pinion on rear diff but on front diff its the pinon and side gears.

You will love the mpg u get with a hybrid! I drive a Prius my wife and her dad have their own Prius also we average 40-50mpg on highway with lots of hills.. i notice with more higher speed mpg suffer but in city it really shines a lot i have been able to get 100 mpg for 10 or 15 minutes using only electric motor to move the car and to regenerate the battery during foot off pedal and braking. Sure almost everyone bash my prius and call it a turd until i tell them...it only took me a gallon of gas to get to work 50 miles one way...how much gallon of gas did your Truck used in 20 miles that silenced them very fast
