Its good to be back. I have lots of catcing up to do. We have had our house for sale and in May it sold and we did not have internet untill yesterday. We lived with my father for 6 weeks and then waited 3 more for phone and internet services. We bought a lake home and have been very buisy. I have not even had time to ride but Iwill be making up for lost time. I hope you are all doing well and having a great time.

Checck this out the price is not to bad if it would work.

Not a bad idea lets get it together.

Hey I want one of those.

I agree I think I will start looking for a doener car. i think a Honda Fit 1.5ltr would work well. I had a Fit for a couple years and think it would work great small and good power with lots of power adders available.

Mine is just under $300 through Nodak Mutual.

No you want it to pull the air through like a car. Here is what I did.

A code reader for a car will not work for the Trooper. The code reader for this is a stand alone item and about 2 grand. If you have a good dealer near by they might have one but other then that i would try what Lenny has said he is the man when it comes to this thing!

So whats the final word on this? I need to start making plans.

I grew up in Kansas and loved it as a kid. As an adult the winters are tougher than I am. You are always welcome to come South and visit in the winter IF you bring your Trooper. Make sure we are here as it gets too cold here and we head further South. Can't even take the 50s in the daytime and the freezing nights, LOL! When I stopped skiing, I had NO further use for snow & cold. Skiing was the only way I could ever justify winter with snow.

Some day we may have to do just that. It sounds like you have some cool places to ride down there. So is everything running good for you?

We are in the middle of a blizzard. We got 18" in the last 36 hours and are supposed to get another 6-8" in the next 24 hours. 25-35 below wind chills. We have had a house full of family since Wednesday and wont be able to leave till Sunday its getting crowded.

Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Years! Todd

Pictures pictures pictures.

Freaking WOW what else can you say. That thing is awesome. I wish I had some of your imagination and ability. Again wow you have uped the bar again but you set the bar in the first place.

Thanks guys its tough but also a blessing. She could not get out of bed at the end and she would not want to live like that.

Thanks again Todd

Well I am still here. Lost my mom on Oct. 13 and have not been doing alot. I should have been making the most out of the unseasonably warm weather and lack of snow. I still need to put the shim and bolt kits in the diffs which I have had for several months but our house is for sale and I hate to start a project now.

I was kind of wondering where everyone has been too. I've been working on fall yard work to get ready for our short colder weather but that's done now. Also been working on fine tuning my suspension. The more I play with it the better it gets. Starting to better understand some of the fine points like when I need a little more or less dampening rather then more or less spring rate. I use a video camera to film going through various rough stuff. This gives me a good idea of just how the wheels are responding to not only the bump but the rebound rate. If I feel something, I film and then see if I can see it. Getting close. Electric steering is getting close. Kinarfi is just finishing up some details. I'm excited about just how powerful yet gentle it appears it is going to be especially with kinarfi's Smart Controller. Starting to look at the planitary gear setup again. Have decided to put them mid axel. Much easier and think I can get them in the room available. Will probably use electric selonids to activate them so will be able to switch back and forth.

Quit holding out on us. Lets see some of that video.

Nothing here yet in ND still 40s-50s loving it.

Be safe and have a great time.

Joyner is going to be in the near future .Doing a warranty on all troopers -renegade diffs.At no charge parts warranty.

Richard

Does this include those of use who do not have any warranty left?

Silverbullet.

The Joyner pre filter is n/g.You need K&N Precharger the precharge is Silicone coated.And it has to fit real tight.

Are all K&N pre filters impregnated with silicone? I was under the impression only the ones for personal water craft were.

My understanding the engine is Geo. The Oil filter is.

I do not recall ever seeing a 4 valve GEO.

Started cleaning my air filter and the way I usually do it is to roll it in gas to cut the oil, then wash it with dish soap and water, including a hose end sprayer, then blow the water out of it with the discharge from my shop vac, then dip it in gas that has filter oil in it and let it dry. Got to the blow the water out stage and noticed there were places with no filter element present. New K&N RC-4160 Air Filter: $48.99 +tx, will be at Autozone tomorrow.

Any body have any thing to say about this method? Is gas washing to harsh?

Thanks,

Kinarfi

I use simple green and have not had a problem.

We found that removeing the plastic cover and puting a metal mesh instead it ran much cooler.About 1/2 way up the gauge

I have moved my rad to the rear of the roll bar above the tail lights and with no windshield it will still heat up if i push it.

I have a K&N filter with a precharger for a pwc. The charger for the pwc is impregnated with silicon to shed water. The idea is to keep water from being sucked in.
