Has anyone here actually bought a Rhino? how are they? can they g any where atvs go?

 

I just bought an 06 Rhino and I have to say I am really impressed and really happy I bought one. I will testin the heck out it hunting this next 2 weeks. I put deer in it hopefully and maybe a few hogs. I will have a sticky mud report when I get back. The mud where we are going is some slippery clay so I will see how my ITP Mudlites will do 26 inchers are going to do....

 

A buddy of mine has one and we went to the dunes last weekend at Glamis. He was able to go anywhere I could. That thing is mean. Just don't put anyone in the back. He put a bench seat in the back and I rode around in back for a bit. We bottomed out in the back so many times and it hits hard. I had to jump out and walk after a bit because my back and neck were killing me. It's got tons of power though.

 

I just spent two weeks in Texas hunting and I did have a guy in the back. We weren't jumping it or riding it hard, just because I didn't want to scare the deer. I do have to say this thing climbs like a billy goat. I drove it through the ponds and stopped in the water to see if it would get stuck. I did not get stuck nor did I even come close to getting stuck. I do have to say that I threw on some ITP mud lites and these really make a nice addition and truly make this thing unstoppable. I gave it about 3 days of riding before I called it broke in. Then, I whomped on it to the limiter. I don't have the Speedo on it yet, it was on back order. But I had a truck follow me and it hit about 45 mph. I put a deer in it and hauled it back to the house. I worked over 1800 acres and had not one problem. I do have to say that the ITP tires seem aggressive but they don't rip up the terrain if you don't get into it. I liked that. The last thing is the stock lighting is weak. So I have designed a custom light bar for it and it will hold 3-5 55 watt HID driving lights. The width is perfect. If it was six inches wider it would have been too wide for driving through the trees. I would put money on it that the arctic cat prowler will take a back seat in the woods. In some cases I only had an inch or two of clearance. The roughest area I got into was a creek bed and it was crazy. It was at night and it had 1-2 foot ditches everywhere. I just put it in 4 WD and aimed it and crawled right through it. I had the front end up in the air an at most times I had one tire in the air. The independent suspension was awesome!! That’s it for now. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
