Im new to the side by side thing. I have been into atvs for a long time. Right now all I have is a 2-stroke yamaha golf cart with a 6 inch lift. Im looking into a side by side cause im feed up with getting stuck and not having the pulling ability. I dont know which one to get. I want a diesel 4x4. It would only have to be a 2 person unit. It would be used around the farm. Is there a lift kit for them? Which one do yall suggest??? Definatly diesel!!! I love diesel power. Im currently installing a 12v cummins into my 1999 f-250 ford super duty with a 5.4 gasser. A few years ago I built a suzuki samuri. It has a d-50 dodge diesel, 4 link suspension in back, roll cage, jeep cherokee axles, fully hydro steering, and 33" tsl boggers.

That's a cool project Cummins in Ford... I'm in planning stages for doing same to my buddy's 79 f350..... about diesel utv well the only diesel ones i know about are for mostly work like bobcat kubota and few others. It would be great if we had diesel option but there's few of us that already have or is going to swap another engine into our utv (team joyner trooper t2) but i recommend you shop around... There's lot of information here

One of shop that sell parts for t2 is in process of swapping in different engine... I was considering doing an v6 swap for the torque

Like Charlie said.. There's ton of stuff out for polaris and Yamaha and other mainstream brands.

I have had no experience with any other UTV and I was wanting a rzr4 then one day on way home drive this trooper t2 caught my eye and rest is history.

My advice for u is to go to dealers and try to test drive few or maybe u can get lucky and someone would let u try out their UTV and then u should see if there's Parts that u want for the UTV.

I said that last part because when I got t2 home I started looking for aftermarket parts and couldn't find much at first until this Forum everyone came up with their own ideas.

Whatever u chose, enjoy it and feel free to come back to just say hello or whatever u want.

Good luck on finding a utv

      I have a 2021 UV34XL and I am kind of looking to change it up from the orange wheels and maybe do a wrap?  Please share photos of any XLs that has been modified to look better and any seat covers recommended.thanks

      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.
      By rdc
      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

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

      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...
