Handling Differences

Picture is worth 1000 words.

My $300 Trooper just became more valuable as parts vs a running vehicle.



The Maroon Trooper was on scene to pull it back over in about 20 min. Still runs and drives just fine, but it's totaled. Anyone want parts?

How in the hell di you do that?!? Trying to do donuts in the field again?

I would have at least tried to photoshop a boulder in there or something to give a reason for tipping over....

Yeah, that's pretty much what happened. First time I'd ever taken that truck in the field. I tried an E-brake slide but it just dug in and tipped over. Not very dramatic.

Maroon Trooper flipped it back over no problem and I drove it home. If the windshield and the pillar on that side weren't destroyed, it'd still be a fine driver. That side was already smashed, so it didn't end up that much worse (broken glass now though).

I didn't think my '90 Trooper would have the traction to pull the '94 back over, so I had my dad bring his Kubota up to the field. Turns out the tractor didn't have the stones to pull it over, but my old trooper in 4-Lo did it without even grunting.

Ha ha shitty.

Too bad I have no need for a 2nd gen. But if you are going to turf it make sure you pull the drivetrain. That is worth a lot of money. The frame could easily be sold as well but the body is useless.
