hello, I just purchased an 09 trooper t2 to ride in SE Missouri. there's not many of these around here and everyone is really impressed with it. your posts on here have really helped with working out some of the kinks with this thing. Ive got the differential upgrade kit on the way and still need to find tie rod ends and rear shocks (soon). does anyone know if there's an automotive cross for the tie rod ends? also I'm leaning towards the fox 2.0 8.5" shocks has anyone found anything more economical for general trail riding. thanks for all the helpful info on here.

mz225, how much did you find the fox shocks for and where?

So far eBay is the only place that has them in stock. I'm still waiting on a price for springs but shocks were 429.00 for the pair.

Bought mine at Off Road Warehouse, http://offroadwarehouse.com/products/sfID1/12. They also are online. There is a whole topic about my Fox shocks.

from reading the previous threads it looks like everyone is using dual springs around 400/600 lb. but when i talked to nick at offroadwarehouse he said they normally sell single rate springs for these with 350 lb for the t2 and 400 lb for the t4. is anyone using these fox 2.0 8.5 in. with the single rate springs. im not sure the 350 lb would be enough. i'm just looking for a better replacement for my blown out rears without spending a whole lot and i guess the single rates would be cheaper but i hate to give up a lot of performance for a couple hundred bucks difference.

I am running the Fox 8.5 but hot the coil-over. Still running just the single Joyner stock springs. I am very happy with the improvement. Lenny or Flatbed will have to jump in to sale you on the duel springs. Personally I believe the Joyner Stock setup while was very good and better than the rest of the UTV field was stiff, had too much pre-load, had too much N2 & lacked sufficient damping causing the shock blow-outs.

      Looking for a left rear shaft carrier (just the carrier) for a 2007 Joyner 1100 sand viper
      By rdc
      Hope I posted this in the right place. Looking for the left side shaft carrier where the rear bearings go for an 1100cc sand viper, I understand an 800 cc carrier will also work. I need the old style two bearing with the spacer in the middle, the new style with just the one wide bearing wont work. If anybody has one I'll buy it right away. my email is [email protected]

      Is Your HISUN Loud?
      By HISUN Sector 750 EPS Failu
      "Mrs. Smith" doesn't like how loud our Sector 750 is.  On a HISUN forum someone said the same thing about his 750.  I haven't given it much thought because I've been more focused on stuff that has broken.
      So, I used my decibel meter to check ours out.  4000 RPM, Low gear, under 20 MPH . . . . 97 decibels.  That's above most ordinances, even state boat noise limits.
      AI Overview Ninety-seven (97) decibels is considered very loud and dangerous to hearing with prolonged exposure, roughly equivalent to a newspaper press, a loud nightclub, or a snowmobile. At this level, damage can occur after just 30 minutes, necessitating hearing protection

      Must have upgrades/spares?
      By MilSurpYinzer
      Hey all, I was just wondering what you guys consider a necessary upgrade or spare part to have or mod onto your machine.
      I'm going for a kind of shtf survival rig that's not going to be SUPER heavy and I'm looking at getting:
      A spare belt (I keep seeing this mentioned everywhere I look so it must be important)
      A spare tire and mount( So would I need a jack like one from an old jeep or something else?)
      Tire chains for the winter
      And maybe a cargo bed upgrade so things don't slide out.
      Bumpers because duh.
      I already installed high output lights and have a windshield, roof, back window, and winch. And I outfitted a Molle panel for the back of my passenger seat with extra supplies like food, first aid, and spare mags.
      Any advise on increasing durability, longevity, and having something on hand because it's absolutely necessary would be a plus.
      Thanks so much!
