Hi guys; I just thought it would be kind of a fun topic to discuss what our plans for this year are for our Troopers. I have been taking welding classes at my local community college and want to get some real use out of the skills I learn.

Mine "Trooper" goals for this year are:

1. To replace the front shocks with better ones.

2. To reinforce the roll cage in order to protect me and my wife if we should turn over.

3. To add a grab bar on the passenger side

4. To build a front bumper/skid plate

5. To aquire a good crossover GPS so I don't get lost

Got my Trooper in June 08 and made a few changes so far

1 5 volt mini usb power for GPS and power outlet for spot light and such

2 Glove box with lid

3 Trunk box on the rear deck, to hold canes, jack, blankets, coats, food, etc

4 Changed all tires over to 27x8.5x14 General Grabbers AT2 on 6" rims

5 Changed out lower ball joints because one fell out and the rubber seals were crap

6 Hinged the hood at the front

7 Put another storage box under the hood.

8 Modified the fuel system so it does NOT run out of fuel going down hill **I HOPE** + other stuff

9 Quick Oil drain valve

10 Easy remove bolts on skid plates - still changing things there - remounted brake line junctions

11 Moved the radiator fan backward 3/4 inch so air can be draw from more area of the rad

Currently working on

1 Centering the steering wheel and working on the steering box, changing boots and making it turn the same amount left and right

2 Changing out upper ball joints and adding Zerk fittings - One of them has broken the weld and backed out about 1/8 inch - (Done)

3 Put a block in front of the dash to keep dust & splash off the front wheels from entering through all the holes there

Future projects

1 Add cruise control - tied to engine rpm

2 Add muffler

3 Change seat belts - Probably just 2 point and modify the shoulder straps

3. Remove Storage from under driver seat to make room for the heater.

4. Install my 30 inch mudlites on my ss rims. (Already Done) Then stick on machine.

5. Install the HID lighting. (Already installed 2 J W Speaker lights waiting on my other 2)

6. Convert the flat panel on passenger side to a true glove box with lid and latch.

7. Replace front lights with HID replacement bulb and ballast.

8. Add muffler to quiet things down a bit.

Thats all ive got for now ill try to post pictures as soon as i can or as i get projects done.

Nice job. I made mine adjustable too. I find different riders all adjust it differently so adjustable is useful.

      I want to ditch my Kubota RTV-XG850 and its moronic twitchy throttle design flaw, get rid of the problematic engine and the 40 mph purposely throttled speed.
      So far, I'm looking at the Honda Pioneer 1000 and the Polaris Ranger 1000, both of which have 1000-1500 lb payload bed capacity.
      What other makes and models should I be looking at?
       
      Thanks for the help!

      I have a Kubota RTV -X900 that I recently got from someone that is in good condition.  I'm trying to determine what year it is all to no avail.  I have the 16 digit product identification number and have gone on line to multiple sites with no luck.  The number is A5KB2FDBCFG024444 .  I'd appreciate it if someone could give me an idea where to look this number up and get the year on this unit.  Thanks in advance.

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 !!
