First day ride on the rhino...almost finished with mods

Went out on the rhino to see how it does on a trail here in the mountains here in Salt Lake City...

The previous day, I put on Fox shocks, new HMF Muffler, added some of the padding, the side leg minders, the nerf bars (pain to put on...bad fit)... The lower skid plates...

So here it is pristine... My trailer is too small...Im going to get a trailer that will be big enough to hal this and my Polaris predator...that being sideways so I will get a 77" X 14' Utility "Big Tex"

Some snow here and there....was some places where deep tracks were made and almost got stuck once.

A view of the backside of Mt Timpanogos.....about 11,000 feet... we are at about 8000 or so

Heres how my mom, because of weak knees, has to get into the rhino...She is 74 this year and a true adventuresome sport.. the bottom pic shows our 2 dogs Heidi and Ziggy (mom and Son)...they go on trips all the time as well...

A pretty view of the valley and staging area for this trail system... Not too many trails open because of the snow but I did do one trail where it was narrow, rocky and bumpy and the rhino dod it with relative ease.

Can't wait to try it out in places like this....

I have this for runnin the dunes alot faster....
