I have a nearly complete second 2009 Joyner Trooper T2. I originally bought it for parts but when I got it home because it was so complete started thinking of putting it back on the road. (Like I need another project) What would you do? If I parted it out the parts would not be cheap as I did pay a pretty good sum for the thing.

Need to ask, before giving my thought.

you say "nearly complete" what is it needing? (i remember when you got it cause i went to jump on it but you had snapped it up. cant remember what it needed)

99.9% complete. I have since bought most of the missing parts. BUT I have so many projects and other interests it will be YEARS before I would ever get it together. It is stored inside so no problem with weather. Time is the biggest limiting factor. I bought it because as I have posted, at some point I have to modify my swing arm hubs or install the new ones that came on this T2. The T2 is brand new never registered. Was bought from Joyner with parts missing.

If it would not be much trouble to get it registered i would put up a third option. Sell it. If it was to take years as you say to get it together why waste it on just sitting letting what value there is to drop and maybe you will never get to it. Also If you part it out then you might end up spending as much time dealing with selling all the parts as you would if you had just gone ahead and put it together. (JMHO)

Thanks Rick for the input. I just hate seeing people need parts and I know I could fill the order. My time has slipped away with other projects and priorities so I am at the point of looking at other options. You know the saying, Best laid plans of mice & men go to C*ap, LOL!

I voted to get it on the road before reading how you are spread so thin with projects. My thoughts were to make that one your test bed for extreme changes before doing it to your primary ride.

But if your already thin, then I would agree with Rick and say sell it.

Might get a couple $$$ back from your investment and give a little more for your current project.

I can relate, my 240Z is currently close to being road ready and is getting priority right now. Joyner will be next and my r/c tanks are always trying to nickle/dime me to death....

Sucks being retired, huh ?

Isn't it really $50 and $100ed to death with a few hundreds of dollars items thrown in here and there. Seems being retired that projects come one after another without having to go to work to break the cycle. It's a nice place to relive your childhood, just a lot more expensive. Thats 2 years Showa that you missed the Jamboree. Guess we are going to have to come up with some sadistic torture to get you back on the straight and narrow. As far as Rocmoc goes, he could sell everything he has and in a couple of days he would be covered up with projects again. I know what that is like, don't know how to slow down. Never could and probably never will.

Hell I just wish a had a drop of the abilities you guys had. I rely on a mechanic herein Mexicali to help me. The tear down time of the trooper to part it out would be tough and you would be hanging on to it for some time before it is half gone.

Wouldn't be too bad after I took the parts I want, diffs, trans, motor, swing arms, axles, brake pads and a few more items. LOL, heck it sounds like I need to keep most of it. Things like gauges, body parts, gas tank, switches, cage, frame tube and the like are the things I would sale. My luck would be as soon as I sold a fender I would crunch one of mine on the Trooper and would be hunting for a replacement my sale at FULL price. Pricing is the tough part in my mind. Always tough to do business with friends. Want to give it away but ya can't. One thing is sure it is taking up valuable inside storage that would be nice for something else. Staring to feel like a hoarder or one of those guys the American Pickers would like to visit.

I'am having problems with my T2. I may need an ECU, are you interested in parting it out and how much?

Posted

I may have an extra within a couple of months. Keep in touch if you don't get another and/or I will try to contact you when I get it.

      I'm sure many of you are aware of Michigan's emergency brake requirement.  I'm wondering if anyone has a good solution. 
      Beyond paying the few fab places $$$$.. I'm curious is there another rear caliper with e brake style that would interchange with slight mods to  the Maverick sport rear mounting bracket?

      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?

      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.
