I havent done anything to the rhino yet, completely stock. I have been asking some questions about the pipe, silencer combos etc.
Is it worth putting the pipe on, or just do the jet kit and uncork it?
Also anyone running paddles for the sand? Any input? :cool: :rollside:

in the looks,seats,belts,paint etc,leave the motor stock for warranty for now.I have heard paddles arent needed,4wd and 1200 pounds it shouldnt really need them.The Black rhino CDI is a good investment,and the digital display dash piece

As odd as it might sound,thats not a bad idea.Especially on how short the wheelbase is and how they kick up in the back so bad.

tough to see,but their heads dont even reach the top of the seat,then with 4 way belts they should be okhttp://www2.***boat.com/image_center/data/510/2371rhinoseats_3.JPG

I heard they were passing the law that any off-road vehicle passengers must wear helmets. Anybody know truth in that??

Quick solution to your wheel base. Switch the stock rims and tires around. (Offset is out instead of in), You won't belive how much the handling is better, as well as side to side sway. Pipe air box jet kit sucks, aint worth it. Cut your pipe tip so it points straight, cuts down on the dust blowing up. I can't take credit for these improvements, Drive it like ya stole it came up with it. You would think someone would come out with power for it, hopefully soon.

Hmm.. I have heard the pipe isnt worth it but I wanted more info.
What about the cdi box, worth it or not?
I am not much up on the bling as we will use it out in the desert a a chase vehicle etc.

One safety item that are a definite must have for these things are wrist restraints. We had 2 in our camp that rolled last year with kids in the passenger seats. Natural instinct for them is to grab for the roll bar on top. Pretty severe damage to their hands.

CDI box is a must and I would do K&N for sure The pipe thing wasn't a Drive it idea once again he's swinging from my nuts.... :eek: They sell a cool billet tip on Ebay that's cool and the same guy sells 1.75" wheel spacers.

You might of been quicker off the line, but on the big end I handed you your ass back. :D And the only reason you got off the line faster is your skinny little body ways about as much as my wiener. :D :D BTW, you and your darling better half would of had a great time this last weekend.
