Finaly got a Rhino
It's a bit loud and slow, but I think me and the wife are really going to like it. Lots of stuff in route before the first trial ride this weekend.

Re: Finaly got a Rhino
Well I figured out the tolerance of lateral g-force the rhino is capable of sustaining
 and that it really needs doors to keep feet and legs inside. That sickening thud when the roll-cage hit the ground sounded like a leg separator for sure. Never attempt any semblance of a donut with these things. Once they start, no amount of counter-steer can overcome the inevitable it seems. On the bright side, no one was hurt much and the scratches on the roll cage blended in with the tree rash.So far I have a an after market CDI, Dial-a-jet, Pro armor A-arm skids, half doors, wheel spacers, rear-view mirror (mounts inside on the upper roll bar) and a few other nick-nacks. I'm considering a exhaust but I need it to be very quiet for hunting rabbits  . No need for informing the whole county that I'm on my way. I also need a single cylinder tach since the new CDI has removed the factory rev limiter. Also, no trailer, no matter how big, is big enough.

Re: Finaly got a Rhino
Careful with that thing, a friend of mine badly broke his arm when flipping an Odyssey without arm restraints.
