Tempting, but it still has the cheap plastic gears, right? Or has it been updated?

I've worked a simple system to switch from 2x4 to 4x4. I'll be rigging it up in the next few days and will post pics.

Why don't you put it up on ebay? I'm sure it'll sell.

Thanks Joyner performance, I'll take a look.

I've received a PDF from joyner on the new system, as per attached file. It's in Chinese, but the diagrams are clear. It's an easy build, or oyu can order the parts by part #.

I've decided to use a threaded rod to activate the pin. Once it's all done I'll send in pics.

At the moment, I've cut the electric housing enough to allow me to turn the main gear BY HAND to connect or disconnect the 4x4.

The Kit is complete.Easy to install Is is a cable system.I have posted a picture of dash leaver it works just like joyner system but is easy to install.With the joyner system you had to remove front drive shaft and replace the nose cone.Our system just replaces the elect unit and install manual cable to dash.It has no gears no plastic all manual kit.And no removing driveshaft or replacing nose cone.1 year warranty

Do you have a webpage?

I'd imagine you'd have to use a lever system at the differential, as the pin is springloaded to come out, not in. I already have a home-made system in place, but would prefer somthing better.

I'd like to make sure of what I'm buying before I actually do purchase it. Can you send me a pic to my email paul_neto (at) hotmail (dot) com

The other option is to put this listed for sale on ebay, and send me the link.

Way overpriced. Especially because we are only needing it because joyner put out POS system in the first place. Thanks joyner. I can

get a beautifully manufactured OX Shifter & cable for less.

As dealers we recived buggy as they came.Sorry that the box was not vary well though out.But all i can say is that the kit takes about 2 1/2 hours to fab + parts so thats way we charge this price.We sell kits to many customers and had no complant.This is a hobby for me and like to make things for Joyners.

Thanks

Disagree! The unit works well but needs to be waterproofed. Even with the major off-road toys manufactures, Honda, Yamaha & others, you have always had to waterproof and continue waterproofing. I raced many of them thu the years in wet weather. Mine Joyner unit worked great but I never played in the water. If you notice where electrical issues are arising on the Trooper, it is mostly in areas where people play in water or wet weather. Where do they come for quality older cars, dry climate. Water is a killer!

To Rocmoc:

When I took everything apart, I was astounded that tiny plastic gears (especially the one with the 5/16 drive gear) is what pushed a high tension pin in. It lasted 2k. I'm impressed. I expected it to last 2 minutes. This wasn't water damage, it was cheap design. I find better quality gears on toy cars, and it's uncharacteristic of the quality of everything else. Of course, this is IMO. Lenny is the tech guru, maybe he has a better idea of what these gears can take.

To Joyner Performance:

You can't expect anyone to buy something on word alone - i.e. it's great! You need to provide pics of what people will be purchasing.

To Lenny: I'm still drooling over your machine.

I'll take $26,000 for it. Not because I want to sell it, I really don't. But I would really like to design one from scratch and I can't do that and keep the Trooper at the same time. I've got more then that into it not including the hundreds and hundreds of hours of time. Would love to build one with a diesel engine. About 140 hp and 230 foot pounds of torque. 24" of suspension and about the same size as the Trooper. Would like to get it in at about 1400 lbs. Want to try some things I have never seen done before. I guess I can dream. Besides what I already have is really fast and handles flawless thru most anything going slow or very fast. You have got to be real serious to want to put $26,000 into a trooper. It just happened over time and I loved every minute of it and don't regret any of it.

Not drooling that much, hehe. If I weren't here full time volunteering at my own cost, I'd be back home. With my Ducati.

I don't imagine you would be. That is a lot of money. I'm not really serious, Just wanted to see how many would say I was nuts. It's really a self supporting hobby for me. Over the years, I've sold enough upgrades to pretty well pay for everything. Kinda figure that if I make a buck because I have a Trooper, I get to spend it on my Trooper. I would like to some day build one from scratch, with a diesel, but not now.

Skoda makes a new car with a 3 cyl diesel. The 1.2 litre engine makes 83 freakin miles per gallon.

http://www.nextgreencar.com/view-car/27146/SKODA-Fabia-Estate-Diesel-Manual-5-speed

I want the engine for my VW Spacefox. I know, the name is curious, but I was told they named it after Spaceballs.

In all seriousness, yours is an awesome machine and you obviously know your stuff.

