I was wondering if the community here at SXS Forum might enjoy another "Make" catagory? Something like "OTHER" for those who own Deeres, Joyners, CanAms, etc.
And here is the teaser.......when I first got my Joyner Trooper (which is now in the process of reinventing the company)....I was drag racing a few "other" makes of SXSs out at the Oregon Dunes Rec Area, and blowing the doors off of even Polaris Razor's (1st year model) They have now substancially fixed the power to weight ratio (something I am working on for my Trooper. YES....It's a Lead Sled; but it's getting better) So there's a "raz" for ya, just to get interest going. How bout it?

For awhile I was trying to sell it to get a snowmobile; so I came up with this short video; only to find out that Craigslist won't let you link to YouTube. It's kinda goofy; but I was trying to sell it.

My wife and I were just talking yesterday that we want to make a trip to Moab this year. I've been there once before, but didn't have my UTV yet. It's a truly AWESOME place! I'm blown away that the state of Utah is so off road "friendly" considering the beauty of the natural landscape. Nothing against Nevada and Arizona; but in those states there isn't much to ruin. The state of Oregon is very closed minded to off roaders unless you are in to sand. It's a 6 hour drive to the coast dunes, and almost 3 hours with 1 on a bad road to Christmas Valley. I was planning on selling my UTV this winter and get a sled instead because there is literally nothing but closed areas that will allow class 2 vehicles here. But then I picked up a new map and it seems there are some new areas opened up for class 2 close to where I live. Yippy!

Thanks! Yeah; when I first saw the Trooper; I didn't like the looks of it. My Bro-in-law had a customised Rhino, and thats what I thought looked kinda cool. But he spent probably 12K aftermarket getting it looking and performing the way he wanted it. The Trooper came with lots of extras included; so from a price standpoint; I went for the Trooper. Other than the Joyner factory going out of business; I've never really regretted buying it. It will climb anythoing practically; and I can still out run stock Rhino's and early Razors. The Trooper had a VERY ugly engine cover/rear rack setup that was not even useful; so I cut it off and reinforced the roll cage. This year I will put on a King Shock upgrade and a chip that will give me some more horsepower. (hopefully)

I kinda hate this place; but it's nice to not have crowds. The road there is 8 miles of washboard after a 2 hour drive south of Bend, Oregon. We NEED more riding areas in Central Oregon!

I'm Ken from Bend Oregon. Well; I'll admit it right off the bat. I am one of the people who bought a Joyner Trooper. It's an 07' T2 that frankly I really like (except for the monsterous weight) I've modded it a bit; but mostly just cosmetic stuff. Hope I can find some (not hostile) UTVrs around that will accept a dinosaur in their forum without too much razzing.
