Joyner T2 sand tires


flatbed

Recommended Posts

Just got back from Gordon Wells. I put 1300x 15" paddles on the back and left the front tires stock. I could make it up test with it in 4 wheel drive with nothing locked up in 2 nd gear. The steepist part i could get about 7/8 up the hill. I could dune very easy in 3rd gear. With a good set of front tires you could probably go any where you wanted to. It would be nice to have just a litttle more hp.

I had a set of douglus wheels laying around with the 5 hole patern. 10" wide rims. I redrilled the holes for the correct bolt pattern. Tried the tires first with high air pressure so the tires would spin. The tires worked alot better with low preassure (no wrinkles in the walls) Water temp stayed around 190 the whole time. It was a blast beiing abable to break the back tires loose when turning going from bowl to bowl. The tires really help on the ground clearance issue. there was none.

Don't see where it would hurt you, it going to make the tire alittle taller but i think it would be close to the same as the 10s, usually i run a 12, just had these wheels laying around. I think the biggest help with your tires will be what you put on the front. With he stock tires i had it seemed like i was pushing them all the time. These things will go good in the sand with a tall tire and a good foot print.

I hit a rock today and put a big big hole in the front tire. I was able to crawl back 6 miles and the tire stayed on the rim did not ruin it. can I put Big Horns on the front and leave the POS Far East tires one the rear or will this cause issues when locked in 4 wheel drive?

4x4x454,

Yeah been there. While I was waiting for my spare to arrive I was climbing a hill with a huge rut down the the thing. Hit a rock and pop the bead on the left front tire. No damage except a flat tire. I was two mile off a 4x4 road with hills. I had cell service and called a friend that I ride dirt bikes with as he would be the only one that would know where I was. He started driving and I started walking carrying that stupid flat tire. Oh, did I say the tire was stupid, it was getting carried. Finally after walking for more than an hour I made it back to the 4x4 road. He finally arrived and took me back to the house for air. I left my brother guarding the T2. I loaded the inflated tire in my 4x4 pickup and head back out. I was able to get almost within a half mile. Arizona pin stripe all down the sides of my perfect painted pickup. Climbed the hill carrying the stupid tire, mount it back on the T2 and my brother drove it out. Total time nearly 5 hours. Phoned my dealer the next day and he pull tires from a in stock T2. One came with my T2 but after that ordeal I paid for a second. Never again since we do so much solo play.

We have the early model with the storage under both seats. T2 is loaded with everything one would need; lug wrench, jack, flares, space blankets, folding shovel, tow strap, first aid kit and tools. That is all under the passenger seat. Under the driver is the winch, tarp and legal papers in sealed plastic. When we go out we always carry water & snacks in the ice chest. We are prepared.

Sand stars work great in front.We can climb comp hill no proublum.They are only 26x12 but this gives you more power to climb.We use them front and rear.The 26 gives you that little more power.You will need spacers to fit the wheel's

I have a full set of four Aerospeed paddle tires for sale. 2 tires on 8" wide rims 25 x 12 and 2 tires on 10" rims 25 x 12. I ran these on my Joyner Trooper and like silverbullet said, they would pretty much go anywhere I was only stopped by the real tough hills. They are brand new, only used them twice. two have been patched, nothing serious and hold air, well, forever. They also have Green Slime tire sealant in them which keeps the thorns at bay. I'll take $250.00 for the set of 4. Being 12" rims, you will require 2" wheel spacers. I don't think shipping would be too bad but if you send me your Zip code, I check on a price.

      Does anyone know if you can adjust the front bench seat on an 850-5?  I am about 6' 2" and the legroom for me is almost unbearable.  My leg begin to cramp after a short distance.  I noticed there are what look like adjustable nuts under the seat but I am not sure if they are for adjustment.

      If you pay any attention to your UT400, you have probably noticed that the right front wheel tips in at the top a LOT.  The left fronts seem to be about right from what I've seen.  I look at them all when I'm at different stores just to see if they're all that way, and yes, they all seem to be that way.
      There "should" be adjustments on either the ball joints or the inner pivot points, but these are solid, not way to adjust them.
      I have the UT400 up on my 2-post lift and the right spindle seems to be around 3-deg tipped in at the top and the left spindle is about straight or maybe half a degree tipped in.  This is at full suspension drop, not ride height.  I took the shocks off and rotated the spindles from bottom travel to full max up travel, way more than the shocks will allow.  The higher the spindle lift, the more tip in there is on both spindles.  This is true because of the unequal upper and lower A-arms.  It's just the nature of of the dual A-arms and them being unequal in length.
      I took the inner pivot 8mm bolts out and inserted a lot smaller 1/4" bolts and pushed the lower A-arm inward and the angle on the spindle decreased.  I then took the top inner bolts out and did the same thing, but pulled out instead.  This got the spindle equal to angle of camber on the left side.  I used the offset in the holes to see how much I need to go on the lower alone.  I was also concerned about bottoming out the axle assembly because the spindle centerline will not be a bit closer to the front diff.  But as it all turned out, it was not close to bottoming out.
      I cut about 1/4" out of the two 1" A-arm tubes as they were welded to the lower ball joint mount casting.  I tack welded them back together and trial fit it all together.  That seemed to be about right.  I took it all back apart and welded it up solid.  Now it all looks to match the left side quite well.
      Also want to use this in our yard and the stock tires are NOT turf friendly, especially with the solid "spool" rear differential.  I found these on Amazon, 25x12-12" and 25x8-12" hard pack race tires as they're called.  They're 6-ply and tubeless.  The initial probably I had was that the size rating was not even close to the actual size.  They said, install and then recheck the diameters and I did.  They did get larger, but the rears are more than 1" smaller in diameter than the side wall stamping.  Instead of 25", they're 23.75" tall.  What I DON'T WANT are shorter tires.  I had already purchased the used wheels at 12" to match the original factory diameter, but in hindsight I would now opt for 14" wheels with 4x110mm bolt pattern and would have been able to find a tire in the 27" diameter range a lot easier and cheaper.  Live and learn they say.
      Here are some pictures of before and after.

      98% of my S X S riding of the mule is on a paved black top road.  I have gone through two sets of treaded UTV tires, current tires are Carlisle.  Size of the tires is 23 X 11 X 10 and they are worn out.  I tried to buy a street tireson the last set but these were somewhere in between and they didn't last on asphalt and were somewhat hard on my lawn.    I have been able to fing a street tread thus far to fit my Kawsacki mule.  Hs anyone else found a good tire for street use?  Even the cheap treaded tires are around $150 each.  A golf cart style tire might work but I don't believe they come in my size.
