4x4x454

Has anyone put a chip in there trooper yet 4x4x454 you was talking to Meg did she come up with anything

Yes way to much $ / hp. You only got 20 hp for about $900.

Sorry to hear about the scare and thank God you are all right. A situation like that would have given me a laundry problem for sure.

Standing it on end.

The ones I have found are about $900. They reflash the ecu. Way out of line for 20 hp.

IMHO, It should be South of Nevada; Southern Cal, AZ or New Mexico. That was a LONNNNNNNNG pull! The White Mountains between AZ & New Mexico.

rocmoc n AZ/Mexico/Moab,UT.

Its going to be a long haul for me anywhere unless you all come up here. But the closest thing to call a cool trail would be the Black Hills in South Dakota or Rocky's in Montana. I vote for MOAB.

Love the pics it looks great I finally got to put a few faces with the rides I know so well. I wish we could have been there It sounds like a great time. Sorry to here about the T4 but I hope you had a good time on the quads. Cant wait for more pics and some video. So where are we going next year?

The whole axle comes off of the rear end. The rear dif has stub shafts that the axle slips on to I just took a long pry bar and they popped right off.

My rear dif has had a clunking noise and my locker wasn't working. Finally get around to tearing it down and all the bolts holding on the ring gear are pulling out. The ring gear would rock back and forth. All the bolts had safety wire or I am sure one would have fallen out and caused big trouble.

All the bolts are soft I will be replacing them with harder ones on Monday and lock tight instead of safety wire. Has anyone else run into this problem?

I don't live at the north pole I only get snow for 3 months of the year the rest of the time I'm playing in mud and riding trails, I want bigger tires for flotation. there is a line when you have lots of surface area you actually get less traction depending on your weight. I learned this with the tracks when I tried to pull a rhino in the winter. I just spun and slipped but then we hooked a rhino on instead he could do much better, with the tires he could "chew" better. the same goes for hills in the summertime i could go up them no problem but i would spin some where as a rhino wouldn't. I'm not saying that would be the case with 14" wide treads but you never know. My tracks definitively have way more flotation than any tire but the driveability on trails isn't there you need to go slow over obstacles like rocks and trees. that and the overall width is an extra 8". Anyhow with planetarys on the wheels that were a 3:1 ratio you would be putting way less stress on the drive line so to me tire size wouldn't matter especially with the power steering.

How the heck does that work I live in North Dakota and we get 4-6 months of the whit stuff. That's just not right. We still have some snow in the tree rows and coulies.

I hope you all have a great time wish we could join you but just not meant to be this year. Have fun and be safe!

So with your mod could I run 33-12.50x15 truck tires?

Bolt pattern is 4 on 115. Not sure about back spacing.

It works very good I use it all the time.

I WILL BE THERE NEXT YEAR THATS A PROMISE!!!

Cinda, that sounds awesome and & very tempting however commitments will stop me make any additional plans for the rest of the year. Lets say as long as 4x4x454 makes the same promise, I would like to think I can get over there within the next couple of years. Maybe we can start making plans for next year and get everyone that counts involved. Man, I really hope John Burns or crew from T.J's turn up, I think they would be very impressed with you lot.

Cheers Mike.

Here is a video of Logandale. It looks like a great time I wish we could go just not going to happen this year. Take lots of pics and video for those of us who have to sit this one out. Have a great time and be safe.

My Craftsman metric set has a 18mm that works just fine.

Your front driver side tire must be a spare as its on backwards?

You will have to keep track of all the parts and part #s for us and let us know how well it works it sounds like a good idea to me.

They don't give owners manuals with the trooper you have to down load it. I printed it out so I could have a hard copy.

Do you have a pic of your trooper with them on.

What size are they?

I'm running Super Swampers and they seem to get the job done in our sandy rocky terrain. I paid $499.90 for 5 tires including shipping from JC Whitney.

In order to run them all around I had to get a couple of rims as the stock rear rims are to wide. Now I have a spare that will fit each corner.

welcome to the forum you will love all the info as well as the trooper.

What brand and what size are you running?

I haven't had mine on long enough to give an honest answer, but I believe they're the best I could get for my rims and was influenced by my son's off road racing knowledge, would have used B. F. Goodrich if they made one for 14". You got to consider your type of riding too. I'm not aggressive in general but occasional, get very aggressive, so I went with what will do the job and last as long as possible, least expensive over long run. I do like the bead/rim guard on these though. Photo later.

I am starting to see more and more aftermarket tires on peoples troopers on here and was wondering what you all thought about your choice. I want to put some one mine but I'm not sure if I should go with a all terrain type tread or something more aggressive.

That looks awesome. I have climbed some hills that scared the heck out of me the first time up to but not so far to the top.
