I think that this is a great idea. Let me know how you would title it and where you think it should go.

I'll start the ball rolling.

Did you here about the constipated mathematician? _ _ _ _ _ _ He worked it out with a pencil!

Hi Guys I'm really excited about this new forum. Thank you for letting me know about it.

G'day Cinda, new site, new people and an environment were we can discuss our UTVs normally. Lets hope we can raise the popularity of this new Forum and grow with them.

Cheers Mike.

Brostar, I notice from your pictures that there are subtle differences in our rigs, Steering wheel, is you horn in the dash like mine or in the steering wheel, my winch is higher and can't be moved to the rear, and on the deck of cargo bed, my floor is above the support bars.

Kinarfi, your model is the upgrade or 2008.5. Yours is better all round with the improvements that Joyner have made. My horn is in the dash and my deck of the cargo bed is solid checker plate steel. Your design is obviously a lot lighter in the rear. You should be able to take your winch out of the front if needed for the rear. It's about a ten minute job. I like the graphics on the new model too.

Cheers Mike.

This is my 2008 Joyner Trooper. The engine is a 1100cc 4 cylinder, 16 valve, 86 h/p, EFI with five speed manual Transmission and front & rear diff lockers. The suspension set up is Double A-Arms in the front with 10" travel & Boxed Trailing Arms on the rear with 12" travel. Brakes are Hydraulic Disc all around with Dual Callipers on the rear. As well as having the biggest engine in UTVs it has also got the biggest foot print with a length of 127", 65" wide and 69" high and a big 13" plus ground clearance. The towing capacity is 2000lbs.

1st gear is a granny gear and I find myself in 2nd, 3rd & 4th most of the time. 5th gear is good for coming home on metal roads. With the Trooper's length and width it is very comfortable on rough terrain with it's suspension seats. This is a big UTV so it's not every bodies choice but for climbing, ripping through mud or a good level of comfort at speed and safety with a 5 point harness, that's what I chose.

Cheers Mike

I just joined and as I had a UTV that didn't have it's own section, I made a request and it was granted. Thanks (or as we say where I'm from, on yar mate)utv board, that shows us all you are pro-active.

Cheers Mike

I had just joined Quadcrazy when I saw a post on there talking about this site & thought I'd give it a go. I haven't looked around yet but with UTV people talking UTV issues, I know I'll like it here. I've copped a fear bit of flack on one or two other sites with my choice of UTVs, a Joyner Trooper. The Trooper seems to be in the category of loving it or hating it with no inbetween. What ever you think of them, I look forward to getting to no you all.

Cheers Mike.
