Shortly before the Les took the pictures 18 & 19, That big rock that you can see in picture 18 & 19 was right against my rear wheel and I didn't realize that I scratched the heck out of the wheel until I washed it yesterday. OWWW :( But I got it cleaned up now and since I had to reoil one shock after the jamboree, I figure I'll do the other and get rid of those long long shock bolts.

Kinarfi, I really like how quiet your trooper is, what did you use for a new muffler. I can't find anything to use up in my neck of the woods and frankly, my trooper is just too loud!

Me too, I can go for a ride and talk to who ever is with me without screaming, the sound was very pleasing at first, sounded like power, but that gets old after an hour or two. Still use the headphones from my airplane once in a while for the noise of the squeaks and wind and all and the mikes on them make speaking so simple, don't have to raise you voice at all. The muffler is off of a Harley Davidson, Lenny found a set of 2 in a 2nd hand shop in St. George, Utah and put one on his and one on mine. Oh yea, I had to cut about a half inch off the end of the stock exhaust pipe.

LOVE IT.

Thanks Lenny and Kinarfi. I had thought about using a motorcycle exhaust but they're all 2" or smaller in diameter and the outlet diameter on the Trooper is 2.5 Did you just use an adapter?

No adapter needed. The Trooper has a 2" pipe coming out of the cat converter. I did use a real tight 90 degree elbow, about a 4" radius, to keep it tight to the rear of the frame.

Went for a Ride 7-27>30-2010, 20100727-30 Chicken & Currant Creek pictures, photos, and videos, from current events on webshots Up around Strawberry Reservoir. Put on 224 miles according to my GPS . Got caught in the rain a few times, (blue tarp), had good time.

PS

Should I pin this topic so other can post their rides? Should I not post mime? Does anyone care? B)

One thing I would like to comment on in regards to my compression problems, presumably rings, is that every morning, I had to have a hill to coast down to get things started, once the engine had warmed up, it started like a champ every time for the rest of the day, I did notice I am down on power, rings again, but it starts and runs and I saw lots of green, beautiful scenery and the weather for the most part was great, it had rained some, so the dust was down. It's fly season there, so there were quite a few flies and depending on where you were, the mosquitoes were tolerable to bad. Planning a return trip with my son and grand kids soon.

Went for another ride ( http://outdoors.webshots.com/album/578401809wPUGkE ) -- Wildcat Canyon and Strawberry Pinnacles, Aug 14 thru 16, 181.8 GPS Miles. Some really nice scenery and fun trails, even if some long, good roads petered into nothing and some others came to a locked gate. Had one minor accident, tried to turn around in a wide spot on a narrow road, backed up a hill with a hard right, planning to follow up with a hard left, but when I went to hit the brakes, my foot missed the brake peddle and got caught under it and I forgot the keep turning to the left and went off the road down hill until some aspens stopped me after running over some smaller ones. Put it in 4X4 and Locker and backed back up onto the road. Damage: both front fenders cracked or broken and the supports on the left side bent downward, other than that, OK, but that's plenty of damage for me, I don't want any more. :blink: Still coasting down hill or pulling to get started every morning after the engine cools off, :angry: thinking about wrapping it at night with a blanket to see if it stays warm enough to start in the morning, <_< .

There are some advantages to not working, you get to play during the week while everyone is working and you're only one out there, for better or worse!

Put an electric heater under it overnite. That's got me thinking. You could heat just the area of the radiator, lower right rear, where the Temp sensor is and see if that helps. Then try the MAP sensor on the intake manifold. Even the oxygen sensors on the exhaust and the temp sensor on the front of the cylinder head. You get the idea, maybe you can isolate the problem this way. 181 miles, that is a long way. Parking brake didn't work?

Nope, no parking break, burned it out by leaving it on too many times and there is a leak in the left side where it attaches to the calipers, fixing it tomorrow, I hope, and putting new pads on the parking brake. Anyone find an alternate yet, let me know and I'll put in the parts & pieces post.

My thinking is that the oil is up in the rings and the cylinders are warm and the air is warm so it starts, When I start it for the first time, I can tell that it lights on or two the others catch on as I go faster and I'm not sure if it makes or not, but I hold the throttle wide open as I start and keep the rpms up for a little while.

I think I will try putting a heater under one night to see if it helps, good idea.

