Hello to all.

Well I just got me a used trooper, (2009), and have a few questions that I haven't seen on here.

First some info on my T2, seems pretty much stock with the exception of a new muffler with the cat removed, It has 31x10.50x15 firestone destination ATs on it, yes they do rub, so I have a new set of swamper TSL, 29x9.50x15 I'm mounting now. It's street legal here in Oklahoma with everything the state requires already on it. .Great toy that goes any where I've wanted to take it so far. Now for the questions, what kind of mileage can I expect on a tank of gas. What weight of oil does it need. What pressure do the stock shocks need to run, previous owner bled them down so now I have to find a place to get them charged. Hope to here from some trooper owners around N.E. Oklahoma. Most people I've told about it an shown it to have never herd of Joyner, they treat it like cheap junk from china until I take them for a ride an go places they cant believe it goes. Actually our ran a wildcat on the top end. :D

welcome I have an 09 trooper as well running 30' zillas no rub except bottom of my extended fenders at full flex. Oil I think I am running 10-30 Castro synthetic and gear oil I run whats in the manual I think its 750-140 synthetic as well. As far as the shocks go I am not sure I run a full air shock for flexing its the stock ones it wont be much try Kinarfis post or message him he played with the shocks a lot. I live in ma and a lot people here think its Chinese junk too till I have to pull someone home or climb that hill rock or mud hole no one can. Theres a lot of good info here some little overwhelming but helpfull

Thanks Charlie, that helps. I'm waiting on my manual from the guy I got this from. I did figure out with no pressure in the shocks you don't want to go fast on my rough blacktop roads, feels like your on a giant air hockey table with no control. LOL. shocks are first on my fix it list.

Thanks Kinarfi. ( Wow, now that's a manual) I found a performance tire shop to charge my shocks to 125psi. $25 for all 4 shocks. (seems cheap enough considering I didn't have to remove them). I'm hitting the sand today at a small local spot so we'll see how this thing handles. Am blessed with a ton of places from 25 - 1500 acres to ride within 20 miles of home. every thing from sand, mud, rock crawling, big open trails and tight wooded trails. Thanks again.

      As with any forum you join, there is a requirement for an obligatory introduction... and that seems fair. How else do you get that first post in there without jumping in with some stupid question right out of nowhere?

      Hi. I'm Space Ghost. Well, not really, but that was my call sign on my last deployment before an IED made me non-deployable, and I an now retired/disabled, and living on my wonderful VA disability. I did almost 28 years in total between the Army, Army Reserve, and National Guard. 1 deployment with the Reserve (Desert Storm) and 3 with the Guard (1 pre, and 2 post 9/11)

      Married (going on 30 years) one of each. (both out of the nest)
       
      Just picked up my first side by side a couple days ago. A 2020 Can-Am Defender HD10 DPS 6x6. 

       
      It's in pretty good shape, but as you can probably tell, it's sitting a bit high. Former owner put a lifting collar on the shocks. 

       
      The good = almost 17" of ground clearance. (30" tires) 
      The bad = incredibly steep driveline angles, and a pretty stiff ride. 
       
      They will be coming off. 
       
      Other than that... clean as a pin and appears very well maintained. 
       
      Looking forward to seeing what this forum can bring, and hoping I can bring something in return.

      Howdy new member here . My hobby's Rabbit dogs , gamefowl . I'm retired from my real job but I stay busy with the hounds and gamefowl . So to help around the farm I ran across an old 2007 CC Big Country 4x2 to haul feed , water , sprayer and my sorry a$$ .It is in pretty good shape , 781 hrs. good plastic , tires, ect. . But as anything outside and 18 years old it needs seats ! The thing I have found wrong mechically the Diff. Lock Acturtor is broken where it mounts to the bracket ( partly why Im here ) . Hoping someone here can help  ! Just my wish list but Id like to find a roll cage and a composit/plastic top for it Im thinking I'll need a donor to salvage these things from ( again partly why Im here ) .Is there another brand that uses this same actuator? If anyone reads this and has or knows of any of threse parts PLEASE HOLLER !! 
      Again Howdy brothers & sisters

      Hello All...
           Just bought a 2014 Massimo 500 UTV.  It;s not running at the moment, but hopefully will soon.  I need a seat for it also (passenger side, if it makes any difference.)  It is a crank-but no start situation.  Just now starting to read the boards for solutions.  Apparently these models are well known for this issue.  If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to chime in, it would be greatly appreciated.
      Thanks

      Unfortunately my rear Diff housing cracked on my 2013 and I need to replace it or find a good used complete differential.  I think the same one was used from 2013-2016?  Any help or referrals appreciated.  Thanks, Gary  (949)370-2575 (in UT)
