I have had good luck with my Joyner Trooper, but I don't take it out jumping dunes either. For a trail rig, it is great. They have a few hiccups that I took care of when I first got it, but it seems pretty hardy after that. I had to put copper shims in the steering box and power steering.

I need to replace my left rear axle and hub on my t2-1100 trooper. What is cost and availability.

This is my modified trooper with Power steering, armored front fenders and light bar, covered glove box so that stuff stays in, new rear fenders that the tires can't touch, rear engine cover of expanded metal aluminum, larger tires, modified softer rear suspension, and real comfortable seats,

You have obviously done a lot of modification to your trooper. What was the reasoning behind the mods. Lack of Parts, you are 7' tall,????? -

Just bend up a piece of polycarbonate. -
I tried those tires and they work fabulous in sand, and really suck on dirt roads. You are literally all over the road at any speed past 25-30 mph. -
Ever since I replaced the plastic engine cover with an expanded metal cover (See photo) I have not had any cooling issues on the motor. It is important to blow out the radiator after every trip as the passages on the radiator are very small and plug up very easily. I also changed the rear fenders to 3/16 polycarbonate and bent them so that the wheel could not hit them in the upswing. -
I would be very interested in knowing what parts are available and the cost. Do you have any kind of inventory sheet and phone number or active email that you can be communicated with.

Welcome aboard. They are a lot of fun. -
Are these ball joints identical to the stock ones and where do you get them.

I have a 2009 Joyner Trooper 1100. I found that the Joyner Trooper ball joints were very poor quality, so I simply bought a similar size ball joint and the angle reamer, and they are much more robust. I find that with my trooper, a few things are just not made well and can use a few design changes. By in Large, the trooper is a very hardy machine and can be run trouble free if you don't treat it like a 1100 lb dune buggy and take it out jumping , etc.

Welcome aboard from a fellow Californian. I'm running a highly modified Joyner Trooper. You will really enjoy the ability to get out and crawl across areas without leaving a trace and still exploring some very challenging terrain.
