Steering Wheel - Stick Stoppers - 2" Tip

I had to retrieve a box from the garage for Dirt Chic, so, I figured I'd snap a couple pics.

The new Grant 332 Steering Wheel. Me likey much.



The new tip, and some factory front stick stoppers (I picked up for $5) converted to work on the rears. I like cheap mods.

Looks Sweet DD.........

Now , tuck thoughs wires back under the bed that are hanging down.
and pull that tow safty sticker off the rear frame rail .
I am so picky......

Chris.... :D

Sir, yes sir!! There shall be a tucking/peeling session starting at around 17 hundred hours, 08-29-2008!

DD, you have the lingo down......you need a new job? We need good strong men

That pic cracks me up!! UGH!! The name patch is the best part. So, is this soldier a "GRUNT" ??!! :(lmao:

Just watch where you put your thumbs on the wheel, if you hit something and it kicks back hard those metal spokes could just break your thumbs

from another thread - as a reminder....

thats a good wheel... the larger diam will help tremendously....

just remember one thing though - THUMBS UP!! especially once you upgrade the steering rack, tie rods and spindles

Yep, learned about the 'thumb thing' back in my '70's Jeepin' days.

Trail Armor makes a steering stabilizer for the Rhino. It is really supposed to help with the backlash from the tires to the steering wheel. I got one waiting at the house to install on mine......

ya , i had a friend in a jeep break a thumb about 20
years ago. remember the wheel that looked like that.
that was chome and had holes in it. well his thumb was in the hole
and he hit a stump in a old Cj5 and like to lost it.....

Chris....... Thumbs up......

Thumbs out main.....I was suprised to learn how quick you learn to drive with the thumbs out......when you about get one ripped the hell off. That fat digit is the most important one on your hands. I hyper extended my right hand one during my two wheeler days....and you dont realize how important the thumb is until you cant use it.

Nice DD.........yep I about got my hands a few times with the old golf cart steering wheel that came on it. Yamaha made a huge improvement with the new wheel on the 08.

Marty , dont forget about your special Rhino driveing gloves
you have too. i know thay haft to help too......

One of Clayboys friends has that stabilizer and he says he swears by it. I too have thought about power steering and a new wheel, but I think I will add a rear cage and seat first and then see how it feels. Chris, do you know anyone that could build a cage? I have seen one I like, but I would have to remove my rear bumper and I don't want to do that. I would like to have one that bolts onto the stock cage only because of not wanting to switch over the speaker bar and all that other crap.

LT , I could build you one. the only problem is. with material costs now
and shipping to you. it would be completely out ragious.....

I know i seen one somewhere that bolts to the bed floor in the back
that was resonable. i think its tellco 4x4 just keep looking. there are
one out there you can keep the bumper. i seen them....

but keep in mind. no cage if built right is cheep....

Well, the shipping would not be a problem cause I know we will most likely be seeing one another next year. My thing is I want it built the way I want it built, but I don't have the tools to do it, nor the skills. I don't want anything extravagant, just simple and functional. We can talk more about that later. That purchase would not come to well after I am home and settled into a house. We can discuss it in the spring. I may just take you up on it!

Have you ever thought of one of those kits that
will turn your 2 seater into a 4 seater. it boalts together.
i seen them thay dont look bad at all. and way cheeper
than fabing a whole new cage. Just a thought. atleast
that way. you can go back to a 2 seater later if you wanted too..... :)

something to keep in mind. a 4 seater is alot of steel.
and its heavy as hell. and it really slows the rhino down.
I have heard them say it over at RF.net.
its like adding another 140 pounds with rear seat without anyone in it.
just so you know.
