new to the forum, had a 08 trooper t2 for 3 years and was online looking to see what was availabe for upgrades, seemed to find the most info on this site. have added 30" ZILLA's and a set of QA1 coil overs. i have ordered a silver bullet fuel controller and air / fuel ration gauge. i hope it performs as advertised. have had to replace the 4 wheel shifter ( was full of water ) and the fuel sender crapped out on the last ride. currently have about 1350 miles on it and my only real beef with it is all the rattles, they seem to pop up everywhere, fix 1 and you find a new one the very next day. thinking about power steering, does anyone have any recomendations on this ?

thanks

Welcome.

I had a '08. Yes they have more rattles than the rest because they used more wielded metal in the panels. What I had to do was caulk ALL the seams, floors, storage compartments under the seats (they were the worst), everywhere you can get to with the caulk (just get a good quality outdoor CLEAR caulk from Home Depot or local hardware store). Took care of most of the rattles except in the steering. That requires Lenny's steering upgrade kit or replace the steering rack. Hang in there, you will get most of them.

thanks rocmoc, winter is coming up here in alberta and i dont ride it in the snow, i think this winters projects will be to try your caulking, get the steering rack looked after and hopefully find a good electric power steering kit to install. i am also having the same oil pressure problem many other talk about so i think the cooler add on is in order.
