  1. I got some new shocks for the trooper, Monday I will be installing them on one of my new units and testing them out. These are supposed to be the the best thing going for the trooper. Looks like retail will be about $800 for a set of 4. I have these at my shop now. Stay tuned for results of my testing.

  2. Does anyone know how many Troopers are out there?, I ask because if there are significant #s than maybe we will se the return of Joyner in N.America.

    I wrote the factory last week asking them if they had any plans of coming back to N.A. I have not recievied a response yet.

    I sure like the Trooper but I would think it won't be to long before critical parts will not be available anymore.

    Secondly, does anyone have a simple test to confirm if the Diff upgrade was done in a Trooper?

    I have the 09 but it still has the Electric 4X4 shift and when I put it up on blocks all the wheels can move back and forth 4 to 5 inches (slack) the rear being the higher number (5 inches slack approx_

    Thanks

    Critical parts are not going to become un-availible, Joyner is a Multi nation vestment and they are being distributed all over the world except for the US, EPA and CARB approval is holding those units back at the moment, I hear that they will be back in the states soon, I hope so becuase talking to the other distributors around the world the 2011 Trooper is leaps and bounds above even where the late 3 level 2009's were. The trooper only being 2 years old, it did make vast improvements, and continues today.

  3. The axle has to come out perfectly straight. Any off center prying and the snap ring will not compress. I use 2 private exactly opposite each other. Wiggle them back and forth it should pop out. Sometimes they require some persuasion to come out. One time I even had to get axle apart weld a bracket to bell and use a slide hammer. Sometimes you just get lucky

  4. I don't see 145 too outrageous for a trooper axle. They are big and beefy. I have never seen one break that was not caused by ripped boots lots of dirt and the bad things that happen when you mix that with bearings. Although I have seen some that have pulled the joint apart over extending them.

  5. Have you seen the maintenance schedule for some of those things your venting about and thier horsepower? My bosses husky super motard your supposed to replace the cyl piston and rod after every 10 hours or less. Crank at 20 hours. This is "extreme" use. I would not vent too hard about the pricing. As parts become more readily available in the near future you will start to see some of the pricing drop. Enjoy your buggy for what it is. If you wanted fast and lots of power then maybe you should have bought something else? You say you want low end power, that snowmobile doesn't make any power below 7000 rpm. Your comparing apples and oranges. I like my joyners and will stick with them. You could get a all new crew in and redesign everything but then what? You buggy turns into a 17k buggy. Who wants that? I feel you on this but then again what are you really expecting? Go hop on the waiting list for the new rzr and let us know how it performs.
