Hi all, I am in the market for a Utv, I have really been thinking about the trooper, the question is if it is possible to add a rear bench seat or 2 beard seats like on a rhino. I like the trooper package but really want to add a rear seatfor my daughter and i dont want the lenght hat comes with the t4. Are there any rear seats offered or would i be able to add one, I am able to tig weld and have a full machine shop at my acess but am wonder if the seat would fit or if it would mess up the weight balance with people in it ?

Thanks Anthony

Well we went to Berts Mega Mall to take a look at them and we really liked what we saw. I am going to wait til after X-mas put am planing getting the T2. I will have it at my buddys sand car shop to build a rear cage,brush gaurd,adding to the front cage and building doors. I am also going to get with my friend who owns beards seats and see if they have something for the rear or see about building a seat to fit the trooper.

Be careful about putting things on the trooper you don't need, the car is already heavy. I am geeting ready to do my front shock mounts, i am going to get rid of some of the tubbing in the front tha you don't need. I lowered my rear diff so that is going to let me lower my radiator which will let me lower the rear deck for the rear seat. everything i do i keep in mind that i am trying to loose weight. If you are goingh to do anything, change the shocks, it makes a huge difference.

I want the back seat just to put my daghter in to cruise around but nothing crazy with her. I want the doors for a bit of saftey while thrashing in the desseret. the doors would only be a 3/4 or 1 inch thin wall tube as a frame and alumn skin.

Do ou have details about lowing the diff or whats required

you need some tubing 1 1/4 and some tabs so you don't have to use the old ones. cut the old crossmembers out, lower the diff with the drive-line hooked up, make shure you can get all the bolts out and start welding it back in. As far as the doors the trooper is not like most utv's it is pretty hard to roll and have your legs come out. Where you notice the extra weight is in the sand, try to keep extra weight off.

      Do you wear a helmet when riding your side-by-side UTV?
      By hdtran
      That's the question! Or, if you want to add details:
      (a) How do you use the UTV? (roads? off-road to get to trees? etc.)
      (b) If you are wearing a helmet--how frequently? What type of helmet?
       
      My own answers: (a) Most of the time off-road to get to downed trees, cut the trees to logs and haul the logs back for splitting. (b) Very rarely, a ski helmet and not a motorcycle helmet.

      Which UTV?
      By The Road Hound
      Hi, 
      New to the forum. 
      Came here looking for some experienced UTV users who can enlighten me about which brand should I pick for my very first UTV or SXS. 
      I'm between 3 brands and 3 models: 
      *Kawasaki MULE PRO-FXR   1000.
      *Yamaha wolverine rmax2. 
      *Can am Commander XTP. 
      The use I'm willing to give it is mostly to go to the range with my wife, load steel targets and all our shooting gear, we shoot a lot, rifles, Shotguns and Handguns for practice, training and competition. (Range is about 10 miles from home) 
      But also I want something that I can take to the trails and have fun on dirt, mud, rocks, puddles or creeks. 
      Any objective information will be appreciated, specially which is more reliable and durable. 
      Thank you and happy 4th of July.

      Hisun 700 Rear Driveshaft to Engine Boss Removal
      By djl
      Hi All.  The splines are pretty well worn where the rear driveshaft fits into the adapter (boss?) on the rear of the engine.  I have a new driveshaft / adapter / seal to install but am having difficulty loosening the nut holding the adapter onto the transmission output shaft.  I purchased a chain-type vice grip tool thinking that I could get it around the adapter to prevent it from turning but have not had any luck getting it in there yet (very tight space).  What approaches have you used that have worked?  Thanks!

      Loud UTV and communication
      By mac66
      Just bought a used UTV, my first SxS.  It is extremely LOUD!   Was thinking of wearing shooting ear muffs to muffle the noise but then my passenger( wife) and I couldn't hear each other over the shouting we have to do now.... On the other hand we sometime ride with my brother and his wife and would like to be able to communicate. We throught about FRS and/or GMRS radios (we are licensed for GMRS) but we'd have to wear earphones under our ear muffs. My state doesn't require helmets to ride UTVs.
      I suppose if everyone has a cheap FRS/gmrs bubble pack radio with a ear phone we could all talk to one another. Just wear an ear plug in the other ear or ear muffs.
      Looking for suggestions.
