OK new to the forum great info

I just bought a used trooper. it had been wrecked. I replaced rollcage, both rear swing arms, rear axle, water pump,etc. Runs strong and i am still feeling good about it, but on the first trip out this happened.

I read thru some of the shock posts and will be replacing. are the stock shocks that cheap or was this just one of those things? post-472-1260452545_thumb.jpgpost-472-1260452545_thumb.jpg

Az Bound I would be interested I really only need the one if I am going to stay stock (but then again maybe a few spares aren't a bad idea :D ). How much do you want for it?

The crazy thing is i didn't even realize it happened till i stopped. I noticed the shock was leaking after being out for a little while so i started heading back to the truck went down a pretty rough hill but nothing to crazy and drove another few 100 yards to the truck got out was walking aroung then noticed it. it was wierd :huh: .

Damn really all 4 that is cool thanks :o . Gilbert is about an hour south of phoenix and is about 250 miles one way I am not sure when i can find time to get up there there, any chance your buddy would drop them at a UPS store and i'll pay the shipping and something for the trouble. I check with the UPS store in Bullhead they said i can pay for shipping over the phone if he'll drop them there. (here you are hooking me up and i am asking for more <_< not very cool so i understand if that doesn't work but like i said i can do something for the trouble.)

Welcome!

Still want to know what you hit, jumped, flew off of or over. Wow, what happened!

rocmoc n AZ/Mexico

I think what happened, the is the the shock started to to fail It was leaking at one point and the bottom seal have slipped out then the plunger must have slip out causing it jam or freeze the shock and so it had to give somewhere. I am just lucky it broke the way it did. I havn't taken apart yet will try to do this weekend and i see if a can tell anymore. I am still just hoping nothing else is wrong. swing arm or what have you.

Wow that is interesting, can you take another close up photo of the bent part of the shock, in your photos, I can see where the end came out and that would have allowed a misalignment of everything and cause it to bend. Ick

Got the schocks thanks for your help. Gordy was very helpful and i hope he like buffolo wild wings. I put them on and should be back on the road soon.

Interesting thing is they were about and inch shorter and this is going to cost some ground clearance.

Does anyone know if the t-2 vs t-4 front shocks are differnt sizes or can someone get me a messurement on a t-2 stock shock. Is there any other concerns with running a shorter schock?

OK here what i found out. The older modle had a 20" shock and the new modles have an 18" I have the 18" on but it is costing alot of ground clearance. I talk to HJoyner and the 20" are on back order and sounded like it maybe a long time. I am going to start looking into other options. any suggestions.

      New 2020 Coleman Outfitter UT400 Owner with questions
      By KidColeman
      Hi All,
      Just picked  up a 2020 UT400 that my 80 year old father will be driving around the farm.  We purchased the machine with a few "issues" and they lowered the price accordingly.  Small stuff like passenger size mirror and back reflector was torn off by a Tractor supply employee, which we will order replacements for.  Also after further inspection, whoever assembled it did not put a few bolts in the rollcage and aren't in the glovebox, so will be having to order those also.
      Anyway, there are two initial things on the UT400 I'm not sure what they are or for.  The first, there is a square white electrical connector with about 8 pins hanging form under the middle of the back bed - I don't see another one to match up or plug into it, so wondering if this is pre installed optional connection for like towing around a sprayer?  Anyone know what this is?  Also, there is a 10 inch black rubber hose that is zip tied to the back A frame on the passenger side.  I watched the assembly video and it doesn't mention one, so don't know what this hose is for - anyone know?
      Also, has anyone come up with a "fix" or work around for having to have the seatbelts plugged in or even in place?  We aren't planning on using them and are figuring just plugging them in and wedging them behind the seats - didn't know if there is a way to just disconnect the "over 10mph gas starving" safety sensor.
      Looking forward to seeing how this machine does for my father.   I'm thinking about installing a suicide knob on it for easier turning for him, as it's a little stiff (compared to our Kawasaki Mule).  Maybe with use it will loosen up some?
      Thanks!

      CFMOTO and Potential Motors announce industry-first ADAS technology for OHVs
      By Alex
      This is an interesting read. ADAS is main stream on cars these days. The technology looks to be headed towards UTVs and Off-Road Vehicles.
      Potential Motors and CFMOTO USA have announced a new partnership to integrate advanced driver-assist systems (ADAS) into recreational off-road vehicles for the first time.
      Sam Poirier, CEO and co-founder at Potential Motors, says the integration of its technology into CFMOTO’s vehicles will set new standards in the side-by-side segment. (Photo: Potential Motors Inc.) The partnership will first see Potential’s tech integrated into CFMOTO test vehicles. The companies will conduct extensive real-world testing at Potential’s purpose-built off-road proving ground in Fredericton, Canada, and CFMOTO facilities.

      New AXIS 550
      By Greg Kilgore
      Was at Lowe's over the weekend. The wife and I seen they have a new Axis 550. That thing is sharp. Has a complete door. Speakers in door. Bigger engine. Bench seats. New styling all the way around. Looks to be more air tight than my 2022 model. I really like the looks but $10k is out of my price range for now. Unless I could sell mine. And the resale on the Axis 500 is nothing.
      Went to the local wally world today. See a 4 person Polaris General 1000 on the back of a trailer. That Polaris looked exactly like a stretched version of the Axis 550. Even down to the vents in the windshield.
      Just wondering if anyone can confirm or deny the Axis 550 is a copy of the Polaris?

      Hisun Sector 450 (2021) - help diagnose rear diff issue (short video included)
      By camojay
      When we first heard the noise, we immediately stopped driving it...at first we thought it might be a linkage issue, but after further inspection looks like the sound/jolting is coming from the rear diff. Took a video below...
      Anyone know what is creating the diff to skip/jump like this? We drained the diff oil and didn't look terrible, no metal.
      Other info that may be useful:
      1400 miles on it
      Recently tightened the E brake
      P.s. never posted on this forum before, let me know if the video does not work

      Good mornin' all. Just joined.
      By diamondjfarm
      I got an old 2003 Arctic Cat 375 Auto, and just bought a 2008 AC 650 side by side. Got a new starter, solenoid, and battery for the 650. Gonna change the crankcase oil and filter while I'm at it.
      Anything I oughta watch out for from them that's done the starter/solenoid on this model?
      Don't have a manual yet for the 650. Any recommendations for oil weight/grade?
      Thanks.
