Mud-and-Guts 450 Rhino

Tks all,

I got a little more detailed write up and pictures of the overhead unit posted if anyone wants to check it out http://www.mudandgutsoffroad.org/quadboss-overhead-stereo

i am thinking about getting the J-Strong uppper doors for my rhino

That is a good setup MNG. I put my door enclosures on the Rhino today. I doubt I will run them the whole time but will be nice to have if the weather turns crappy.

Little Smith........you can check out my J-Strong upper door enclosures this weekend.

In don't know how the j-strong doors work but these Seizmik doors have metal bars inside the uppers that is covered by the same material as the lower doors which appears to be totally removable/replacable. The windows zip to open, then roll down, and gets wrapped in extra material to keep it out of the way so you don't have to remove the top if it gets hot. The doors open the same with the top attached as when they are not but when attached there is a grab handle on the inside of the door to pull it closed.

These doors also bow out slightly which is a necessity for the seats I am running, they are still real close to the doors.

i have been thinking about getting a set since last winter but it got warm and i just forgot about it

I like your setup MNG. I want to see it in person.

Tks Bro,

Only thing I am undecided about is the 450...lol it works but Its just not got the top end for the open road rides and adrenaline on the trails. I am thinking about turning it over to my wife then building me a trick 660. Pondering!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

why not 700?unless you would probably get a used 04-07 660 at a good price

So true,

I am not a big fan of fuel injection, don't get me wrong when it works it is great but when it don't you are stuck. If you get in the woods and a carb plugs up you can tear it apart and fix it on the spot(been there done that). Plus the fact if I can find an early 660 with something wrong with it I should be able to find a better deal.

yep thats a good point,i have seen some used 2005 660's go for about 6k at times even with accessories

I saw a 06 660 on www.crashedtoys.com sell for 2500.00............It was a theft-recovery and was missing a few parts.

The dawning of a new book. Looking forward to it.........

A few months ago I missed my next bike it was a nice 06 with only about 500 miles, ITP wheels, tires, stereo, and a few more goodies. The guy had it priced for 3000 for a quick sale, I found it and called but it was done sold. I wish I could find another one of those, before sold.......

Why not look into doing this? She could be a sleeper!

I have thought about changing cam and piston. And someday I may but I now have three kids, so I will need another ride when my twins (7 months now)get a little older so I can bring the kids and wife along. I am in no hurry, I have a few years to find the right deal....

I got out and cleaned my bike today and noticed when I drove it down the road afterwords I noticed my steering wheels was crocked to the right, Brought it home and done some investigating to find my left front spindle was bent. I guess I know what my next investment will be.....

I think this picture from LT shows where it happened....

After this weekends ride at Pickett I decided to remove my door uppers and try The QuadBoss Top that I have had laying in the shop for a few weeks now. I tried using this top once before and it would not work with the Seizmik door uppers. With the QuadBoss roof the Stereo compartment will set up flush with the brackets without the spacers I had made to use it with the Yamaha top. Here are a few pictures I took in the shop this afternoon.

Neil...........Dirt Performance aluminum top. It will work with your doors, and it will also close up that big gap in the rear that you had. Talk to Highlander, he will hook you up right!

Thanks bro, I will check it out.

I am thinking about the QuadBoss rear speaker setup I think it will fill in the gap.

yeah i was gonna suggest getting that

I found that there is another Mud & Guts out there! Yours would look good with these graphics too !

That looks cool.

Got out today and replaced the stereo I ruined on the Pickett ride, I also added a marine faceplate cover to help protect the new stereo.
