  1. Thanks Lenny. The new cable came complete with new sheathing so that is covered. I will unplug the IAC test. If that doesn't work I will try return spring. Can't get my head around the fact that it only happens when vehicle is moving. Just doesn't make sense. Results will be posted after testing. Have a great day!

  2. Hello.

    I'm hoping the Trooper Forum can help me with a nagging problem on my 08 T4. When the vehicle is moving, the RPM's hang up sometimes between shifting and also when I push in the clutch and roll to a stop. Shifting at RPM over 4000 it sometimes stays there (doesn't drop down between shifts). If I put in neutral and roll to a stop it hangs at about 1300 RPM. Once the vehicle comes to a complete stop the RPM drops to 900 like it should. I cleaned up all sensors in the intake throttle body and just replaced the throttle cable but problem remains. Otherwise this rig runs awesome, but my mechanic background makes this really annoying. After reading too many posts on this forum I'm pretty sure I have one of the very early 08 models. Any ideas would be appreciated.

  3. I've been looking for some tires also. The 30's you found fit the stocks rims did you replace the rims also. A link would be great since I didn't actually find what you previously posted.

    I bought my sled used and it came with extra wheels + 31" tires. They were too big so i dropped 1" and they just fit. Very happy with them but I don't get into sand. Won't be good for that but this opens up more options for tires. Good luck!

    PS: I will post pics later

  4. I'm new to the whole UTV thing, in my younger days I had rail buggies, 3 wheelers, and dirt bikes. Now I wanted something with a more uses but still fun. I picked up an 07 Arctic Cat Prowler 650 H1 XT this summer, it came with a factory winch, soft top & doors. I've added turn signals (we can drive on streets) Eagle "72 snow plow. Now I'm in need of tires, going to start a thread on which ones I'm considering hope to see some feedback.

    Welcome to the crazy world of UTV's! I'm relatively new to this sport too. I spent my younger days getting high, listening to music and chasing females :P ! Good luck with the tire search. I use Discount Tire for all my tire needs. They supplied me with 30" Rocky Mtn AT's for extra clearance on my 08 Joyner T4 (see, I'm still getting high!). Have fun and watch this forum for loads of good info.

  5. Hey DirtyDog - Lets get together and go riding.

    I'm up for that when I get this thing done. Doing wheel brgs, broke my fuel sender and modding my rear rack. Can you post pics of your spare tire mount? Should be finished by end of this week. Where can we meet? I live near Cave Creek.

  6. What ya think?

    Rocmoc, this should help for carbuerated models but not for EFI units. I think it allows air/fuel mixture to travel a little further before entering combustion chamber, allowing for better mixing and better combustion. Some spacers can even add a swirl effect to incoming air/fuel mix. Good luck!

    This ad came from page you linked to. I have tried on of the units on my ex-2008 Toyota FJ to impressive results. Noticed more responsive throttle, more power overall, especially towing, and 2+ more mpg! I just got an 06 F150 and ordered new chip today. I hope it works as well as last time. I emailed GForce and asked if they could supply upgrade for our Troopers. I will let you know what the say.

  7. Does anyone have stock rims frt and rear for the trooper? and how much? also looking for a camo hood and camo left front fender? Please let me know. Thank you for your time.

    steveozz,

    I have a full set of what I think are stock wheels from my T4. It came w/set of 4- 15" rims & tires so I have all 5 (three front and two rear) 14" wheels and tires. Tires are not too great, though. My rig also came with new fenders so I may be able to let go of the old ones if you want it. I will check things over and get back to you with pics.

  8. Really? They have been telling me that same story for about 10 months now, I will believe it when I see it. I find it funny that JMC burned the one of the biggest dealers in the states.

    They just recieved their parts shipment and are checking things in and loading the shelves. My order should be filled on Monday or Tuesday (per lady that answered the phone 12-30-10 pm). Just as soon as they get everything (4 pallets) put away. If true then things are looking up for us Joyner fans!

    ***HAPPY NEW YEAR***
