Here's my 04 Rhino that I received saturday night. Had to fix an oil leak because the dumb dealer forgot to put an o-ring on one of the oil return lines on the oil cooler. Also had to put the skid plates on because they are too lazy to do it. ANYWAYS, the thing kicks arse! Does about 42 mph and can go 57 mph if you change the cdi to a grizzly cdi. Has 2wd, 4wd, and 4wd locked differential. Get ready for that ride Mik6!

You should put some big mudder tires on it. :twisted: That thing is awsome.

Yeah, I plan on getting some mud tires like the highlifter outlaws and some series c 6 itp aluminum rims, but it will be awhile. The wife wasn't real happy about the purchase, then she found out about the winch. :shock:

That is one killer ride Kimmer :o

Hmmmm....I wonder if a 770 kit off a Raptor could be machined to fit it.... :D

Why all the hand holds? Where is that thing supposed to go? Up the side of a cliff? Can it? It would be cool if it only had three wheels or one less seat and the steering in the middle or both. I wouldn't like to be the rider. I'd be: GIMME THE KEYS!! GIMME THE KEYS, MAN!! GIMME THE KEYS!!

You'll be surprised what this thing can do..........and yes, it will almost go up a cliff. The hell handles are nice when you are off camber on a steep hill trying to turn around. :shock: Did that one last night and had the right rear tire 2 foot off the ground. I am very happy with this purchase!

I have to put my OFFICIAL request for a "persolalized" marine type anti-spill swivel can/cup holder for the passenger side of that thing!!! If you can't find 1 I will provide my own. Just what I need a shotgun seat for TF04 that I can sip a beer in DURRING a ride. LMFAO
I will provide a ZIP LOCK!!
GOOD LUCK W/ IT!!!!!!!!

CAN'T WAIT, LOOKING FORWARD TO IT

im curious as to why you would buy that. It is neat, but what are you going to do with it? is it a toy?? or for work or something??

Well, I accually wanted it for riding around in the woods. I looked at quads again, but this was way better because you can carry another rider with you and haul your gear or do work around the house. I prefer to drive this over my trike by far. It's like a jeep for the trails. You'll know what I mean when I take you for a ride at TF04. :-D

That is pretty cool. But why not just use a small truck to do what it does. I think a trike would be way more fun. Anyway good luck with it. And put that grizzly cdi on it :twisted:

Can't find a truck small enough...lol. This thing is like a pissed off golf cart on steroids! Anyways, bought some new hides for it already. The stock tires just are aggressive enough for me. Bought 27" itp mudlites, 10" in front and 12" width in back.

Very cool stuff...loll i love the rhino, does the rhino better than the polaris ranger

It's a WAY better machine than the ranger. The only plus of the ranger is the amount it can haul in the bed.
