You can get some shocks for the Rhino that work great for $1300 now. Bilstein.

[Magic34]

After all the $$$ INSman has, he is still rolling stocker wheels and tires?
Isn't this the same guy that built a backup house in Havasu when building his current home there?

I'll probably get those when I'm ready. I'd really like to ride in one with them first though. I'm in the air between those and WER's

[Todd969]

I would do the $1295 deal if not doing extended arms. They have run the crap out of these shocks and I have heard great things.
I bought a set for the Prowler a few weeks ago. Installing them next week after I replace the bent tie rod in it.

For the couple hundred extra I'll probably end up with the aluminum. Plus I kinda have my eye on the LSR +3 kit. With that I'll still be able to squeeze between the gates on the guad trails by the cabin. :D

[Todd969]

Alright PHUCKERS now that you've turned this into a shock thread I am going to get my new windshield installed.
Dave, you can buy my old 1/2 shield for $50 w\all hardware.
Have a nice day:)

All are welcome but I didn't really want to plan something out and have 50 rhinos show.(We will be riding sturday/sunday if your intrested:D )
If you guys are game for a AZ parker ride sunday to the desert bar I might be able to arrange that. (We have to trailer/truck to the AZ side)

We are doing the Topoc deal for Saturday, but would love to join you for the Parker/Desert Bar deal on Sunday which is pretty much what I was planning anyway. I will PM you my number in Havasu, so we can connect.

Yup, I'll post some pics when it's done or the following Presidents weekend on the ride.

[melbatoast]

I think Walker Evans shocks won the shock shoot out put on by side x side mag. They are the only one that is 16 way adjustable w/res.

[Kilrtoy]

I thought those things fit in back of trucks
or atleast that was the big selling point

It will, but better if a long bed and will not fit as well if spacers are added. Just easier with a trailer when all is said and done

[Magic34]

Dont you wish!

[Magic34]

With spacers it will still fit. Just not with a really deep offset and spacers. Stock offset and spacers, it will fit.

[INSman]

Dont you wish!
No, I wish for your sake that it does !!! :D

[Magic34]

No, I wish for your sake that it does !!! :D
Blah, blah, blah. See you next Friday.

Sure they do, but I have a nice trailer to haul it around when needed.

Cool Todd, thanks.. Now we need to get me a half windshield and I wonder if your template would fit for 07's ?!?

[Todd969]

It's the cage not windshield. I have no idea how TCB bends their steel and if they change the width at all. Best bet is to have the cage installed and I can make a template, run it to Finneys and have him cut it. Let me go take a pic of my new 3/4 shield.

Todd,
He will have a 2" diameter cage and I believe it goes straight up, however the angle is fairly aggressive.

[Todd969]

Here's my new one. Dana and I drove it to Javalina lastnite and it works great. The area below it allows just enough wind to come thru to keep the dust to a minimum. Going to get it fitted for a bimini top today:)

How did you guys attach the leg minders to the rear of the cage? (Since the cage mount is diff in 07)
I can't see how it attaches?:)

[Todd969]

2":eek: for godsakes man it's a rhino not a trophy truck. Does TCB make a W\S ? The angle isn't important, but finding 2" clamps to hold it might be. My cage is 1 3/4".

Freaking nascar guys;):skull:
We will take pictures for you;)

It's done at the seatbelt area, I'll go grab a closeup pic.

Yes, but it is aluminum. .156 wall. The whole cage weighs 60 pounds. Less than stock.
TCB has some 2" clamps that may work. Looking at your mounts, it looks like they could make those holes bigger too.

[Todd969]

These mount very clean with the stock seatbelt bolt.

I like your new cage looks good.
Can the rear rack hold a cooler/gas jug or was it designed for a tire?

[Magic34]

Do not put a gas jug back there.

[Magic34]

Todd,
Here is a picture of the cage. He is getting the same one.

Actually it's a cooler rack, but as you can see the stock 25x10 tire fits great. Since mine will not be a 4 seater we still throw the cooler or whatever in the bed.

[Cole Trickle]

LOL....what if I use 3 bungie cords?:D :devil:

Did you adjust the Elkas for the extra weight? Looked like the rear was sagging in a couple pics(The cage was playing tricks on me I thought the rear section was slanting down for a second)

It's set at 11" I can put more preload, but like how it drives right now.
