wanted to say thanks to 2scoops, I put out the call for a used rear shock and the board came thru. 2scoops talked to me first and wanted to let him know I recived the shock today

Also wanted to say I love the back seats on the T2's. I had planned to do it since I bought mine in 09, started on it last year then needed the room in the shop and the trooper went into storage. With the shock I nolonger have a hold up and need to bust my butt so I can take the kids out to ride . I went out to the dessert for thanksgiving weekend ,kinda sucked not having any toys while the rest of the group did. We are planning to go out for New Years so I will atleast get the shock in and pay for my tags so I atleast have a toy.

start my list and check it off

1. install shock

2.pay tags

3.oil and filter change

4.air filter upgrade

5.build rearcage

6.mount rear seats

7.build rear floor

8.buy kids seatbelts

9.build front bumper and skid plate.

10.remount headlights on bumper under fenders

I amsure there will be more things but I will check in here and check them off and add new items. Hopefully follow with pics.

13.front storage comparment under hood

14.renforce front cage (already had rollover)

15.install 12v outlet in dash

16. doors

18. finish building 20ft open trailer, all steel deck(my old trailer stolen from shop and tired of borrowing trailers)

19. rock sliders

20.race radios ( never gonna happen,cost too much)

No problem. By the way, when you get a chance you may want to check the nitrogen pressure in the shock I sent you. I tapped the valve just to make sure is had some pressure--and it did. I wanted to make sure I didn't send you a leaky shock.

I went with a 43" Twisted Stitch rear seat. I can fit all 3 of my boys (8,5,&3) in it. I used lexan for the floor. It is lighweight yet rigid enough for the kids to put their weight on.

      Hi all, I own two Axis UTV's. Last year I purchased a 2022 Axis 500. I had a mechanical issue with the shifting forks after only 50 miles. I contacted Axis/Hisun warranty dept. That were very helpful and willing to send out a representative to see if it was a warranty issue that fell under coverage.  Since I live in an area that does not have authorized repair facility within 300 miles. A really nice guy drove all the way from West Virginia which was 4 hours away. He determined that the console would not stay seated in position and while driving it, the console would jump forward and knock it into the wrong gear causing the shift forks to become bent. It was then picked up a few weeks latter to be repaired in Richmond, Virginia. It should arrive home soon.
      Now to my question. After the 2022 Axis 500 was taken for repairs, I bought the 2024 550 Axis. I bought the first one to take my son who is disabled from an extremely rare disorder that requires daily care to get out of the house. There are two things that give him joy, music and going for rides.  That is why I purchased the first one, However because it had bucket seats and the engine was between the two and was too loud even though I deaden the sound and put a quiet muffler on it. 
      I then decided to purchase the Axis 550 for the great updated features and the bench seat, I will be buying the complete enclosure ad on's offered by Hisun. Since it does not come with a heater (Axis 750 does) I was wondering if anyone knows what heater is part of the 750 edition. There was a photo that showed a Firestorm brand, however I can not find what variation it is. If anyone knows what a Inferno heater would be correct for the Axis 550. I would like to install it this Winter to take Justin riding on the farm. Any help would be greatly appreciated.   Brent

      Picked up an essentially new 2022 UT400 with 9 miles on it.  Decided to change the oil because it's probably never been done.  Pulled the dipstick and noticed it was overfull then went and pulled the drain plug and took off the filter and it was like brown water running out.  What should I start checking?

      Our R&D team just finished the first unit and wanted to show you guys. Need more cargo space without losing the functionality of being able to fold down the seat to use the full bed? Eagle Mountain Outfitters, the maker of the original metal UTV roof, has designed a foldable rear cargo basket to meet your needs. Price is $625 + $30 shipping.  If you have any question's, please reach out to me at [email protected]

      in desperate need of a rear differential for my 2014 wildcat 1000. It has blown up right in the midst of the hurricane that struck us here in N/W N.C. I could really use this machine right now. No luck finding this from Artic Cat or the many numerous online vendors. Any info or resources wil be greatly appreciated !

      Recently I had an overheating issue on my 2022 Coleman Outfitter 550 (Hisun UT550) and to check to make sure it was fixed I took it out for a ride around the block. After a couple cycles on the LED coolant meter, I took it for a couple mile ride and on my way back I heard a loud metallic snap then a grinding noise. It was still able to move under its own power but very slowly. I was about 2 blocks from the truck so 'I limped it home and up onto the trailer. I know I need to tear it apart and look for what broke, but anyone have a guess as to where to start? I'm seriously getting tired of this damn machine! 750 miles on it and already replaced the belt, wet clutch, primary clutch, clutch roller weights among a few other things. Seriously, this friggin machine has spent more time on the lift than on the road. I thought I bought this new because it was from the owner of a tractor supply, but he registered it under the stores name making me the 2nd owner voiding any and all warranties.
      Any Ideas what to look for would be appreciated.
      Thanks
