Here is the new post to vote for the best ten Troopers out there. Just add a reply and add who you like and then after a period of time, one of the moderators can take over, count up and start the poll with the top four. It could be because of aftermarket upgrades, stock upgrades or just a fantastic photo.

I’ll start the ball rolling, one vote for each of these Troopers. You can cast a vote for your Trooper.

Quig's Rig. Great Ass. http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2129294760104282158swtAvD

4x4x454’s Rig Beautiful photos. post-85-023394500 1292395216_thumb.jpg

Were got to have a couple of T4’s so Rick’s http://www.utvboard.com/gallery/album/475/29-my-t-4/

and Paiute’s T4post-85-028848200 1292395131_thumb.jpg

That will do for a start. I didn't add Lenny's, rocmocs, Kinarfi's, plumbers and others because I know they will be included. Mines not there cause she's stock standard apart from a few hidden bits. A plane Jane that rock and rolls.

Cheers Mike.

Sorry Mike, have to agree with Rocmoc. They are all sweet in their own particular way. Some do all the cosmetic things, others put all their effort into engine, suspension, etc, . I'm really amazed at all the things members have come up with.I just love hearing about all the changes, seeing great photos, this is great forum, just keep posting guys,,, & thanks for all the help everyone,,,Quig

In my humble opinion, Mine is the very best because it's the one I get to drive, even if it does have problems, It's the one I get to drive. I do like seeing what you other owners come up with, very interesting and some excellent mods. Love them all. Every one should only get one vote, for your own.

Don't have to worry about mine being in the mix. Mine looks more like it came out of the Road Warriors movie. I'm going to vote for Rocmocs, just because I want him to be included even though he'll have hary carry on his mind if he doesn't get first. Thats ok Rocmoc, don't feel bad, you have the biggest trailer

Looks like it is a dead duck. Maybe I should of gone for the ten worst, but then we wouldn’t of had any winners or should I say loser's. What made me think of it in the first place was Quig's rear end (that’s his Trooper) and then stevozz’s mean green machine.

Cheers Mike.

All I can do is look at the picture of my demo and figure out how to top that next year. Not going to be an easy task but I am sure that we can come up with something.

Mike,

Your thoughts are in the right place,thats what counts.What should really be done is to have the contest with everyone showing up with their Troopers.Then the judges who would not be Trooper owners were a no-show so we all had to just admire each others rig and have a great time with no winners or losers.

      I have been doing a little research on which engine oil is best for UTV engines.  There seems to be some disagreement over using a good quality regular engine oil, and the necessity of using "M2" (or wet clutch suitable) oil.  My understanding is the "wet clutch" suitable oil has less friction reduction properties (hence a more responsive clutch with less slippage).  While less friction reduction properties would seem to be better for the wet clutch... it would not be best for the internal engine parts like camshaft bearings and other moving parts where friction is detrimental and would lead to premature failure.  Some folks swear you need M2 oil, while others say they have been using regular motor oil for years and their clutch is just fine.  Could they both be right ???
      Any thoughts ?

      I'm working with a 2015 MSU-500.  Basic symptoms are it cranks well, but will not fire.  It has spark, and it has fuel spraying out of the injector (and spraying starting fluid into the throttle body and plug hole makes no difference).  It has compression.  I bought it not running, and no other information was available.  It has 775 miles on it and 127 hours.  It looks to be in very good shape.   Previous owner replaced fuel pump, ECU, coil, plug, and the fuse/relay box that mounts on the firewall, then gave up.
      My questions relate to cam/valve timing, considering the symptoms and diagnostics so far.  My thinking was the woodruff key sheared off and the crank spun, making it out of time.  My question is, by the pictures attached does anyone have an opinion as to the cam/valve timing being correct?  In the crankshaft picture you can see a timing mark visible.  In the camshaft picture I have arrows directed towards what I think are timing marks (which appear to be exactly 180 degrees from one another).  However, the long arrow in what appears to be bolt configuration in line with the piston/rod line.  Here is a puzzling note... in the position you see in the pictures... I have valve lash on both the intake and exhaust.  I think it's at TDC, given the visible crank timing mark and valve lash on both valves. 
      Any thoughts ?  Does this appear to be in proper valve time ?  Have I missed anything simple ?  Thanks in advance for your input.

      Just received delivery of a 2024 AMP Pro.  Thought I'd start a thread with my impressions as I use it and learn more.  There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of real-world usage information out there on this model.  Hope this will help others as they research.
      Intended Use Cases
      Fire mitigation / slash removal from a 5 acre forested and well-gamble-oaked property.  The previous owners thought as much about fire mitigation as I do about fashion: not much. Snow removal Stump pulling General hauling (rock, lumber, etc.) Weimaraner energy depletion.  Wasn't an original use case, but a nice added bonus.  Experiences So Far
      Wasn't impressed that two of the bumpers on the underside of the bed where it sits upon the frame were missing.  The metal on metal contact has damaged the powder coating and the frame.  I expect a little better QC.
      I've only put a few hours on it, so not a ton to report on usage.  It isn't quiet; it's silent.  I can't even detect an electric note from the motor. I removed (and subsequently replaced) the motor cover noticed that the motor is German and made by Schambuller.  The motor controller is Italian and made by Dana TM4.  Given the operating specs of both I found on the web, I suspect both are higher quality than the previous Navitas (which is supposed to be decent).  The motor is rated at 25 hp and 71.5 lb-ft of torque.  It feels very powerful.  All the torque is delivered instantly, if desired.
      The bed is huge and has an electric dump as standard.  Great feature but would like it to go up a bit more.  Probably not feasible from an engineering perspective, but I want and I need ;).
      Power steering is nice, but vague.  Probably common to many UTVs, but I am accustomed to more direct results from input.  Plan early and plan often.
      In our first full day of usage, we hauled about 1/2 as much slash as the entire rest of the year when I was doing it by hand cart.  I may get fatter, but I'll also get more done.  After a few days of usage, the battery meter has gone down by 1/10th. 
      Until next time...

      I want to ditch my Kubota RTV-XG850 and its moronic twitchy throttle design flaw, get rid of the problematic engine and the 40 mph purposely throttled speed.
      So far, I'm looking at the Honda Pioneer 1000 and the Polaris Ranger 1000, both of which have 1000-1500 lb payload bed capacity.
      What other makes and models should I be looking at?
       
      Thanks for the help!
