Wasn't a good idea!

I thought it was a good idea. Less weight/better performance, easy to clean up..........The wife hates it. Says she will not ride in it? I got to do something..........................

Wow Marty , now thats strippen her naked......

Ummm... Rhino

Shoot Yankee.....kinda reminds me of the old "Rat Rods"......only this would be a Rat Rod Rhino :(lmao:

Either I smell paint, or you're doing a "Skunkwerks" clean-up.........And hey, that ratty-looking wiring, needs some loom...............Huh Chris???

Yea, but it looks more like a rock crawler with no body work!!!!!!!!

are you painting? i can't wait to try out the paint...as soon as i get my new used set of plastics picked up....

what kind of splash protection do you have on there, covering up your firewall? that isn't a bad idea really

They have them in white, red, and yellow. They are regular $1000, and for anyone that may be interested I offered him $300.00 and he took it. Used my 10% ebay coupon and got it shipped to the house for $380.00.

That is a piece of rubber about 1/4" thick on the firewall. Keeps the mud and water out of your electronics.

yank i think ill have to use your firewall protector

Marty , is it like it is in the picture? is it white.
also i know thay use fiberglass for raceing. but how well you think
it will hold up in the woods...
one thing about it. you wont need fender flairs no more with 6 inches..... :D

Also Pate is right. take care of that wireing so it looks better..

COOL!! I thought you'd bought up some white, grey and black contact paper. :(lmao:

You better get er back together. I know your wife definitely won't ride in that.
What color did you go with, red again? I thought your Rhino was pretty new, why the new plastic? Sounds like you got a killer deal. I used that 10% coupon on ebay last week to snag a Warn 3.0 XT winch for 423 shipped. It was regualary 449, used 10% off........I thought I came out alright. Wifey says it arrived yesterday along with the mount..........one more thing to add to the list of chores when I get home.
Hope all you guys had a great Labor Day.......c u soon

Yes Chris it is white, and yes it is fiberglass which means if I hit a tree or flop it over it could be junk. I've been watching these and procrastinating on the purchase for some time, and when I found out he would take $300 for it I jumped. Just goin to try to be careful. I have not flopped it over yet, but have been close several times.

All the wiring your lookin at is factory except a single green wire that goes to my reverse light switch. I have my winch cable rolled and tied up behind my Radiator.

I also so you took the euro bumper off. and put the stock
one back on.
will new glass not fit with old bumper. or you just changeing up a bit.

The factory bumper was always there. That was just a metal bumper cover.

Rub , you sound more excited than Marty......
