Time to size them up boys. After looking at Kinarfi's impressive 6800 KM's logged on his Trooper, it really got me wondering--does anyone have more than that?

Posted

Not me! I go for quality, not quantity!

Also some have called US fair weather souls & it is TRUE. LOL!

But my Trooper is one of the OLDEST, one of the first fifty that had to be upgraded every time I turned around. I purchased mine in 2008. They came out in Sept & I took my home in Nov.

He has me beat more then 2:1. But, mine has twice the HP so I only have to go half as far for equal fun.

I think hes an x used car salesman,just rolls the odometer forward instead of backwards.

Mines like brand new after 3 years...... 239.4 miles. OMG! :D

"OMG!" is right!! You better drive it, or it will rust away, or deteriorate to pile of ???? Holy Crap!! Thats not even broke in yet!! lol

I got no job, I'm retired, I'm handicapped, can't golf, broke my airplane(& it broke me), what else have I got to do? go ride around and I got some beautiful areas to play in and a wonderful wife that likes to go with me. I plan on running it up some more this spring and summer and fall. I have the Little Sahara Dunes, I have Currant Creek area, south and west of Strawberry Reservoir, Moab is not that far, and when I go out, it's usually 50 Km per run. Maybe I ought to get one of the new ones when they come out.

No where to ride close by. The Oregon BLM has closed us off practically. It's a crime. But when we come to the Jamboree, it'll get some miles on her! Can't hardly wait!!!!

Blm is trying to close off places in Idaho too. It really sucks, they say they want to save the land & preserve it? Well, if no one gets to see it or use it, whats the sense? It should be protected, but not by keeping people off trails!! Most people don't abuse it, plus if they see someone abusing they tell them, or turn them in! We need to be able to see & use our beautiful mts, valleys,, I know you have plenty in or..

after my trip to Hanksville, I'm now at 7025 kilometers.

Kinarfi

I have put 1700 miles on mine in six months, don't know how many KM that is. Now I'm starting to have problems with it. bummer

I have a Turbo and 30' itp Mud Lites, I made my own top, back, half doors and removeable windows, I installed a intake snorkel and sealed the area under the hood. I was very impressed with it at first but now I'm concerned about the reliability. I have owned two Rhinos and one Prowler, the Trooper is by far the best when it's running.

I agree; it's a crime what our government is doing. I think most off road enthusiasts actually really do care about open land. We don't want it to become "silt" either. I'm amazed that the state of Utah is so gracious with the natural landscape in letting people be "among" it's natural beauty. From where I live in Bend, Oregon all the way to the state pf Idaho is open land, and it's crazy to cut it all off to off roaders. I recently have started to get an interest in snowmobiles, and the government is also trying to cut off wilderness areas to snowmobiles! What are they gonna ruin; snow? It makes no sense! OK; my blood pressure is climbing again. I better back off. ;)

I have 4260km now, had 950km on it in july,when I bought it. Isn't there lots of snow in BC yet? Where do you live?

Not sure, but I think the odometer is in the computer, so when you get it working, you may have your mileage, unless your problem is that you're not getting a signal from the transmission.

I have 7025.1 Kilometers

A couple of years ago, I welded on mine and the speedo quit working. Switched it with one from my dealer and speedo worked ok. Extended warranty replaced it for me. Don't weld on it anymore without unplugging the computer.

      I would really like to know what you guys think about this. I'll try not to ramble and make it as clear as I can.
       
      I took this new job with companyX as a fiber splicer a year ago. I have a 45' bucket truck and 10or12 x 8 ft enclosed splice trailer I have to take home. Within the last 6 months all the management in the splice dept left. Now the power/construction management and higher ups are filling in. Just recently we were told travel to our 1st job is not payable even though we are in a company vehicle. 
      We are union so I asked the union business manager about this. His reply was be grateful you were paid travel as long as you were and that you don't have to drive your POV to the job.
       
      Last week I had 50hr total. The job area is 4-4.5 hrs away. My time was reduced to 44.5 hrs since we were told this travel thing on Tuesday of that week. I wasn't hired for this area. I was hired for area a lot closer to home. 
       
      Pay is good. Work is not hard. Insurance is through the union and so far pretty good.
      But I hate the thought of having to work extra just to make a 40hr paycheck. Anyone who has to drive as part of their job knows windshield time is not easy.
       
      Anyway what do you guys think. Should I look for a different job or just suck it up because of the decent pay and health insurance.

      Does Anyone by chance have a owners manual and a shop manual for a 2007 800cc trooper. I just bought one and need to figure out where and how to engage and disengage the 4 wheel drive. Is it electronic or is there a hidden lever. PLEASE HELP

      This is rocmoc/Michael one of the first on this forum when the Joyner was one of the most active topics.  First an update of others.  The earlier members will also remember Lenny and Jeff.  With myself we organized the first Jamborees in 2009-2012.  Sadly if you have not heard we lost both Lenny and Jeff in 2018.    A great loss to the community.  Myself:  Still around but rolled over to Jeep and Arctic Cat Wildcat.  The Wildcat  design still remains me of my old 2008 Trooper.  Doing well as the Last Man Standing but cleaning out the garage.  Found some New and used Trooper parts I will list in the parts section.  Wanted to give you all a chance before I list on Ebay.  As many of you knew Lenny listed a lot of stuff on Ebay.  Will I partnered a lot of the stuff with him and I still have stuff.  Take care and I will check in for message should you want to ride.  Still make it to Utah every other year and am still in Southern AZ.

      We have a 2018 Cub Cadet Challenger 400 and I found this Internally Threaded Bolt with a 10mm head size laying in the floor of the shop bay here on our ranch where we park the Cub Cadet.
      Trying to figure out where it belongs...
