What's with UPS,  After delaying my shipments, I finally got the second one, Mon at 8:pm, that's 3 days late in my book, Do they need to get some more help or better management.  With the down time, I totally disassembled both Yearben, then, again because I was waiting on UPS still, put them back together as spring mounts, no oil, on reservoir, no O-rings, just in case my mounting brackets for MY F-O-A shocks developed a problem.

Some history, when I had the F-O-As on the yellow 08 Trooper, I had to run a limit strap to keep the swing arm from going down too far and hitting the axle and knocking it out of the CV, which happened a few times.

When Joyner advised me about rebuilding the Yearben, they said I could get a bit more travel by leaving a spacer out, but I would have to run limit straps again, which was my plan until I started tearing them down and saw what I had. I had to rebuild my shocks, and it became a choice between Yearben and F-O-A. I went with the F-O-As for a lot of reasons, longer travel, dual springs, easy to build. To take advantage the longer travel, I needed to move the shock mount, so I did, I moved it back by the wheel and out, oops too far, add another mount for the top that is behind the the stock mount. Tomorrow, I'll see how I did, and I'll take some photos too.

Here's a few photos of how I remounted my rebuilt F-O-A 2.0" shocks with 2.5 coil over springs (200# over 400#) (and it feels about right), I think this is an  8" 10"  shock, but I will check and if wrong, I'll edit the post.  The limit strap is Amsteel-Blue Rope,(http://www.go2marine.com/product/38345F/samson-amsteel-blue-rope.html?WT.srch=1&WT.mc_id=gb1&utm_source=googlebase&utm_medium=productfeed&utm_campaign=googleshopping&gclid=CjwKEAjwvYPKBRCYr5GLgNCJ_jsSJABqwfw7GsayfIaI2VFV5AJMJAD1Qoe1Wojhr9ASGTsHv9qK-xoCFXPw_wcB ) so I'm sure it's strong enough!

I'm still doing finishing up things,painting, tightening and checking and need to put the deck back on and test some more.

I measured the shocks, I had 9" of shaft showing and the limit straps are holding about an inch inside, SO! they are 10".

When I set my limit straps up, set it so I have about 1/8" separation between axle and swing arm when the wheels are off the ground, then just to see if they ever make contact, I put tape on the axle and as long as the tape looks good, no contact was made.

Jeff,

Curious how you came up with rear shock mount placement? Is that where you had it on your last rig? What is the total travel? 

With the additional weight of my 32" tires I need to adjust my rebound.

Silver bullet,

Sad you don't know my vast experience with the trooper. I am one of the few veteran owners on here. 

 You should be calling me for advice.

Jeff,

With the additional weight of my 32" tires I need to adjust my rebound.

These shocks were on the yellow 08, and the seals were blown, when I bought the blue '15, they took the stock shocks off and gave them to me after putting the yearbens on, when I sold the yellow '08, I took the F-O-As off and put the new stock shocks from the blue'15 on it and kept the leaking F-O-As as spares, it's a season or two later and I need to replace the Yearbens, so this is where I'm at now.

The placement of the lower shock mount was by MY choice, my theory being that all the forces down on the swing arm should be as close to center of the wheel as possible to reduce the tendency to cause the swing arm to roll from rolling, as it did on the yellow'08 and I had to change the right swing arm because the right side tire had a bad inward lean at the top, it may have come that way and I didn't notice.  

The upper mount was because I put the lower one back too far, the shock is compressed about an inch with the limit straps, So I have about 9 inches of shock travel and without taking the springs off, I can't be sure of what the wheel travel is.

As for a good ride, I think I hit my target pretty good, went for a ride yesterday and when I came to a pretty good whoop, I didn't back out of it or any thing else and was very please how the Trooper took it, so was the wife.  I have 200# 10" over 400# 10" springs and it's been so long since I messed with the valving washers, I'm not sure how I have them set. 

I uploaded a .AVI video here, it's 10 minutes of the wheel going round and round and the shock going up and down.

      Front Shocks for Landpride Treker 4200NT
      By KimAC
      I need a pair of front shocks for a Landpride Treker 4200NT, from 2005?  Does anyone know of a good salvage yard - or another source?
      The old shocks have "SEBAC 11685 12 3" stamped on them (or something very close - it's hard to read). I think SEBAC are (were?) an Italian company.
      Is there a compatible shock I can use? I don't have easy access to a scrap yard where I can compare shocks etc.
      Thanks,
      -Kim

      sector e1 regen has stopped (mostly) working
      By mark walkom
      the regen braking on my e1 has stopped working unless (for eg) I am going down a hill in low and it's slowing things down to stick to the 10kph limit. when I drive and take my foot off the accelerator it's not initiating the regen to slow things down and instead just coasts at whatever speed it is at, or speeds up as the regen is not limiting it. the brake lights work, so it's probably not a fault with the sensor on the brake pedal
       
      hoping someone else might be able to provide some suggestions on things to check, as the mob that I bought it off seem to have gone silent on me

      Now that I have done the LI-Ion batt conversion, I need to do something about the suspension
      By Kingfish
      The conversion took about 350lbs. off the vehicle.  It never rode great, but now I feel every  crack in the road.  I have backed off spring compression nut to the point just under where they would move around if suspension was at full extension, but it is still very stiff.  I would like to put some softer coilover springs on it, but I have no idea what the spring rate is with the original springs so I would just be guessing on what to order.  Does anyone have the data for the original spring compression rate?  I am willing to give up a little ground clearance for a softer ride. Right now when sitting still the rear suspension is at or near full extension and the rear tires have several degrees of camber which will cause uneven wear if allowed to continue in this state.

      Anyone have a Bad Boy Bandit?
      By mac66
      Apparently, these are Hisun or at least they use Hisun engines. I can't find much info on them online yet.  Ran across a used one with just 100 miles on it as a very reasonable price.  Just curious.
      Okay, more info...they are owned by Textron Corp who also owns Bell Helicopter, Cessna & Beechcraft aircraft, Ez-Go & Cushman and Arctic Cat and a bunch of other companies.
      So are thy cheap Chinese crap machines or are they good to go?

      How to wire a C/B into a dual battery set up
      By FGT
      QUESTION: How to wire the C/B into this current dual battery set up.

      EXISTING SITUATION: MAIN Battery is OEM and feeds OEM circuits. Added an AUX Battery in the OEM dual battery location. Connected the AUX - terminal to the MAIN - terminal. Connected the 100A Accessory Fuse Block power cable to the AUX + terminal. Installed a smart isolator between AUX and MAIN batteries where a cable from AUX + goes to the isolator and a cable from isolator to MAIN battery + terminal. Installed separate QD battery tender cables to both AUX and MAIN batteries + and -. The dual battery system appears to work as intended. For this Phase 1 improvement, to avoid having to constantly pull the leads on the AUX + battery post off and put on, for testing or maintenance of Accessory circuits, I wanted a more convenient and safer way to open the circuit from the AUX battery + terminal the Accessory Fuse Block. I called an off road dealership and was told to install a much larger capacity circuit breaker than the 100A rated Fuse Block and was recommended to get a 250A C/B like the one in the pic, which I did. I was told the reason for the C/B high amp rating was two-fold (a) to trip in the event of a battery short circuit and (b) to be able to conveniently open the C/B to kill power to the Accessory Fuse Block without removing leads from the AUX + terminal. The 250A C/B has two posts labelled "BAT LOAD" and "BAT LINE". There are currently three connections to the AUX + post: (1) Accessory Fuse Block power cable, (2) cable to Isolator AUX in terminal, (3) cable from AUX battery charger.
