I was wondering if anyone of you have got a snow plow or blade for the trooper or renegade. We are going to order a couple with the next order of machines, but that may be another month or so and I cant find any pics from anywhere to show an up close pic of how they mnt to the trooper. Also if anyone does have one from swisher, I was wondering how it holds up. Also was wondering what different ideas anyone has done for fender flares to keep some of mud off, was thinking maybe some of the rubber flare that you can buy in a roll that I have seen on jeeps. Someone comes to test drive and they come back covered in mud.

I havn't done anything with flairs but I do plan on designing fibreglass fenders for the Trooper later on to solve not only the mud throwing problen but the lond travel clearance problem. When I do this, I will develope an initial version in a 3d modeling program and post it for comments. I'm a pretty good designed and just ok at how it looks. I designed industrial machinery and looks ment nothing. So what I would like to do it to get everybody's input so when done we'll have a great set of retrofit fenders to go to.

As for the fenders, the reason I was asking about the rubber flares was because they would be flexible and I would lower the chance on breaking the fenders. We have alot of atv trail, poker runs etc. around here and they are tight for the trooper. If you do come up with a new design I would like to see it.

Thanks for the link to the pic of snow blade, I don't know what kind of blade that is. We are going two order a couple of Swishers, they make the brackets for the Trooper and Renegade. From what I know you have to take the winch off and put in on another plate with the blade and then the whole ass. goes into the reciever on the front of the Renegade but the new troopers dont have the reciever in the front anymore so was just wandering how it bolted on. I know everything hinges and hooks up in the front.

I thought I'd chime in here and say that I got some truck fender flare material from JC Whitney for about 35 bucks if I remember right. They have different contours for mounting; and I chose the flat surface one. (I think you can see it in the pic attached) I had to trim the fender lip off in order to get a nice "blendable yet square" fit. I used 1" screws with locking nuts every 4 inches or so. Then rounded the front of the flare with a box knife to blend into the fender. I think the material was the "standard duty" model.

Do they keep the mud off I could only find 4 1/2" flares and if I remember right the tires stick out almost six?

Oh absolutely! I was getting sand blasted before; now nothing comes off the front tires into the seats. Now if I can only solve the dust draft problem

If you have a windshield what I did was cut a few inches off the top and bottom it did not stop it but it helped a lot. Another thing i have herd of is to put a back on the cab. rocmoc said it will also help to remove the bottom of the dash. Cutting the windshield and removing the bottom of the dash will allow the air to flow through the cab and not create the vacuum caused by the windshield. And did you do anything about the rear wheels?

Tire tread pattern makes a big difference also. With the new tires, I am not getting nearly as much coming back at us MOST of the time. Unfortunately, the new tires/rims are even wider and have a greater potential. I will have to make something from fiberglass as the rear fenders had to be cut for the upward movement of the rear tires. This will require a entirely new fender design.

      Seriously considering buying 2022 Axis 700 from Lowes… any regrets from current owners?
      By REDfletching
      Spent today at a Honda dealership looking at their 520 side by side, then on the way home past our Lowes noticed they had several new UTVs on site, so we U-turned and ducked in there. We were impressed that all that came for $9,999 metal whole length skid plate, nice sized bed, roof, windshield, side mirrors, winch, upgrade looking tires… all of which would have added thousands of dollars to an already expensive Honda 520. Now Honda does have a great reputation from my trusted UTV experienced buddy, so it has that going for it.

      Hello, 
      I found an 08 Renegade for sale and looking to purchase it.  I haven’t heard too much about these machines and any insight would be much appreciated.  Are they good machines?

      2021 UTV 400 going downhill something releases to "Neutral" loud Clacking noise.
      By Robert B
      Going down a 20 deg hill engine is holding UTV back. Then something releases like going into Neutral and makes a loud clacking noise. Have to use brake to slow UTV down. Then once level it shifts back into gear. Have done shift extension does not pop out of gear.

      Hisun Sector e1 Battery replacement: any tips?
      By didgeridoo
      Hello, All!  I've decided to replace the traction batteries in my 2018 Sector E1 with a 48V Lithium set. They may be expensive, but I figure the Discovery Dry Cell are, too. I am not looking for the max driving range, as I have never received near the brochured range to begin with, but a good mix of charge/ get work done/ charge is what I am expecting.
      I have settled on the 48V EAGL kit from bigbattery dot com. Each battery pack provides 30Ah. The kit ships with a charger, as well. The packs would be physically connected in parallel (using a busbar) to one another, maintaining the 48V voltage, but together would be able to provide the amp draw the buggy pulls when going up hill or towing a rake (rated 320 max continuous Amps). This is in comparison to the serial connection the eight 6V lead batteries. Each of the EAGL batteries looks to have its own BMS; am I correct in thinking I will have to use their included charger rather than (simply) changing the onboard charger to lithium mode? The chemistry of the pack is LiFe PO4, for what it's worth.  I haven't torn anything apart yet (to diagram), so  I am not sure how the dash will interpret the AMP draw, but the kit I am looking at includes a dash mounted charge indicator.
      If anyone has completed a similar conversion, do you have any tips? Specifically, how did you remove the original batteries, and how did you secure the new ones? I am guessing that almost any change from the stock batteries would involve at least some modifications. Any tips would be appreciated, especially things I may have failed to consider. Thanks!
