Rhino steering stabilizer???

Anyone know of one?

I haven't seen one yet.
I did see a powersteering conversion at the SSS but it looked very complicated and very pricey...$2500
It wouldn't hurt as it likes to try and rip your hands off when you hit a rock at speed.:hammerhea

Never mind... I just got off the phone with Howe Performance and they are going to be building a power steering unit for it within the next two to three weeks... That will be the deal...

Yeah, I smashed my thumbnail pretty badly last weekend. I keep the thumbs out of the wheel of course, but it spins so fast it just drilled me with the spoke.
That thing really rips around when you hit hard...

I don't know whats worse to have a slippery plasticy stock wheel like mine or a aftermarket one that is metal!!??
When it's dusty it's hard to grip the stocker but it has never hurt me.:hammerhea :skull:

Do what I did... order a Grant Formula GT five bolt wheel from Rex Marine. It is aluminum centered, but has a pretty nice thick rubber wheel. It doesn't hurt anywhere near as badly and gives you a great grip on the outside without putting your thumbs in the wheel like the skinny stocker. Plus, it is a greater diameter giving you more leverage. They have a smaller version but I don't recommend it.
I bought number #436 161 11 ( http://www.rexmar.com/page90.html )
the Grant adapter (I don't know the number but they do...) and the billet steering hub #457 985 ( http://www.rexmar.com/page92.html )
Works great.

Wes, I'm trying to remember the name of the company, but there is someone out there that makes steering stabilizers for quads etc... You might be able to adapt it to a rhino.

My jeep doesn't do that, and it has a steering damper too. :mix:

Your jeep wouldn't fit in this...

Additionally, it does do that. Try driving it without the dampener. My Jeep did too, and so did my Scout. The Scout did it worse than the Rhino in fact. At least the Jeep was power steering.
Plus, your Jeep would not have survived the 45 mph drive that I took in the Rhino. Mine wouldn't. Last time I did something like that in a regular 4wd I broke the front shackle mount off and tore the steering box off the frame... no kidding.
I can't believe how capable they are.

Are those BFG's on your rhino. If so, where do I get a set. I keep tearing up my ITP's around the neighborhood on the asphalt. Thanks.

I got mine from the local Off Road place. I bought the 14" rims from Brian at www.longtravelrhino.com They are "Motosports Alloys" and they are called the Climax's or something. The BFG's are 27x9x14".