When I worked in Canada, I had open access to all the (idle) machines in the tool and die shop I worked in, and had tons of fun fabricating pieces for my motorcycles. Now, I have a file and hacksaw, and a local machine shop with a half-dozen machinists with no tools, and unable to read them even if they could. I've worked on their machines at times, but they have NO MILLING MACHINE. How can they have a machine shop without a milling machine??? The owner doesn't even know WHAT IT IS. EGAD.

Ahhh, so this is Rick. I thought it was Joyner USA. Did you post that somewhere or were we just supposed to know??? I was trying to beat them up for a lower price. I also thought it was weird that it looked like the exact same unit as the one you were selling when you were with Silverbullet. I think it is a high price. That is is just my opinion. I am glad you are making aftermarket stuff for Joyners. I wish there were more of you. I just think the price point is high by about $20-$30.

      trying to finish assembly "new" 2021 Coleman ut 400
      By buckrub
      Hey guys! Newbie here. I'm an old man who's better with plowing a mule (4-legged kind) than these newfangled beasts. I, and a friend of mine, just bought new Coleman sxs and are having to finish the assembly. I've been reading on this site and I'm falling on the mercy of you experts. The only way I'm an expert is that an "ex" is a has been, and a spurt is a drip under pressure. LOL First off, the 2 buggies have no ignition switches. They seem to mount on the dash, not the opening in the steering wheel shaft cover, so we ordered new ones that are supposed to fit. They are 8 inches long, and have a 4-wired white plugin which is slightly rectangled when looking at the end of the plug. The trouble is there's nothing to plug into. There is a three-wire grey plug close enough to reach the four-wire plug, but of course, they are not compatible. 
      Secondly, the blinker, light, ect. unit on steering wheel just spins around when touched. I see no way in heaven or earth to secure it. I've looked at a diagram on the Powersports site, but can't detect how it mounted. Fellows I'd be so grateful for any help with this. Me and my mule will even plow your garden for free, for your help. LOL

      Hi, 
      I'm in Australia and need to replace the footbrake pads and cable (weak point if you ask me, bad design), plus might as well get the main brakes done at the same time.
      Anyone know an Aus dealer, or, know the parts number or equivalent in the petrol version?
      Cheers.

      New AMP Pro Owner

      Just received delivery of a 2024 AMP Pro.  Thought I'd start a thread with my impressions as I use it and learn more.  There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of real-world usage information out there on this model.  Hope this will help others as they research.
      Intended Use Cases
      Fire mitigation / slash removal from a 5 acre forested and well-gamble-oaked property.  The previous owners thought as much about fire mitigation as I do about fashion: not much. Snow removal Stump pulling General hauling (rock, lumber, etc.) Weimaraner energy depletion.  Wasn't an original use case, but a nice added bonus.  Experiences So Far
      Wasn't impressed that two of the bumpers on the underside of the bed where it sits upon the frame were missing.  The metal on metal contact has damaged the powder coating and the frame.  I expect a little better QC.
      I've only put a few hours on it, so not a ton to report on usage.  It isn't quiet; it's silent.  I can't even detect an electric note from the motor. I removed (and subsequently replaced) the motor cover noticed that the motor is German and made by Schambuller.  The motor controller is Italian and made by Dana TM4.  Given the operating specs of both I found on the web, I suspect both are higher quality than the previous Navitas (which is supposed to be decent).  The motor is rated at 25 hp and 71.5 lb-ft of torque.  It feels very powerful.  All the torque is delivered instantly, if desired.
      The bed is huge and has an electric dump as standard.  Great feature but would like it to go up a bit more.  Probably not feasible from an engineering perspective, but I want and I need ;).
      Power steering is nice, but vague.  Probably common to many UTVs, but I am accustomed to more direct results from input.  Plan early and plan often.
      In our first full day of usage, we hauled about 1/2 as much slash as the entire rest of the year when I was doing it by hand cart.  I may get fatter, but I'll also get more done.  After a few days of usage, the battery meter has gone down by 1/10th. 
      Until next time...

      2022 Massimo t-boss 550 timing parts
      By doncaron
      Hello 
      I have a 2022 Massimo t-boss 550. I’m looking for a fix for my timing problem. It keeps getting out of timing. Now I’m trying to find the proper parts for the linhai motor. I’m looking for tensioner chain and gear. If there’s anything else I can do to fix this issue please let me know. Unfortunately I can’t afford to get something better so I got to get it fixed. Thanks in advance. 
      Don
