Project "Resurrected Rhino"

awesome job man, great craftsman ship, hate to say it but didn't know what boat sideing was , now I know and it is freakin killer, cant wait to see some more

Jason are you installing a tilt wheel in that hotrod? Or are you messaging the colunm to bring it down.

I'll cut the column loose and move it out and down to line up with me.I'll prob put a steering wheel disconnect in and use my very corny but faithfull wheel I've had since I was 16 in my first vehicle.Everyone will laugh but it's been in a lot of my toys and would love to give it a purpose in the Rhino.We'll see though because it's kinda small for a vehicle with no power steering.

I can't wait to see some more pics.

Pay no attention to the passenger side.I don't have the right size bungs.It pulls right into shape on the floor I just can't do it on the Rhino yet.But you do start to see what it's going to look like.I wish it would have set on there perfect but with 10 bends in 20' I'm happy with it.Just waiting on UPS to get here before I much further.The next pic is of what I have drawn so far.The bed delete is not in it yet but will make the back look complete.

that's gonna be sick!!!

Man, you ain't seen nothin yet! I would love to do this with a rhino.
I hope Yamaha is bringing out something like this.
They have the foundation for a very well-built ride, as Jason's awesome skills are showing us.

You gonna sell this when you're done, Jason?

The only other manufacturers I would do this too is the Kaw or Can AM but yes your right it's hard to beat the reliability of a Yamaha.I love the mid engine designs. As far as being for sale.Everything is for sale buddy but you probably won't like my price at the moment on this one.It looks like a cut up piece of junk right now but I know where I'm heading with it.I need to keep it around for advertising at the moment.It's hard to sell work when they can't see what you can do. I've been fortunate enough to be able to do what I love full time but I need to expand a little faster than I am.That's why I'm throwing everything that I can at this Rhino but not making it stupid expensive for someone to have it done.I could have went way further into this chassis but not everyone can afford to have a LAMBO built.lol With everything fellas, the sky is the limit, it's how far can we afford to go type of thing.Thanks for all the props.I love listening to feed back.Good or Bad.

P.S. if Yamaha would use the Apex engine platform I'd settle for the rear engine design.If you've road a turbo'd Apex Snowmobile you'd understand where I'm coming from.That would put them on a whole new lvl from what's out there.

150+hp wouldn't be too hard to take, eh?

do you know how much your rhino is gonna weigh when you're done?

No clue I've taken weight away and added it in to many spots.Not even going to put bogus numbers up.
As long as Yamaha has been out of the game they would have to start from scratch on a driveline and platform.So starting from scratch they could make it hold up to any HP as long as they knew what they were designing around.But there is plenty of people that couldn't handle 150hp+. Lol The Apex could be a reliable engine at 300+.I've seen that engine lay 600+ down but they fallow the sleds down the track with a bucket to pick up the parts every other run.It's awesome though.They pull faster 60' time than a top fuel rail. that's no BS.Those boys spend huge money.check this out.If they would give me diffs and a tranny to hold up I would use that engine .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLaRhJebH8Q&sns=em

Baxter Im planning on coming over tomorrow for sure to check yours out and get ideas on diff braces and frame supports.......be Christmas gift ...lol...you have mad skills g

Still waiting on bungs to get here before I can throw to much tube in it but I didn't have a bunch of time to work on it tonight anyways.Here is a pic of the back I got squared up and tacked into place.

That thang is going to look awsome. I am like a little kid at Xmas every time you post pics.

For sure a thread I have been following, love the little things like the RR that pop out at you.
Wish I lived closer or you lived closer so I could get some custom stuff done to the Short Bus.
That thing is going to be one of the Sickest Rhino's out there.
Keep up the good work and can't wait to see more.

that thing is badass

super sick skills , will be more busy than a long tail cat at a rocking chair convention when this is done an u taking work for this mod ...... this will be the sickest rhino I 've seen      can't wait to see more

Don't worry, it stops hurting when the pain goes away
