Has anyone connected the calipers on the rear axle together emer. to service to get more brake power on the rear axle.

I did that a couple of years ago. Works real good. I also added a second caliper to the fronts. The stock master cylinder handles them fine. Before doing this, I was always consicous of the brakwes being weak and knowing that on a steep down hill they would be questionable. Now, I don't ever think of brakes no more then you do in your car. They just work.

Here are some pics that show what I added to the front to use a second caliper.

I converted my front drive shaft to one piece of DOM tubing and eliminated the center support bearing and all u-joints. I put the front disk off a motorcycle with dual calipers on the drive shaft and use that for my parking brake. Much much stronger. It easily has as much if not more stopping power then the regular dual brake setup. It does require aligning the engine perfectly with the front differential (real easy) but I had to add a polyethylene support at the disk to eliminate vibration and calipers must be 180 degrees across from each other. Eliminated about 25 pounds in the process.

      Joyner Trooper steering rack replacement
      By mixfixdave
      Since I’ve got about 7.5k mostly off-road miles on the old T4, the steering rack is pretty sloppy!
      Installed a new one pretty easily though…
      Had to use a new steering u-joint since the spline on the Joyner rack is a bit smaller/metric.
      Used Latest Rage part number AC425152
      and a 5/8”- 36 spline - 3/4 double D shaft.

      Product for notifying other riders of emergency?
      By JakeSkump
      So I was just thinking if there is a product out there you could use in multiple vehicles to notify your friends of an emergency.
      Ive got a couple of radios that we use to communicate while riding. Between music, engine, and/or wind noise they don’t exactly do the job unless stationary or expecting communication.
      Does anyone know of any products that use a light indicator of sorts? My thought is a dash mounted device, either one light or multiple lights assigned to each vehicle, that illuminate on all vehicles when someone has an emergency.

      Coleman Outfitter 400; Hisun HS400 front anti-roll bar...
      By cliffyk
      I had mentioned in a previous post that I had removed the front anti-roll bar from my 2020 Outfitter 400; I ran that way for a month or so without noticing any downside however recently I installed a 'suicide knob" (see below) to assist my Parkinson's disease affected arms in turning the beast--but after doing so i found that in the quicker, tighter turns the knob permitted the vehicle would nosedive a bit, dig in, and plow  on hard surfaces--not scary, but quite noticeably.
      So I put the bar back on. Then today I got about 1-1/2 miles down the main road on the nearby power lines, turned around and came home to take it off--with the bar on, at 25 to 30 MPH, the front-end of the beast jumped like rabbit at each bump in either wheel rut., for a nearly brutal and quite uncomfortable ride. the bar (20 mm solid steel) is far too robust for the weight of the vehicle. The front bar on my 3900 lb. Infinity M37 is 30 mm...
      suicide knob--for you younger folks:

      Coleman 400 UTV Help
      By Heidi Wilmoth
      You will quickly see that I am new to this and don't quite know how to pose this question. I gave myself a Coleman 400 UTV for my 65th  birthday a month ago."To Yaya: From Yaya" I've noticed a couple issues. First, as I drive around our acreage, sometimes it just putters, almost sounds like it's going to turn off. The other issue is the lights on the dashboard that correspond with forward, neutral and reverse don't match up to the actual gear. Sometimes it does but most of the time it doesn't. What I mean is that when I put it in forward to drive, the reverse light will be on the dashboard light. Sometimes it will be the forward light. When I put it in Neutral, sometimes the light on the dashboard /N lights up and sometimes it doesn't. Lastly the gas gauge does not register. Although the tank is almost full, it shows E / Empty.
