George and I had such a great time last week-end that we are eager to get plans under way for our next Jamboree. I'm starting a poll then we can fine tune it.

IMHO, It should be South of Nevada; Southern Cal, AZ or New Mexico. That was a LONNNNNNNNG pull! The White Mountains between AZ & New Mexico.

Its going to be a long haul for me anywhere unless you all come up here. But the closest thing to call a cool trail would be the Black Hills in South Dakota or Rocky's in Montana. I vote for MOAB.

We are still currently in Moab. It is the coolest, best, most extreme off-road location we have EVER been to. It is GREAT! We will report more on another thread when we get home.

Another location central to a lot of Trooper owners is Quartzsite, AZ. We should try to find a location within a day drive for most. Driving two-three days to ride of a couple of days is not FUN!

Is Quartzsite better in the fall and winter? What kind of terrain?

Located 20 miles East of the Cal/AZ border on I10.

I am going to plot on a map a 300 mile radius from each person's listed location. This will provide an area that is common to everyone. I am pretty sure the only area will be Quartzite.

From the map it looks like almost everyone is in the SLC area? Should we have two get togethers one in the fall/winter months and one in the summer? Let me know so George can schedule time off.

IMHO!

Looking at the data, Fall, Mountains & over a weekend.

My suggestions, Cinda's spot in UT, Rubicon Trail in Lake Tahoe (one of the premier off-road trails), Farmington, New Mexico (get Daven the local dealer to act as the host, incredible trails like Moab) or White Mountains of AZ. Timeframe - Sept/Oct '10. We already have commitments for then so would have to work around them. My two cents!

Side notes:

We plan to take the Trooper to Kino Bay (Mexico) & Rocky Point (Mexico) over Xmas & New Years.

We plan to take the Trooper with us to Baja this winter. Will leave early Feb. and return 4-6 weeks later. We will be traveling the full length.

Anybody interested? You are welcome to follow!

Sometime in Nov or early Dec would be good for Quartzite. I would go if I have the beast finished. AND it should be! Let me know & one of us can start another thread/topic for just Quartzsite.

Good to start hearing from you again Cinda. Hope all is well. I think that getting plans for a fall jamboree is here. I sorta of spearheaded the first one so I'll stay out of the next one. But, I do look forward to going, I have no problem with driving a ways. However, if it's in Arizona or California, I'll have to drop one trailer at the boarder, pull the other one in and then backtrack to get the left behind trailer. This is OK so long as it's not 300 miles inside the boarder. Double trailers are OK for me in Nevada and Utah. Anyway someone needs to take charge and make it happen by consolidating everyones input and zeroing in on a place and time. I willing to go pretty much anywhere and at most any time. I only have a few important things comming up that only take one day and would take priority. Looking forward to seeing everyone again and hopefully we'[l see some new faces.

Doubles are also OK in AZ.

Just got back from Lake Havasu, AZ. Bad News if your pulling a bumper pull trailer and your trooper on a trailer behind it you will get a ticket, I found out the hard way. But if you are pulling a fifth wheel you can tow behind it. go figure. After an extra tank of fuel and an extra trip back to Havasu to vegas then to st george and my 175.00 dollar ticket I think I'm going to look into a toy hauler. Just thought I'd let you all know what AZ doubles rule is.

Sorry you got bit by the law but I believe that is the only way I have heard you can double pull in the Southwest. Trailer has to be a fifth wheel. TT pulls are just not stable enough. Oh well you will enjoy the Toyhauler. I have a Raptor 3612DS and the Trooper fits fine. I do only pull it 60 mph as in total it is a huge load.

WELCOME!

I just don't get it, that was my fourth trip down and back and never had been stopped before.

Thanks for the welcome

      Have a Coleman UTV 400 that cranks, runs, drives well until it gets warm and is put under load.  Light throttle or full throttle it doesn't bog, but it will cut out mid throttle if you move the pedal quicker than it seems to like for example when you're getting ready to go up a hill, but if you immediately floor it, it will do just fine and not cut out.  It's random if and when it's going to do it, but is consistent in that it happens only when hot/full operating temperature.  I've replaced the injector twice, same with the spark plug and tried different heat ranges (NGK 7,8 and 8 iridium), replaced the fuel pump, adjusted the valves, checked air filter which is like new, changed the oil, replaced the fuel filter.  No check engine light.  I don't have a code reader for this.  Initially I thought it might have a head or head gasket issue as when I got it, the oil was over full, very runny like water milky and it was smoking.  I've changed the oil since then twice to clear and clean everything out, and it seems to be good.  Coolant stays the same level and so does oil with no changes in consistency or need for adding more. Had I think 7-9 miles when I got it and now has about 77.  What should I try or consider next?

      Hi All,
      New here, but bought a 2022 Sector 750 brand new last march (old stock up here in Canada)
      It's a good bike so far, but I have noticed a quirk and was wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue?
       
      The issue I've had is if I leave the utv parked on any incline, not even a major incline, and leave it to sit for a while (day or two) it will not start properly. It will turn over and not fire until I press the gas pedal, when it will run and rev up, but if I let off the gas it will die. It will keep doing this until I either start it in gear and drive it for a bit or leave it in neutral and roll it down the hill to flatter ground. where it will have to sit for a while. 
      If I park it on a decline there is no issue. fuel is not low, it's occurred a couple times now. 
       
      Any thoughts on the cause of this? Dealership just says bring it in and let them take a look, at my expense of course.

      I would really like to know what you guys think about this. I'll try not to ramble and make it as clear as I can.
       
      I took this new job with companyX as a fiber splicer a year ago. I have a 45' bucket truck and 10or12 x 8 ft enclosed splice trailer I have to take home. Within the last 6 months all the management in the splice dept left. Now the power/construction management and higher ups are filling in. Just recently we were told travel to our 1st job is not payable even though we are in a company vehicle. 
      We are union so I asked the union business manager about this. His reply was be grateful you were paid travel as long as you were and that you don't have to drive your POV to the job.
       
      Last week I had 50hr total. The job area is 4-4.5 hrs away. My time was reduced to 44.5 hrs since we were told this travel thing on Tuesday of that week. I wasn't hired for this area. I was hired for area a lot closer to home. 
       
      Pay is good. Work is not hard. Insurance is through the union and so far pretty good.
      But I hate the thought of having to work extra just to make a 40hr paycheck. Anyone who has to drive as part of their job knows windshield time is not easy.
       
      Anyway what do you guys think. Should I look for a different job or just suck it up because of the decent pay and health insurance.
