With the understanding that your supercharger still has some fueling issues, did you walk away with any hp or torque numbers from the dyno?

It's a Bosch 3311.

So you are getting inspiration for your trooper from Chopped Liver. Yeah, not sure I care to see those pics

What am I chopped liver? No need for thanks I will help you anyways . After upgrading my shocks 90% of the noises went away. All I hear now is some sqeeking in my pedal pivots and the fiberglass panels rubbing as the frame twists. You might want to check and see if your rod ends on your A-arms aren't contacting the brackets they are bolted to in at full compression/droop. They will twist side to side as the suspension compresses/extends. Jack it up and at full droop make sure you have about 1/8 th inch of clearance between the rod ends & their respective brackets. Lastly, the steering upgrade kit is a must do until someone finds a better steering box that will mod-in.

New shocks are your best option. The stock springs are very stiff, and you can't change the compression with out cutting the current shock open. They aren't meant to be rebuilt, but it can be done (see Lenny). If you don't mind loosing some ground clearance you can back off the preload collars and it will get softer. If you plan to upgrade your shocks go to Steve at Makintrax. He has all of our measurements and can custom build you 4 bolt-in shocks for around $1500. The only other bolt in shocks out there are Kings @ $2600. Also, by going to a custom shock you can gain some suspension travel.

Not good. Hope everyone keeps safe. Let's pray for the best.

Lenny, Any tid bits you'd like to share with us on the supercharger? Did you dyno it yet? How'd it run for you at the Jamboree? Thanks, Paul

Ditto on your feelings Rick. There has to be a reason why everyone is bailing, yet no one will explain why. Mike, & now Garth have been very vague. Not saying they have to explain anything about their personal lives, that is their business. But, I am sure there is much more they can share with us that would be of interest to us. Mike & Garth care to throw us a bone?

For what its worth: With out reading every bylaw, regulation, and statute you guys have been mentioning, I will speak from personal experience. If you have plates (actual license plates) on your UTV you may use all paved 2 lane highways in Moab. This will include every road with exception of Main Street. This comes from personal experience and after speaking with local authorities. I don't think they will beat you up if you just need to cross main street on your UTV either as my buddy and I did it everyday on our last trip to Moab. There are TONS of camp sites which you can access trails with out trailering your UTV such as Kane Springs Road which has been mentioned. There is also Canyonlands and some people even camp right off the highway at the Gemini Bridges trail head. Now these are camp sites, meaning there is no water or power, and it will be hit or miss as far as out-houses. They are just flat open spaces you can park your RV or pitch a tent. As far as trails I highly recomend: Kane Springs (moderate to easy & scenic) Fins & Things (Easy to moderate. This is a great confidence builder. Lets you get a taste of the slick rock, sand, and it is scenic. Everyone can do this) Gemini Bridges (very easy but scenic overlook) Tusher Tunnel (I think there are several ways to get there which could cause it to be easy to hard, but there is a cool tunnel to explore) Hells Revenge (Moderate to hard depending if you do any obsticals. There are steep climbs and hills that may scare some, but no major off-camber stuff or slippery/sliding traction loss).

I never threw my hat in on this years Jamboree because of my hectic summer. I went to Moab twice already this year, just got back from a road trip to Canada (with the entire familiy ), going to Vegas for my brothers Bachelor party, both my sister and my brother are getting married this summer (no, not to each other you sickos ), I have two upcoming golf tournaments scheduled & paid for, and I have Air Force Reserves every month. I haven't been at home for a weekend in over a month. I owe my lawn guy like $135. The end all be all is one of my golf tournaments is this weekend. This particular tournament is in memory of my brothers late wife and all proceeds go to charity, so there is no missing it. Although I can't make the Jamboree, I hope to get together with some members on some other rides until the next Jamboree. I hope you guys have a great time. Please take some picks for us who can't attend. Someone take some detailed photos of Lenny's machine while he isn't looking. You may need to wait until he is asleep. That is if he sleeps . He may have improvements to his machine scheduled during the Jamboree.

rick, I'd really like to get some hard performance data on this one before I year my machine apart. thanks, paul

like I mentioned in my original post, the cv boots I picked up were a type that would fit a few different models. I believe they refer to it as a uni-boot, because it is a universal application. you can cut the boot down to fit. I ran moab & a couple of local trails without a hitch, where the stock ones would bind. remember, I have about 3.5 inches of droop over a stock trooper & that is the reason I had to find another/thinner boot.

Wish you would have come down. Then at least I would have had another reliable Trooper with me and not another broken down RZR (tongue in cheek). You really aren't that far from me and many trails are half way, so we will definatley hook up. Or, I could drop the kids off at Uncle Kinarfi's next time I am heading to Moab--LMFAO!

Looks good and very professional. What about doing 1100cc in some cool writing on the sides of the hump on the hood? I like people to notice the CC's the Trooper has. Or, just airbrush MY MOTOR IS BIGGER THAN YOURS

I have a Bosch. The guy at autozone cross-referenced it with the Fram listed in the parts/pieces section.

Moab was fun, but fell short of expectations. My buddy's RZR 4 had some running problems after we ran Porcupine, so he packed it up early which left me by myself. I didn't want to wander too far off the beaten path with the family, so all we did after that was Hells Revenge, Fins & Things, & Kanes Creek. Then there was the weather. Friday and Saturday morning were great, but then it got extremely windy, which put quite a damper on the camping. The good news is the Trooper ran great, suspension was amazing, new air intake stayed in place, and the new CV boots worked flawlessly. Also, I ran into a fellow T2 owner who lives in Moab. He has one of the tricked out T2's which No Limits Powersports built. I will definatley be calling him next time I head down. Took alot of video of the suspension. It is set up very well for rock crawling and trail riding. It was obvious in the video that it now rides smoother and travels further than my buddy's RZR 4. There is sway when cornering at speed which is normal for dual rate coils due to the softness. I will be looking into putting on swaybar to help with that.
