  1. Found this on the bajanomad site. Well produced movie of Baja. rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  2. I didn't want to push it. Just one title more than Kinarfi would be fine, LOL. rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  3. Easier to call. http://www.joyner-atv-utv.com/ rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  4. Great! I am already a member! Maybe now I can be a Mod, LOL! Only kidding. rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  5. Welcome! rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  6. Thanks Snowman for being upfront! rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  7. Prices, please! rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  8. If your are bound to go it on your own; Fox, FOA & King are your choices. FOA has a shock sizing site but nearly takes an Engineer to understand. Easiest is work with Off Road Warehouse http://offroadwarehouse.com/contact . You can call the 800 # and ask for Nick or the shock guy. He is the shock guy and will work with you to make your purchase. Prices are very good, bought mine from them, & service is excellent. If you go thu them I would recommend Fox Shocks. I believe Flatbed also worked with Off Road Warehouse when he upgraded to Fox. Maybe Kinarfi will post how he purchased his FOA shocks. Of course Lenny blazed his own trail, LOL. Forgot to mention, Shocks are the easy part. It is the springs that are a pain! rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  9. Shocks, no one has come forward with the final ultimate performance setup. Everyone here is still experimenting, but these are performance guys pushing the limits. There are a couple of Vendors that say they have the setup, No Limits Powersports http://www.joyner-atv-utv.com/ and Silverbullet Motorsports http://silverbulletmotorsports.net/ for the everyday guy/couple looking to improve ride & reliability. Give them a call. rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  10. Mopartist, here are a couple of links that will help. I installed Vision Wheels Buckshot wheels that do not require a spacer. http://www.utvboard.com/topic/1844-trooper-t2-larger-tires-and-top-speed/page__p__7447__hl__%2Bvision+%2Bwheels__fromsearch__1#entry7447 http://www.utvboard.com/topic/517-tires-and-wheels/page__p__796__hl__%2Bvision+%2Bwheels__fromsearch__1#entry796 rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  11. I am having my new Fox shocks re-valved next week, one free re-valving came with the purchase. I pulled the shocks off today and took the Trooper for a ride without the shocks. Keep in mind I released all N2 pressure in the Joyner Coil-over shocks that I am using for the springs only. I was surprised the diff was so small. You could feel a small increase in the small bumps action but not that bad. Same with the big rebound going thu a large dip. Mid-range seem to have not changed. But overall did not feel quite as solid/secure/safe. I have back off on the spring ride height/tension on the spring trying to soften the ride. Yes I know the spring rate control the softness but It will release some. I am going to back off a bunch more on the spring height/tension as the change/feel has been almost nothing so far. The shocks. I am going to have them softened by 30%. Just so you know, when you change by more than 10% the entire shock is changed thu the entire shock stroke. 10% or less they make a simple washer change that only effects the top end of the stroke. Since I have driven Lenny's Trooper I have a good comparison. His is much softer than mine and has much much more sway when turning. I have yet made any adjustments to the front and you can not do one without effecting the other. Will have the Shocks back by the end of next week and reinstalled by the following week. Will report the results. I am also going to take a BIG swing at backing off the tension on the springs, rear & front. Let me say tho my trooper is already the best handling 4X4 I have had, I could live with it as it is. rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  12. Sounds about right, driver rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  13. I hope the higher numbers aren't an indication of the weakest link, LOL! rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  14. I know how to resolve this. A drag race between Lenny and someone at the June Adventure. LOL! Lenny, you up for it? I guess it would have to be me as I am one of the few running the same size tires and hopefully gearing. Would be interesting! rocmoc n AZ
  15. Help me understand! This is a video of a drag race between a stock Joyner Trooper and a Joyner Trooper with a turbo, correct? Now if that is the case, IMHO the money was wasted as there was little difference. Maybe driver, maybe bad choice in Turbo manufacturer; Am I seeing something wrong? rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  16. Can you do close-ups of the the hinges & hinge point and latch & latch point. I will be doing doors in April . My plan is something like what is on this green Suzuki Samurai, http://www.utvboard.com/topic/1904-doors/page__p__7669__hl__suzuki__fromsearch__1#entry7669 Thanks, rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  17. We were really disappointed. We even thought about heading out Sunday as better 3/4s was feeling better. BUT nothing was ready, Trailer or Pull truck and we had to be back Thursday to pickup friends at the airport. Next time and Yes we will get together. Any pics? rocmoc n AZ
  18. They have also been the most supportive on this site and at our annual Joyner Offroad Adventure. Good people! rocmoc n AZ
  19. You have injector which are much more reliable than a carb. Get some injector cleaner and put it in the tank per the directions on the bottle. After that start checking connections problems. Start at the fuse box, take it off and check the back also, and carry on thu-out the wiring. Electrical problems are very hard to find! rocmoc n AZ
  20. Yes, I have seen the stats on even the global effect. Do wish I owned the company, LOL! rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  21. WE don't Facebook, twitter or even text message. Have decided that email and voice phone is enough access into our lives. Even then we love it when we travel to Mexico and the only access is email, NO PHONE! We largely use the internet only as a tool. Very very little social interaction. SORRY! rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  22. How long an interval between the times you drove it? Remember today's fuel has to be stabilized if the toy is not used regularly. If it was a long time, more than a month or two, I would first try running some injector cleaner in the fuel. Then move on to the tough stuff, Is it electrical or fuel related? rocmoc n AZ
  23. If you head to Quartzsite, AZ. you will not ride alone. Tons & Tons of old riders there for the next 1 1/2 months. Sorry we won't be around! rocmoc n AZ
  24. Thanks for letting us know Silverbullet and giving us the price. rocmoc n AZ
  25. Well today is great. Every window in the house is wide open. WARM again! rocmoc n AZ
