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.

      Looking for the left side shaft carrier where the rear bearings go for a 2014 1100cc sand viper, I understand an 800 cc carrier will also work.

      I posted this before , but I had the year wrong. The part I need is for a 2014, I don't know what all years will work, but I need the 2 bearing style with the spacer in the middle. It looks like this pic. If anyone has one I'll buy it rite away. my email is [email protected]. Thanks, RC

      I just purchased a 2023 Honda Pioneer a couple of weeks ago and had the hard roof and a front Honda Pioneer windshield installed at the shop before taking ownership. As things are drying up here in NC, the grass and dust are beginning to fly right through the back of the cab while driving. I was wondering if anyone has any good recommendations on rear windshields, dust panels, or mesh screens to help stop this?
      Thanks a lot!

      Looking for a left rear shaft carrier (just the carrier) for a 2007 Joyner 1100 sand viper

      Hope I posted this in the right place. Looking for the left side shaft carrier where the rear bearings go for an 1100cc sand viper, I understand an 800 cc carrier will also work. I need the old style two bearing with the spacer in the middle, the new style with just the one wide bearing wont work. If anybody has one I'll buy it right away. my email is [email protected]

      I heard there's several off road festivals out that way. One or two post apocalyptic, the rest just rev and run. Anyone know a good one that offers camping? Any advice for out of state people like hauling, legality, and where to stay?
      Ideally me and the missus would be down for camping out and setting up shop somewhere nearby. That way we can just wake up, load up, and ride.

      I just purchased a Massimo MSU500 and no manual came with it so I have some questions. looking for part #'s and availability of basics like spark plug air and fuel filter. What is the valve adjustment specifications? 
        Is there a fuel drain? It's been sitting, low mileage but I want to drain out the old fuel and put fresh.
