#1 Re: The X Spot » Joyner Troopers? » 2009-08-20 16:30:32

I took my joyner T4 to dumont a couple weeks ago for the sand drags. It did better than expected. Need to air the tires down to around 5. I got stuck a couple times - mostly driver error, not staying on the gas - but was able to get out using reverse or first gear. didn't have paddles...just the stock tires. I've ridden it pretty hard in the desert and have approx 500 miles on it with no problems yet. If you are looking to carve it up on big dunes, this is not the buggy, get a RZR. But if you are looking for a more "family" fun ride that is truly built for 4 passengers, the trooper could work well for you. It's all about what you expect and how you plan to use it. We recently took it from Duck Creek Utah to Bryce Canyon only using dirt roads and it was awesome. Lots of room to bring stuff and it was very comfortable.

Been great so far. A couple little problems with the gauges, but ...but it HAS gauges. Full instrumentation. I have a 2009. I race Best in the Desert Races and this machine is burly. Trailing arms, a-arms, tie rods...are heavy duty and professionally welded and powder coated. The drive train is strong and well mounted. The rev limiter needs to go, but probably saves a lot of engines for rookie drivers. Comes standard with a winch, 5pt harnesses and race seats that are comfortable. The shocks are good for stock, but dial them in. They come with far too much pre-load from the factory. They worked well after dialing them in. The mounts are standard and you can probably use a number of shocks depending on preference. All 4 seats are adjustable and there is storage below 3/4 seats. The roll cage is well built and the light bar is awesome. I don't think another UTV comes stock with 6 - 6" lights. Street legal in Utah.  The weakness is that it's a bit heavy - 1700 lbs, and its long, 160". Doesn't fit in my 28 ft. hauler. It comes with a mud light type tire and the bolt pattern is Polaris. Access to the air filter and oil check/filter are good. Has grab bars for the back and front passenger. It climbs like a billy goat. You can lock the hubs from the inside and lock front, back or both. The brakes and clutch are hydraulic. The clutch is sweeeet. Its fast even with the rev limiter. Did 63 mph on the highway. A turbo charger can be added to bring it up to 150 hp. You would probably need to install wheel spacers and offset wheels to widen it up with the extra power. I'll let you know if I break it.
