| I have a half windshield from Ebay and a Yamaha roof. Any issues with towing and leaving that stuff on? Should I tow sideways or face it forward? I don't want any parts flying off on the highway. Help out a newbie  | |

| Sounds like I should be OK. Headed to Harlan County at the end of this month with some four wheeler friends and I am thinking about taking the Rhino instead of the Grizzly. | |

| Well it snowed like hell! We went to Brimstone instead of Harlan and had a great time. I have some pictures that I need to upload. Towed the Rhino facing forward with no issues. On the way back we barley got across Jellico and drove on around 4-5 inches of snow and sleet on I75. When we got back home the Rhino was frozen to the trailer. Took it to my folks heated barn for awhile to help thaw out. Awesome trip! Thanks for the suggestions fellas. | |

Have fun in Harlan, just don't accidentally run into a still in the backwoods, if you do just keep on going like you haven't seen anything! The Colonel, | |
