Got The new Yamaha Rhino (pics)

Got the new Rhino today and I was able to borrow a trailer and go to a local area and try it out. This is me and My Dad...



I am really impressed with this machine!!!.....Wow! The place we went is just a open area with humps and dried mud areas and motorcycle tracks. Several Deep Ruts to try out the crossing a deep crack with the 4X4 and Diff lock. All Controls worked very good and was very comfortable in all conditions.....Even off-camber like 30 degrees!

The reason I got this was for my parents who go out to the desert with me and our dogs. So This will make them more comfortable when out on a ride



Heres the dash and controls. Stock for now but soon not to be... BOMBS AWAY!! ....Got a new sport steering wheel, center console, seat covers, and maybe later on, a marine grade radio with marine speakers.



First thing I did was to sand and to the Rhino Style coating (duplicolor) and cover all the bed and tailgate. Also got the Side rails. There will be a rear bench and roll cage extention..... This will be so all three of us could go on a trail to explore or such...



This is the Warn Multi-mount Winch. Her eit is installed in the stock Receiver on the rear. There is another one on the front with a wire to conect there and a remote on the dash.



Here is the optional Half Windshield. I was noticing on the way home that the windshild was bowing inward from the wind..... See in the pic, I put a bar in the center that is secured to the dash top. Now when we went to the riding area, the windshield was solid...still was able to flex a little but no bowing inward...



And Finally the Digital display for the Rhino. This is WAY Better than the 6 idiot lights which is stock....The Rhino Special edition has this on it already. It has 2 Trip meters, Clock, Hour meter and miles.



These are our 2 dogs who love to go to the desert...They will be in the bed area on our drives.
