upgraded brakes

I saw something on here and also on a youtube video about upgraded brakes . I have an 09 trooper , are the upgraded brakes for the early models or for all, also was it a campaign with parts provided for free ?

You should have the "upgraded" brakes on the 2009. Early 2008's had smaller rotors. The brakes still stink though. I upgraded my front calipers with brembo dual pistons with some improvement. Lenny has had the most success. He added an extra caliper in front. My next step will be to go to smaller master cylinders and try that. We have a automotive size master cylinders pushing ATV size brakes (too much volme, not enough pressure).

Rocmoc was going to switch his brake lines around so they are not criss-crossing, but I haven't heard if he has done that yet or the results.

I have my brakelines switched, 2 fronts on one master and 2 rear on the other. works good. I guess with the stock setup that if you were in 4x4 full lock out and one master cylinder went bad, you would still have brakes on all 4 wheels and you wouldn't be in 4x4 full lock unless you were trying to climb steep (or in mud) so this would make some sense. Switching the brakes would eliminate this marginal advantage plus 2 brakes won't stop it anyway. I have my parking brake on the driveshaft so I do have all 4 wheels braking if I'm in 4x4. Even if both of my masters go out, I still have good braking. Two calipers on each wheel is fairly easy and gives a lot better braking.

See the "Joyner Trooper dragging brakes" post for pictures of my brake setup.

      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

      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.

      Apparently, these are Hisun or at least they use Hisun engines. I can't find much info on them online yet.  Ran across a used one with just 100 miles on it as a very reasonable price.  Just curious.
      Okay, more info...they are owned by Textron Corp who also owns Bell Helicopter, Cessna & Beechcraft aircraft, Ez-Go & Cushman and Arctic Cat and a bunch of other companies.
      So are thy cheap Chinese crap machines or are they good to go?

      I have an older Bristers Trailwagon model TW11 with a Honda engine. I am trying to find a replacement muffler for it. It is an unusual muffler tapped in the center instead of the end with the heat shield welded on to it. Does anyone know where I can find a new one?
