| I posted this also on the ridge runners site but was also looking for any other feedback to a problem that could happen. I flipped my rhino on it's side last year but luckily had 8 other guys help me flip it back over. I was thinking how would a guy flip a side by side back on all 4's if he were by himself? Could it be done with a winch mounted on the front? This is possible to ride because this past weekend while going through what appeared to be a small mud hole the rhino just about flipped. Luckily we had another rider that was ablt to stand on one side to assist. Any suggestions? What has anyone else to remedy this other than riding with a partner? These rides are so heavy it seems unlikely most 4 wheelers could flip them back, especially if situated on a tight trail or an incline. | |

| Hook a snatch block to a tree , and run the winch cable through the snatch block and back and hook to the top or the rollbar. then stand back and take the wireless remote from warn XT30. and watch it turn its self back up right. Then sit down and think about all the shit that just happened. so you wont do that again..... | |

| Would be best to have 2 snatch blocks and 2 tree saver straps to hook them to. May not be able to get the right angle with only one. | |

So that was the straw that broke the Mass's back I was just thinking the same thing Marty..... :D He turned his Rhino back over and now he is haveing back surgry. So maybe turning your Rhino back over by hand is not good advise..... | |

| I have up-righted my rhino in an extreme thunderstorm at windrock while riding up a hill, the last part of trail #2, I cut the wheels into the hill to the max and gave maximum throttle and the rhino popped up on it's all fours. This is something that people still talk about that were there to witness! | |

| I flipped mine backwards at the beginning of summer at SlickRock in Tellico. I've got a four seater cage and it kept it from flipping on its top. After I got out I thought i would pull the front end down but it didn't work. I had to winch mine back down. Lucky I had a winch because Slickrock has been shutdown for over a year. | |
