  1. Now that I have a perch on the back of my joyner, I wanted to up the shock pressure. Turns out shocks leak, and the left one was at 50#, and the right at 90#.

    Wanted to have a remote tank with guage and fitting, both shocks plumbed in to the same tank (I ride pretty even - either 2 or 4 people).

    If you'd like to see pics of a DIY with no welding or machining, go here:

  2. Yup, New 500 amp kill switch ordered on ebay;

    New 40 amp breaker ordered ebay

    checking relay tomorrow

    found braided line here in panama - no easy task, plus the guy didn't want to sell it cus he didn't have fittings, or so he says. Bought it, plus bought fittings, and will be putting everything together in the next few days. Once done I'll post pics

  3. When you remove the schrader valves on the joyner shocks, what thread is the hole?

    I'm trying to ad a remote pressure tank, hoping to be able to easily adjust the shock nitro pressure (using my local welding gas). Don't want to remove the fitting to find out - filling these things is a major pain here in Panama.

    Anyone buy an aftermarket main switch, and if so, which one works best?

    Mine just burned the internal contacts. I think I can clean them, but it does look flimsy and would prefer something beefier.

    Winch relay - which would anyone recommend?

    And an old, but still important unanswered question: Has anyone found aftermarket 2 or 4 pot brakes that would work with minimal changes? Brake pad area is soooo small on these machines.

    THANKS FOR ANY AND ALL HELP!

  4. Anyone have problems with stock batteries on your joyner? Mine was dead after I left the buggy parked and the master switch off (no power) for 5 weeks. Before then, I had the rad/fan fusebox meltdown, which heated up the starter fuse connection. Had trouble starting it and nearly killed the battery.

    Got a new 450 amp battery, hankook, but the little 'eye' was black, like every other eye on hankook batteries here. It didn't have enough juice to start the thing either. It's charging now.

    Starting the thing jumping it from a truck. Should I be worried of something bigger, or is it just the batteries?

  5. I hate runarounds. I like efficiency. Efficiency means honesty and clear answers. Anything else leaves me sweating bullets when I paid for something I'm not getting. I think both threads make the situation very clear.

    I think A buyer will be much more likely to give a seller a chance when ALL the cards are clearly laid out on the table.

  6. I struggled with the decision to swap out my wheels and put a set of 31" on there. Did it and haven't looked back......except to smile! The extra ground clearance is awesome, and like Charlie says, 1st gear usability improved. I was worried that I would loose some of the rock crawling abilities, but I have still been able to climb all the same hills after the swap as I did before. I actually use first gear now though.

    Still it should be said that the low end torque lacks the ability to impress, on an 09' model at least, regardless of the tire size.

    What tires did you put Mariner - truck or UTV? And are you still running 14" rims?