SO, you are reporting the first wreck of a Trooper in our group here. Be careful there!

rocmoc n AZ/Baja

Don't know if I would call it real wreck, maybe an inadvertent abuse of it's OFF THE ROAD capabilities. Maybe I need to be more careful.

Guess I shouldn't been surprised, House Of Hose wouldn't fix my brake line, flat refused even though they could have, "LIABILITY" and for them to build a new one was $75.00 so I looked at http://www.jmcmotors.us/my_account.php and it was only $29.21, brake pads were $11.40, per set I hope, ORDERED!!

Now to build some sort of visual, audio alarm for when I leave the brake on.

      Hi
      I have a 2022 hisun sector eps 550. 30amp fuse is blown for eps. Checked the motor and it’s fine. Opened up the controller and found a bad diode. Dealer wanted 500$ for the controller. Just posting this in case it helps someone. I couldn’t read numbers from the old one so just took a guess and replaced it with a 100v 3amp diode.

      2021 Hisun Axis 500 UTV (From Lowes)
      Will NOT START
      MY apologies if this is to much info just wanted to give yal the most information possible for help.
      I'm a so called diyer. An Electrician by trade 21yrs. I got my S×S from my last job. The contractor purchased this S×S for this specific job brand new, from Lowes. They used it for hauling materials, tools, & a little bit of anything you can think of on an Industrial type job site. 
      I remember getting on the SxS one time & pushed the gas petal all the way to the floor & SxS had very little power. 
      So anyway ,when the job finished up back mid July this year (7/2024) , I asked the contractor what they was going to do with it. I was told to take it. Otherwise it would go to the contractors yard (storage yard) & most likely rust away. 
      Took it home washed it , it had a heavy coat of dust on it & in it dust was every where. My helper & I had to push it on the trailer to get it home.  After washing it throughly I let it sit & dry out for a good day and half, maybe 2 days. Before trying to start it. NO START. Will turn over & try to start but thats it. 
      So here's what I've purchased & installed. New Air Filter, new spark plug, new air idle control valve (AICV), new throttle position sensor, new throttle body, new oxygen sensor, new digital dash speedometer/fuel gauge/clock. 
      Also drained the old oil & gas & replaced with new oil & 93oct. gas. I should probably mention that I've changed the AICV twice. The 1st time I changed the AICV I was able to get the SxS started & let idle for at least 10-15min. Drove out of the garage, with very little power,  turned it around & barely got it back in the garage.That was the one & only time I've been able to start the SxS. I've also cleaned the Throttle Body and & intake with TB cleaner.  So after that the AICV was  making weird noise so I pulled it out & tried cleaning it, pretty sure I messed it up. So I purchased a Throttle Body that came with new AICV & TPS. Still NO START.  I've checked the fuel pump & the fuel injector.  I took the injector off still hooked up to wiring & turned the key over, the injector sprayed a lot of gas out kinda the size of a volleyball. I've also checked the clearance gap on the intake & exhaust valve. But today 11/2/2024 I'm going recheck spark plug gap & the valve gaps. And alot of other checking. Would the driver side seat belt have anything to do with it not starting?? I know the driver side seat belt has to be in gauged for full throttle "going fast". Thing is the drv. side seat belt will latch but feels like might be messed up inside of it. Tired opening it up but to no avail.  I've never had a S×S or 4wheeler so I was really excited when I got the S×S,not so much anymore.  I work on & fix my own vehicles usually no problems.  But this SxS is kicking my ass.
      So if possible & someone could help me with some ideas or tell me what Im doing wrong or did wrong, I would greatly appreciate it.  Thank you for reading thus far.

      Quick question about replacing the plug.  One of the prongs pulled out, so I'm thinking it will be an easy fix to connect the old cord with a new plug but I'm unsure about the specs.  15amp 125v?  Is it more complicated than that?  I do plan to buy a plug that's water tight.
      Thanks in advance!

      The conversion took about 350lbs. off the vehicle.  It never rode great, but now I feel every  crack in the road.  I have backed off spring compression nut to the point just under where they would move around if suspension was at full extension, but it is still very stiff.  I would like to put some softer coilover springs on it, but I have no idea what the spring rate is with the original springs so I would just be guessing on what to order.  Does anyone have the data for the original spring compression rate?  I am willing to give up a little ground clearance for a softer ride. Right now when sitting still the rear suspension is at or near full extension and the rear tires have several degrees of camber which will cause uneven wear if allowed to continue in this state.
