Welcome Zorro! There was an upgrade to the original 50 units' brakes. Maybe you have one of them and never got the upgrade. Even at that the brakes are not the greatest. Even at that have never had a problem on the trail and I have NOT put my upgraded brakes on yet. YUP that is the turning radius but you will be surprised how little it effects you off-road riding. Give it a chance first! rocmoc n AZ/Mexico

Hopefully someone knows how to capture these pics before they disappear. Joyner Trooper T2 *seats 5 rocmoc n AZ/Mexico

Got back from Mexico and my Camping Permit was in the mail. Just Call J.J. Montgomery @ 505-599-8984 and leave your Name, mailing address, the dates you will be camping and say you will be camping in the GLADE. He will mail you the permit. Don't delay, I already have mine. If you don't us it not a big deal, it is FREE. Then come to this topic and post that you have you permit so we have an idea who is coming. I HAVE MINE! rocmoc n AZ/Mexico

Thanks everyone. We put the Trooper in the Toyhauler today to protect it from the sun as our friends we were to ride with are still sick (didn't go to the clinic). We won't go out here without the buddy system as it is too risky so the Trooper was just setting in the sun. If something happens it could be weeks before someone found you. We have a wedding to go to tomorrow, Sunday and will return home early Monday. The riding was a bust for this trip but at least WE are feeling great again. Had a great dinner of Tortilla Soup, Grilled Bacon wrapped Cheese stuffed Shrimp & a pitch of Margarita tonight. Finally what we come down here for. GREAT people took care of us so there was a silver lining. Again thanks for thinking of us. rocmoc n Mexico/AZ

Lenny is correct. The 10" is more than enough as the shock lays at an angle and the the swing arm travels the greater distance of 13+ inches. Stock is the 8" that Flatbed used but I relocated the mount on the swing arm for a better weight distribution to the swing arm and increased the travel distance of the shock thus the 10" shock. 12" would be too much as you will be out the sweet spot of the shock valving. rocmoc n Mexico/AZ

Thats funny Rick! LOL! First day feeling good! rocmoc n Mexico/AZ

I was there over New Years with the Trooper. Trying to be nice, it wasn't for me. rocmoc n Mexico/AZ

Hay Admin, Fixed, worked for me. I like it! Where do we find the Icon to bring up the map other than this post? I found it! rocmoc n Mexico/AZ

Thanks Rick. If we did not have a wedding locally Sunday, we would already be headed home. Had Breakfast this morning for the first time in days with no side effects, a GREAT sign! LOL! rocmoc n Mexico/AZ

I should read more of our great posts. Thanks Lenny! rocmoc n Mexico/AZ

Will give more of an updated as time goes but the bottom line is 4 out of 6 of our group came down with Montezuma's Revenge and have been down for days. I was the worst and finally had to go to the clinic for two IVs & meds. Better 3/4s just had to take meds. The Health-care in Mexico is much better than most people in the States know. It is available to everyone at very, very low cost or no cost at all if you can't pay. This includes Tourist. Luckily we all ready knew this and headed over there when I started to lose the battle completely. Our total bill for 2 IVs, 2 shots, 6 meds and doctor visit was 190 pesos, about $15. They will not take more for their service so if you can afford it as a Tourist , you make a donation. We payed 300 Pesos total, less than $24. The Doctor, a young talented lady, was trained in Guadalajara at the school our next door neighbor's son was trained. And He is in charge of Urgent Care at one of the larger hospitals in Tucson. We don't always get the straight facts from our New sources or Government as everyone has an agenda. Enough said, we are healing here and have had very little riding. Headed home early Monday. Only second time being sick in 15 years of traveling in Mexico. "Not Jazzed Anymore!" rocmoc n Mexico/AZ

Yeah, we all are going to need boots. Mine are also going. Help, we need a source for boots of better quality than the stuff from the factory. rocmoc n Mexico/AZ

Good morning Admin. Like the map but it would not correctly display my location. Put in two two nearby in AZ and both times after the map confirmed the location, the indicator on the map showed TX, not AZ. rocmoc n Mexico/AZ

Welcome. Hang in there. There are some knowledgeable people on here and someone may have some suggestions. Just don't give up! rocmoc n AZ/Mexico

Where we are going is Kino Bay, Sonora, Mexico. Across the bay is an area we tried to get to last time when we were there with the Trooper. We came to a dead end and didn't make it. But the Sand was some of the lightest / softest I had ever been in. True blow sand, the Trooper sank with the stock tires sank like a rock. This time we have the big tires. WELL, I went on Google Earth and found the route. At the site where we want to go are numerous pics posted by people. Browsing thu the pics I found that the location has a Dune Field and they look like GREAT! The Google Earth coordinates are 28* 43' 38.25"N , 111* 55' 22.20"W . Take a look at the Pics. Kino Bay is just to the North of that location. We will be at the North end of the Beach in one of the two RV Parks down there. Loading the Trooper today and leaving in the morning. It is a 7 hour trip from the house but once you are in Mexico the speed limit most of the time is around 40-45mph. Will take pics, we got one of the light slim line cameras so it will be easier. We will have the laptop & wifi. rocmoc n AZ/Mexico

Check rotation of the drivelines. They are probability opposite of each other thus not inter-changeable. rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
