The silver bullet is ready

Finally, here is some pics of my Rhino with the silver plastics on it....What ya think???
I think it looks pretty sweet myself!

nice looking corey

Looks good, Corey...

When are you going to get some good pics of how you modified the latches on your JStrong doors? I like the doors -- but can't keep them latched...

Looks good man!!

Looking good Corey!!!

Kent, It took a lot of adjusting to get them where I was happy with them. When the frame flexes, they come open....I went around and made sure that all of the cage mounts are TIGHT, there are a lot of them. Some of my cage mounts were finger-tight, just make sure they are all tight. But I just got a piece of aluminum angle, and just tach welded it to the roll bar. I think it was 1/2" tall and 5" long piece of angle I welded on it. They still will come open, but you have to really have it in a bind to make them come open.

Looks real nice Corey.

Lookin good.

Thanks... I've done all that, and they'll come loose -- often at inopportune times...

I'm thinking of injecting some of that canned foam sealant in mine to see if stiffening the doors themselves will help...

We tried the canned foam sealant in Z-28's, cause his were doing the same thing. My home-made latches have helped 70%.

Looks good corey.

Looks good Corey. It would be over the top with a 1/4 red boarder-stripe between the back and silver on the hood.

Looks sharp

Looks good. You got the clutch fixed yet?

Yup, after waiting 3 months on the parts, they finally came, thanks to JBS. We are having a 60 mile ride this weekend at Windrock if anyone wants to come.

i will be at the backdoor to brimstone riding a tractor

Rob, we're gonna have to come up to the cabin sometime!

Kent, Can you lift-up on them and un-latch them???

Corey, looks good good job

Yes. Or, if you pull on the top, center and bow the door, they'll come loose. The latch only catches about 1/4" on the striker plate.

I'll try to find some old pics of how I had mine done. Mine would not come-un-latched, even high-centered.

Pate, I remember the cages were different on an 06 Rhino, compared to an 07+. What year was yours?

yep you can ride anywhere and everywhere from there

Mine was an 07, but the doors were for an 06. I made the catches out of some aluminium angle, drilled and tapped the cage for 2-1/4-20's each catch, and they penetrated the latch deep. You are right Corey, the rear cage-joints 06 back, are low.

What do the 07-up catches look like??? I think the doors are the same. ( I want my Rhino back to this day)
