and the salt in the fresh wound - damage to front bumper from towing.....

Have not hurt the Rhino yet, but here's one from a rider-less down-hill at Windrock. I jumped.........it was an endo........

i have not hurt the rhino yet either, but here is one of my buddie last September riding @ Evart, KY. He went up a hill...starting spinning, tried to hit his 4wd switch but it was too late.....front end came up and it endoed about 5 times back down the hill....he just laid there...we thought he was hurt...but just a little blood and sore the next day....
his quad had $2600 damage.....pretty much all plastics, handle bars, racks, steering, rear rims, etc...[img][/img][img][/img]

How did it happen? general riding or did you bo bo?

long story - ride before this one I bumped a tree (slightly turning running about 8-10mph) with my front right - popped outer steering rod end off... hammered it back on and finished riding that day...replaced with new stock tie rod end when I got back...but must have hairline cracked the box too...

the Pigeon Toe day I was riding - pretty fast but by no means all out - crested a small whoop and BANG... steering box cracked - had to tow it 4 miles out... thats when I busted my front bumper too :evil:

dreth - moral of the story - DONT BUMP ANYTHING WITH THE FRONTS ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE RUNNING SPACERS OR OFFSET WHEELS... also, THE weakest link of the rhino is from the steering box out to the tie rods end....

good info. thanks

busted steering boxs are common on the rhinos, its caused by a bad design of not having the right amount of support to the unit. the 09s are said to be built different.
