Hi all, just finished a ton of upgrades on the trooper . Front and rear differential upgrade kits ,snorkle, fabricated automotive style tanks straps (mounting tabs broken), steering gear loosiness fix (thanks Lenney), longer bolts for rear trailing arms and boxed in trailing arms ,installed rubber insulators on all skid plates (fixed 90% of all vibration rattles) , and installed muffler from a 885 Harely. Went riding in the Uintas for the weekend a noticed an intermittent bang noise on hard torque situations in 2wd only . Don"t know if it has been there all along and did'nt here it due to the loud exhaust or is a new problem . When I was loading it to come home i noticed the 4wd actuator was making noise like it was trying to move in and out by itsself. I looked closer and found when I had the front diff out, the cheap Chinese electrical connector terminals for the 4wd actuator had pushed partially out of the connector. I pushed the terminals back in, the actuator now working normally . Plan on replacing connector with higher quality connector . I guess I won't know if this fixes the banging noise till next ride.

Your welcome. When you had your diffs apart, you could see that the lockout used an internal ring gear that slid over two gears. When the ring was on one gear, the diff is not locked. When the ring is over both gears, it's in lockout. If the cable isn't adjusted correctly it can leave the ring gear partly engaged over the second gear and even though your thinking you might not be locked out you could be. However in turns when the stress on the ring is the greatest, the ring could slip off under pressure which could make a clunk. Lift the wheels off the ground and in nertral play with the adjustment of the cable to get it to fully engage and disengage. Sounds like you did a lot of good things to your Trooper. Look at your clutch and brake pedals. Wiggle them side to side. Mine had a lot of slop and would rattle a lot. I took them apart and put different bushings which got rid of those rattles. What kind of tools do you have to work with. Maybe a lathe and mill. If so, I can tell you how to replace the your ball joints and tighten your heims joints. These are major sources of clunking in front.

how can i get those upgrade kits for the front and rear diff?

I guess I'll have to just go ahead and make of a batch of kits. I'll begin ordering stuff in a day or two. It will still take a little time to put it all together by the time I get everything shipped to me and get the machining part done. I'll post progress.

      Is there a better performing higher volume injector than what they come with or what is the best replacement for the original?  
    • By Ductking1
      I recently purchased a 2024 Hisun 550 Sector from Kreps Service Station and am having issues with the gear selector, I am doing as instructed in the owners manual but the shifter acts like it is binding or the button lock isn't releasing, the shifter will not move, I have to wiggle it back and forth while pushing hard on the brake and if it's in park or reverse it's nearly impossible to get it to move, I contacted Justin Krep and he says this is normal with these machines, I find that hard to believe, I've owned many utvs and side x sides and have never had this kind of issue with any of them, any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

      I have a Joyner Trooper 1100 4 place that has been sitting for a number of years. I have everything taken care of but i can't get the fuel through the injectors. Fuel pump puts full pressure on them but they don't turn on or spray fuel. Any ideas?

      I need a pair of front shocks for a Landpride Treker 4200NT, from 2005?  Does anyone know of a good salvage yard - or another source?
      The old shocks have "SEBAC 11685 12 3" stamped on them (or something very close - it's hard to read). I think SEBAC are (were?) an Italian company.
      Is there a compatible shock I can use? I don't have easy access to a scrap yard where I can compare shocks etc.
      Thanks,
      -Kim

      I've had a Hisun Vector E1 for just a bit longer than is required for me to do some maintenance. While it's well-overdue, it only drives 1.5km a few times each week on a fairly decent gravel road (to the letterbox), and it has worked really well right from the get-go.
      Looking at the manual it states that I need to use SAE80 API GL-4 Hypoid Gear Oil for the Main gear Case, and SAE80 API GL-5 Hypoid Gear Oil for the Front gear Case - unfortunately i can't find either of those online here in Australia. Plenty of options that look close, but, as someone who has never driven any vehicle before, I want to use the right thing and it's a tad confusing.
      My question: Since there are no oils that are bang on SAE80 (they all seem to cover a range) would Liqui Moly Hypoid GL4 Gear Oil 80W-90  & Motorex Hypoid GL-5 Gear Oil 80W90 - be ok to use? (Or any other suggestions of what I might be able to purchase online in Australia) And would I have to drain out any existing oil from both gear cases?
      This is a whole new world for me and  being able to find exactly what is specified in the manual hasn't made this easy!
