Here are a few more pics. I really wish we had a designated photographer. There were tons of kick ass pics that were missed on this ride.

Great pics Marty......

Nice Pics YANKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!! :D :D

Whose blue Rhino is this one?



Some interesting similarities -- though there's still differences...



Same bumper it appears, but different back window and lettering, but the first impression certainly caught my attention...

Close !! That's oledragon's ride.

That is my Dad's ride. Looks real similar from the back
By the time we have our club ride again in he will have new tires on it. I have talked him into either the Mud lite XTR or the GBC Grim Reaper 27".

Thanks, guys! Obviously I like his taste...

Why 27" -- IMO, the added clearance isn't worth the change in gearing.

For trail riding, I'd certainly recommend the XTRs over the Grim Reapers -- or perhaps try the GBC Bighorn knock-offs whatever they're called, Dirt Tamers I think, or maybe the GBC Dirt Commanders.

Then, there's the Duro knock-offs, if he's interested in staying at 25"

He wants the added ground clearance. Why do you say the gearing has to be changed?

yep tires are the easiest lift kit

great pics everyone!

great pics

Taller tires esentially change the gear ratio -- you loose low end torque but gain top end speed (even though the speedometer won't register it).

I noticed the difference moving up to 26" Bighorns (which measure about 26.5"). I don't think I'd want to go any taller, but I don't know if those you mention run "true to size" or not. Bighorns tend to measure a bit taller than their rated size.

Get a 2-inch lift and keep the 25's.

Win, Win

I finally got around to cleaning the muck off the Rhino, (I know, bad Dawber. ) and found a punctured sidewall on one of the wannabe Man Tars. Dad burn it. First weekend and get a cut. The wheels have quite a bit of rock rash, but that don't bother me. I guess I'll see about getting the tar plugged tomorrow morning. Gotta be ready for Pineville Saturday.

it would be better if you could get the cut boot patched from the inside, it would be good forever.

DD , dont sweat it. its just battle wounds.....

I will make sure that's done GunRunner! The guy I'm taking it to is a long time friend and has been fixin' tars for 30 years so I know he'll help me get it done right.

Chris, yep, as long as I can win the war, the battles ain't shit.
