Welcome!

BUT, I use to have friends on here before I was included in your post, LOL! Since you have got me in hot water with my buddies, you better stick around and post about your toys. Also my old use to be buddies use to welcome me to the yearly Jamboree so I know you will be welcome also. I'm confused!

Little update. Jeeps for the most part are on hold because of upcoming trip and getting ready for winter. I have secured another tub/body to replace the rusty body on the '70. BUT it is not going on the '70. I was getting ready to install hanging pedals in the '69. SO instead I am putting the new tub which has hanging pedals on the '69 and moving the body off the '69 on to the '70 which has floor pedals. The replacement tub is a '74 and Jeep/AMC had completed moving the pedal. So I will have factory installed pedals instead of coming up with the design myself. In the bigger picture this is better & faster. In the mean time the '70 is drivable and will remain that way. I will do the work on the '69 first.

How about some input of how to increase posting / participation on the forum? I have tried starting other topics but little or no one is interested. If we don't get more activity going I am fearful for the site's long term health. I have been on other sites that are now gone from not enough use and they had more posting than here. Ideas!!!!!! On some of my other sites, people even check in just to say Hi for the day. So big Wed morning Hi!!! Working on the installation of new doors on the house. Laid tile yesterday.

I didn't meant ranger top on trooper,

I was wondering if you have anything for a Joyner trooper

Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

Sorry about that, I was just responding to how did the top look on the Ranger. No reponse for you question about the Trooper. That would have to come from CCMOFFROAD.

This design works better on the Ranger.

rocmoc n AZ/Mexico

You asked for it! Too utility looking, Doesn't flow with the design of the Wildcat. If you are looking at going into the mass aftermarket, this will hurt you. Someone will build one that looks more like it was designed by Arctic Cat. Just my opinion.

Yes there is but not by most shade tree'rs. I would do a leak down test first.

rocmoc n AZ/Mexico

Welcome! I use to be a Jeeper, became a UTVer and then became a Jeep again.

rocmoc n AZ/Mexico

Could also because of bad valves or valve guides seals. Also could be a head gasket starting to leak between two adjacent cylinders. After this the really bad stuff that rarely happens. Won't really know until you tear it down.

rocmoc n AZ/Mexico

I do stuff like that all the time. Really hate it when it is on a site/blog where I can edit my mess-up.

rocmoc n AZ/Mexico

Nah, the new one is faded red and completely stock. Pretty ugly as it came out of the mid-west and was driven in the snow & salt. I have new floors & braces I will be installing this next week. Just got it running and it runs GREAT! Trying to get it ready for a winter trip behind the motorhome. Won't look great but will run great. Will deal with the looks in the Spring. Just got the new trans & transfer case back for the '69. Will install in the next couple of weeks but still have to rework the pedals so I can install the new brake & clutch setup. On a sidenote, just sold my sandrail today so made roon in the garages. Really liked it but with my best buddy getting motion sickness everytime we went in the sand, it had to go.

Happy T-day to everyone! Everyone has left and I'm too full.

Ten Four Kinarfi. Currently planning to do Ouray, CO. next Aug. Will be my big summer trip in 2013. Didn't get there this year as the Jeep wasn't ready. I don't know what the CO laws are about driving a UTV or ATV on the highway. Will be taking the road Jeep, not the rock crawler / off-roader.

Boy!!!!, I sure hope not. All they ever did was bicker and argue when I used to visit there, never got any useful info from that site. Sorry Mike, they just left me with a really bad attitude toward them. Even when I suggested cleaning up there act and creating a place that was model specific so the RZR group could quit bad mouthing the Joyner group, they thought things were fine. Haven't been there for a couple of years now, Hope they've changed.

You KNOW that is not what I was looking for. Looking for the local info that is hard to find.

IMHO, the ring & pinion are too small dia for continuous use at high speed (and my GUESS would be above 40 mph) and both front & rear diffs will be turning. Older Jeeps had/have the same problem with small dia wheels & tires used with low diff gear ratios, burns up the bearings. My off-road Jeep has 4:88 gears with 33" tires and will be trailered. My Jeep pulled behind the Motorhome has 3:73 gears with 30" tires and I still don't/won't pull over 60 mph. I am sure someone else will jump in. Better to get a flat trailer for the Trooper and double pull like Lenny does. Oh by the way, still have my trailer used for the Trooper. It is for sale but will be listing it this week with the sandrail on the local Craigslist. I would sale it without the sandrail. Sidenote for friends who have been out with us when we used the sandrail, Forgot the better 3/4 gets motion sickness when I bought it and that is was happened within minutes of first time out. If I can't take my best buddy, then the sandrail goes.

We are gong to Baja, down to La Paz, early spring. If you wish to tag along, you are welcome. Just PM. We will travel pretty quickly to La Paz to seek out the warmer weather and than work our way back North as it warms. We have friends we will be visiting along the way and I know you would be welcome, the RVer & internet friend thing. Have been to Mexico many times with the RV so know the routine. We are taking a Jeep to do day trips and off-roading. UTV do very well in Mexico. In general less expensive trip than the USA but Mexican Insurance is required. Travel less than 300-200 miles a day in route.

In Arizona we have a site called RidingArizona.com that a lot of locals use. Is there a site like it in Utah?
