I can't walk by my Trooper without taking a second look! I have never bought a single thing in my life that I didn't later modify from stock form. I have always put my signature on everything I owned, something to seperate it from the rest of the herd. When researching UTV's I read all of the problems with the different models. It did just so happen that the Trooper did seem to have the majority of them, but it was also far less money. With everything to consider there was one key word that seperated it from all of the other UTV's on the market:

TUBE CHASSIS!

That was all I needed to know. With that I knew that no matter the problem I could modify, customize, and retrofit anything my mind came up with--the sky is the limit! Add in the great 85hp Chery motor and it was a done deal for the price. Would I like to have a RZR XP? Sure, but not for $20k after taxes and fees. Besides, I would get bored being the king of the hill and not having something to shoot for. My original goal was to compete with my buddy's RZR4 & RZR S. We currently go tit for tat in everything we compete in with our UTV's--except for sticker price :P I can only imagine the improvements I could make to my Trooper if I invested the money that they had into their RZR's.

ITS DIFFERENT! When I go out with my buds, nobody goes up to see their UTV's. RZR's are a dime a dozen. They all walk over to see the massive 30" tires on my Trooper. Then they comment on the 4 cylinder motor, then the axles, then the stick shift, then the lockers, then the size, etc, etc!

I just felt I had to share my enthusiasm for my Trooper after some of the bashing we have given it lately. If and when Joyner USA gets up and running again the values of our Troopers will increase significantly. I wish them the best of luck! The only dowside is we won't be the only Troopers out there anymore :( Heck, maybe our 2008 & 2009 Troopers will become collector cars--JK--LOL

I haven't even gotten mine out on the trail yet. Thanks to you guys I know some of the things I need to address first to remain safe and prolong the parts on my Joyner. But I am excited and nothing written about has really scared me away from them. As stated before everything has its issues. I'd rather have one with support from guys like on the website here with the potential that the joyner has. I also love the price point and like the added size as I am 6'2" and fit with plenty of room in my trooper.

The more I play and work on my trooper the more I love it too. The only time I lose to my dads rzr4 is on steep technical rock crawling but I just bought the fuel controller so maybe I can get that low end grunt I need to beat him there too.

      2019 Cub Cadet Challenger 400, trailer to transport the Challenger, and new, never used winch for sale
      By RBonds007
      I bought this SxS brand new.  A couple of years after I bought it, I became disabled.  Thus it has only 47 miles and around 16 hours of use.  I have no need to keep the SxS.  I am in Foley, Alabama.  It is very hard for me to get in out of the Challenger.  I would like to sell the set, 2019 Challenger 400, trailer and uninstalled winch (this was bought brand new as well, someone was supposed to help this newbie install and we never got around to doing this). I want  $6500 for the whole set OBO (Serious offers only).

      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!

      New to UTV's. Have ? MidSouthTNarea
      By Dewayne jones
      Just bought new 2024 AODES 650 work cross 2 seated for my dad and he's very resilient at 79 and still cuts trees, splits and hauls firewood for heating home. He's begun using Polaris ATV with wagon more over his 80's toyo4x4 flatbed after the wood has been split. I figured UTV would be easier, more practical at times and more fun. It does not have a heater and would like suggestions on one that best suits his. He's tough but gets chilled easy now and a heater would make joyriding much better at this time of year. I Have found nothing that specifically Says it's made for this particular UTV I don't know what to make of the More generic Hacher versions Or how adaptable they are. I've read They have come from the factory with Heaters but It says nothing about Adding

      Hisun / Axis Warranty How many others have had this problem
      By TimsBrickHouse
      DO NOT BUY ANY THING FROM HISUN Period! I had the axis 700 for 2 months when a rat or squirrel ate both wiring harnesses. (Main & ECM)Wanna know why? Because the manufacture of these things in their infinite wisdom use either, a soybean oil or a peanut oil to run the wires through the the wire loom. Hmmm i wonder why they would be inclined to eat the wires. So now I have $10K machine that I've only had for 2 months when all this happened and they will not warranty it at all. It is going to cost me $800 to $1000 to get this fixed. Here is a link to a video showing where we took our Hisun notice how many are there:

      So counting mine, there are 16 of Hisun Axis on the lot that i took in for authorized dealer, with the exact same problem, plus other troubles that the mechanic explained to me. This particular place told me they are not going to work on them anymore. I will be posting this in as many places as possible to reach the masses. I hope its worth Hisun!
