Yamaha Rhino Buildup

[Tacoma747]

Building rear seat mounts, door bars, and a rear cage/bumper for someone. I have to say, this thing is more fun (I think) than a 4-wheeler. Especially for two people (in this case, 4 people). Now a racing type 4-wheeler is alot of fun by yourself, but don't handle as good with two people. This thing will run 40 MPH stock, once he puts a new computer chip on, it will run about 50-55 MPH. Selectable locker in the front and center diffs, it would be a ton of fun at Tellico and Uwharrie.

Only pic I have so far is the seats, my battery went dead so I couldn't snap a pic of the rear bumper. I think the rear seat would be comfortable for people 6' and under. Perfect for young kids. More pics to come as progress ensues.

Got pics of the whole thing? We have a gator on the farm that i have beat the piss out of...even built a stinger for it, took off the bed and govenor to make it faster but it still wont hit anywhere near 40MPH. Still fun to jump it though...till you break off the coilovers.

Rhinos are huge out in so cal. There are even a few rhino boards and a BITD rhino racing class you could get some ideas from if you needed.
I also agree with the fact you could build a street legal flatty for the same price and be far better off, but..the cool factor is there.

This thing is SMOOTH, haven't taken it off any jumps (remember, it is not mine), but I bet it would do pretty good. Feels much more stable than a 4-wheeler, but the only problem is you can't throw your weight around like you can on a 4-wheeler.

Over bumps and stuff, it rides much smoother than our Honda 300 Fourtrax. I feel for sure it would be WAY better than a Gator.

I was drooling over Robby Gordon's at Atlanta Motor Speedway this weekend, the thing was awesome! Long travel front and rear with King Shocks, full cage, mastercraft front seats and rear bench, customer fiberglass and paint. Everyone else cruises around on a galf cart but he goes in style.

I love those things too, just pricey. I like the idea of building of a rig that you can drive to the trails for the same price.

I was hoping you were going to do this to it.

Now that's a Tonka Toy! Awesome!

It's not mine unfortunately. I saw it on craigslist the other day. I think it would be a fun machine to have though.

Here are some more pics, they are HORRIBLE I know, my camera sucks in the dark. Rear cage and bumper are what you are looking at.

[Tacoma747]

Here are some pics. All I have left are the door bars for the driver/passenger. I also have to take the windshield back out and smooth up the bottom edge a little.

sick

I am surprised that is not adding a ton of weight, not to mention 2 more folks on it? Start to get underpowered after a while?

I'll be hittin' you up for some work on the Bronco soon.....

Two people can lift the cage easily.

His daughters are 2 and 4, so they won't weigh much for awhile.

If you had to full grown men in the back you could probably ride a wheelie, but with the kids and everything it will probably add 300 lbs MAX (after they grow up some).
