Does anybody have a cab enclosure with heat? How do you like it? I like going to Western Md. in the snow 12-24" in the mountains. Do you think the Trooper can go in drifts 24" deep? We get the 4 wheelers stuck in the deep drifts, and after about an hour it gets mighty cold from the snow blowing in your face.

I've just got a canvas enclosure without heat and that's all good for me but I'm 3 hours from the nearest snow fall. Not to cold here. Welcome rockfish777 by the way.

Cheers Mike.

I have the cab enclosure but no heat ... the cab helps keep the wind off quite a bit mind you. As far as going through snow up to 24" deep I believe you're going to find it pretty rough going. I had my trooper out in the snow last winter and it always got stuck in the deep stuff .. hangs up in the centre. Now if you're riding some place where you can keep your speed up then that might be ok, but as soon as you slow down, expect to do some digging.

Good luck with your trip.

I installed a "Summit Racing SUM-991102" under the front of my trooper and used the duct kit to pipe it in. even without a cab it keeps me pretty warm at slower speeds with the windshield. I was a little concerned about coolant flow coming from the front of the head only but my worries have been put to rest so far. I am looking at having to tear down the motor this summer anyway after the air cleaner incident so I figured it would be a good time to gamble. Only problem I have is coming out of the hills doesn't work the engine hard enough to keep it warm. Drive faster I guess?? :P

We recently received 24" of snow in Central Virginia and used this as an opportunity to put the Trooper T2 through some of the worst.

In 24" of powdery snow the Joyner Trooper T2 will move and even go up slight hills. Once the snow became more dense, the front of the Trooper would compact the 24" of snow to the 14" of ground clearance and high center on the newly formed snow pack.

Snowplow Option for the Joyner UTV Line

Team Joyner just came out with a new snow plow option that retails in the $600 range. The blade is raised and lowered using your stock winch. With this snow plow on a Trooper T2, I was able to go through the deepest drift because I would set the blade to my skid plate height with it turned completely to the side. This accessory allowed me to assist the Red Cross in the rescue of an old lady stuck on a mountain where no 4x4 trucks were able to go.

Welcome Jake, the more dealers, the better for all of us and that's a great story about assisting the red cross. Thanks for the info on the snow plough too. What's the lastest on the 650cc engines, are they a gone burger? I had a look at your website and like the way you have set up your business with a different approach making it more personal and offering different services. I reckon you're do well.

Cheers Mike.

Welcome Jake and good job on the rescue. That had to bring some attention to the Trooper.

The rescue was in the remote mountains and was undocumented by any media. With so many missions that day, there wasn't any time to even think about taking some pictures.

It's not the Trooper nor the pictures but the rescue. It's getting harder these days to find people that are willing to consider someone else rather then their own personal greed. Again, good for you and you get a "That a boy". You know the old saying, if you get 1000 "That a boys" you get to have lunch with the boss. Unfortunately in todays world, if you get just one "Awl shit", you start all over again. :o:angry: I'm sorry, I just heard on CNBC that 38 companies gave out $150 billion last year in bonuses. A new record. :angry: This makes the good guys stand out and the bad guys even worse.

      Riding out today it acted like it ran out of gas,  stalled and died and would not start.   Towed back to house,  New  plug added this past month,  plenty of oil, getting plenty of gas, battery cranks good.   Trys to kick in and starts but doesnt.   Two days prior while sitting at a idle it died.  Added gas and it started did my ranch chores with it.  But just now it stalled out cranks but will not start.   Tried to find if fault codes came up on the clock like manual says but not sure I am doing that right.  Any and all help apprecated.  Thank you

      Looking for a output shaft for a Joyner trooper t2. Went to move the buggy after sitting all winter and it appears the out put shaft that drives the rear wheels broke off inside the transmission so looking for the shaft or a complete transmission if someone has one

      I recently bought an axis 500 and it’s missing a box or something the plug is L shaped I’ve looked through the wiring diagrams and still can’t figure it out. The plug is located right near the battery housing

      I'm thinking of buying a snow blade for my Coleman Outfitter 550 (Hisun with Coleman stickers).
      Has anyone purchased a snow blade that can offer the make and model they bought and any comments, pros  cons etc.?
      Not 100% sure I'm going to buy, as the selection of blades for this model seems a bit thin on line. 
      Thoughts and comments welcomed.
      Thanks in advance.

      I had to remove the relay for the dump bed due to it popping the fuse for main key power. I have tried to find a short but nothing seems to out of normal. I also disconnected the dump motor and switch and still pops the fuse. Also, when the machine is warmed up i get about 5 to 10 of work out of before it stalls. Once I can get it to start again I have to use the choke to keep it running.
