As incredible as our Rhino has been I learned it is not entirely indestructible.Found a few issues with my 2008 Rhino's frame this week. Just a suggestion that owners take a few minutes to really inspect their Rhino frame- It appears we damaged it initially during the Summer and it is now past repair. With the above in mind- our Rhino has been nothing less than a workhorse and a joy to own...

We sold our 08 because we made it a 4 seat and now you cant ride it in California. Other than that it was the best toy I have had. Loved taking it on the jeep trails in the sierras. I just hope Yamaha comes out with a 4 seat UTV like the teryx4. What do you think caused the damage?

I'm sure it was Issac Newton, I blame him for the damage to the cage on my RZR as well. :)

Don't give up on the Rhino frame you would be suprised how easily they are saved. While I agree they are not necessarily the nicest, fastest, or smoothest out there they are still a great bang for the buck.

Where exactly is this damage ocurring?? Our 700 sport edition has been pretty rock solid but its no RZR 900 thats for sure...

Did this come out after the original bill.

Good luck with that. You taking horses again? Thought maybe you were going to try to take that bison with a bow and arrow......;)

Planning to use the bow. No horses on the hunt trip-
I bought the hunt for a buddy and myself- which was cheaper than the fuel his jet will burn! :)

Gonna try and head up to MT after we leave Utah in June so we will have the toys on that one.

We did.
Just booked a MT Bison & Antelope hunt for this coming Fall and will probably be there in June for the high school rodeo.

Camo, I am still running mine, but only around the farm. I use it to plow snow, build fence and haul "stuff". It has over 4,000 miles on the original motor and still going strong. Now have a Rzr 800 for going to the mountains. You need to convince RRhino to come back to Montana and go for a ride sometime.

Get to MT at least twice a year! :)

Mine only has 8500 on it, and going strong.

Have you been to any of our campouts here in the Dez?

Yep, we did Spangler a few years back. Spent a lot of time towing my S-n-law back to camp broke down. CL 4005 all white, and, a camo rhino.
Retired now, so I get to go further away now.....:)You guys were a great group to camp with, alot of kid activities, and my grand kids loved it!

4 seater RZR = big dollars. Wish I could afford one. Settled for the Ranger Crew
