Plumber. I rather not take the engine apart and end up with half engine sitting around so i want to keep engine complete and if someone want that I'll sell it or anything else. If someone want buy it complete then we can talk about price on that. I do not have a price set in mind for the whole thing yet. Tires isn't included unless at right price.

They are good. I have two, 1 with renegade gearing and shims installed and 1 with trooper gearing no shims installed. How is 450 for one? Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

Also have an partial Lenny kit with some of the shims left over somewhere Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

Hello, I have an 2009 trooper t2 that has been sitting due to blown rear differential and i don't want to invest anymore money into it. So i have decided I will part it out everything is good except for the rear differential. Let me know what you need or want and I'll get the pictures for you. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

Been a while i chimed in here. I also broke my 2nd rear end that already had been shimmed. I blame my oversized tires and heavy foot. i have been thinking about maybe checking out suzuki samurai independent rear suspension and see if i want to go that route edit: my gear set is from renegade. The pinion is broken off at the teeth and ring gear is not too bad looking.

Tms utv What terrain do you travel in? Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

Tms utv, I agree about what you said about outlaw and that they do very good for flotation as well. I have done lot of research on utv/atv tires but somehow I never heard about those tires. I even never heard of them before. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

Looks like same pattern as what came on my t2 stock (far east) it was good for all around and being light. I think I'll look for lighter tires next since mine is really heavy at about 40 or so lb each. Outlaw 2 29.5x9.5x14 front 29.5x11x14 in rear Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

I run outlaw 2 at 29.5 height they are very aggressive for mudding and doesn't rub but they are very heavy and chunky Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

Don't worry about asking too much.. i could say you are helping keeping the forums alive Lol. Yes pinion gears and ring gears and cases are exact same for trooper and renegade... but pinon from trooper have 15 tooth.. renegade is 14 tooth so you get deeper gear ratio with renegade pinon over trooper.. less top speed more torque... ring gear and carriers between those two are exact same BUT.....i warn and advise you to look at the side gear splines where it stick out case on sides that mates to the CV axles... that part could be different since i bought front and rear renegade differentials...rear was exact same except for the pinon tooth count.... front was exact same except for pinion tooth count and ALSO the splines that stick out sides of the case are smaller diameter as it neck down at spline area. while trooper one is fatter/thicker diameter. Yes 12.9 bolts are for ring gear to carrier. Lenny said to use nut on other side on carrier side i did that... it was hard to undo it all if you didn't made sure that it spins nice and freely after shimming it. Also for the literature I'll email those out to you when i get home and scan them. We know what you mean by almost no one heard of trooper and really drop their jaws to the ground. Now there's wildcat and maverick the newest next hottest thing now i believe. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 4

My front CV was so hard as well i had to take front suspension apart but before i put it back together i coated all mating parts with "anti-seize" the silver grey stuff on splines before i put CV on in hopes that anti seize would keep the parts clean and free moving Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 4

Clankford... I did mine few months ago and the end play specs i set mine was for... side gears inside carrier i set to 5 thousandths, all other gearing backlash set at 15 thousandths that was the best my diff can do without binding at 5 thousandths on one gear and 0 on other gear. But it's much improved and bushing I'm not sure where to get that... 12.9 grade bolts is correct. The shims is just very thin metal washers that's 5/10/15/20 thousandths thin.. if you can get someone to make it you need to get them made and the shims either push on bearings or gear to make tolerance tighter. If you need directions i still have that i could make you an copy and send it to you Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 4

I think best option would be any small Honda engine and transmission then we will have to figure out the mounts and shafts and wiring up the engine Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 4

I can't get any answer from Joyner usa or klung motor so right now I'm just considering and talked with other one member here about doing an engine/trans swap I'm considering an Honda set up because they can be 110-150 hp on stock engine and their transmission can be spooled to lock it together like the t2's is currently. I'm in planning and research stages right now but if i do go that route i will take pictures and record information. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 4

34 feet diameter you mean? My trooper can do u turn on gravel road at the intersection that's about 7 feet wide i believe Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 4

Glad to help and i agree with kinarf because these connections will corrode but even better would be to upgrade to sealed buss fuse box like the one i got from plumber i have been real happy with it since! Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

Not sure about 4wd actuators but all other and i believe the 4wd actuators fuses and relay are in fusebox under the passenger side dashboard i suggest you check that out and maybe even pull the fusebox off to look at wiring behind it...some people had that area behind fusebox rusted and others had it melted.

Could be the fuel pump... check the pressure after it sit for a while but before you start it up i have heard of t2 having those problems also i think there's an thread about that on here Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

Lol i hear you about the ac its a great luxury to have! I thought soft top did just as good for keeping rain out but i never had jeep or any soft top for my trooper yet so i don't really know. I hope you got good seal between the body and the hard top to keep the cold in and water and heat out lol....aren't you worried about the drug war going on in Mexico with i think the short "el chapo"? Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

Looks great. Just wondering why you want a hard top when you are going where there will be lot of heat? Good progress on the Jeep though Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

Nice idea... redneck shock sock... is your limiting strap on shock itself? I always thought that limiting strap was supposed to go on frame above and below the shock point? Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
