Hey everyone, just wanted to say hi and ask a few questions. I just purchased a new 2012 trooper as my deployment gift. I havent been able to ride it yet as I'm still deployed. LOL But I was wondering if a 15x7 wheel with 4.5 back spacing will work? I tried searching but couldnt find the answer. Also does anyone know if the differentials need to be upgraded on a 2012 model?

The wheels should work fine. If your planing on redrilling for the bolt spacing, be sure the wheels have a flat center. Can't tell you about the differential. Nobody has reported yet. If it does and you don't, you can destroy the diff. I would remove it and it and pull the cover off it and see if the ring and pinion gear line up. Also see if there is more then a few thousands play in the gear meshing including the spider gears. Also look for surplus end play. The bolts holding the ring gear on should be grade 12.9 and be securred on with red Loc-tite or simular along with a secondary way of keeping the bolts from loosening like metal clips or locknuts.

      UTV Odes Ravager 1000cc - Strange noise from the back
      By Ermd ttk
      Hello friends,
      I got my ODES Ravager UTV yesterday and after a couple of hours of driving when I go downhill I heard a strange loud noise a couple of times, like a gear skipping or maybe something from the differential.
      It doesn't always happen and when it does it is heard for a few seconds and then it goes away and everything works normally, I'm worried if there could be some major malfunction or what could be the problem if someone can help me?
      Thanks a lot.

      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
