2013 Rhino 700 SE Tactical Black

Well I guess since I am starting to put some parts on my Rhino I will start a thread to document it all. I traded in my 2012 Grizzly 700 EPS and my 2004 Honda TRX450R and picked up this new Rhino on 3/14/2013. I kept the wheels and tires off of my Grizzly since they were only two months old. When I bought it I ordered a few parts - Dynatek CDI, Warn Pro Vantage 3500lb winch, sun top, DG floor guards and Gibson exhaust. This morning I ordered a JBS sheave w/ 16gram sliders and a set of Ricochet cv guards. I picked my exhaust up today and will be putting it on tonight and the winch goes on tomorrow. I am kind of a pic whore so there will be plenty of pics.

Here is my Grizzly and 450r I traded in.




Here is my Rhino




Here are the DG floorguards I put on, they fit nice and tight up against the floor pans and are angled on the side for added protection by the cage.

Nice Rhino I like the tactical black. If I were to get a new one thats the one I'd get.

nice!!

Let the mods begin.

I wish mine came with Bighorns instead of the dumpy mud lites.

Ok, exhaust is on and its all loaded to go to the dealer tomorrow for the winch install. I snapped a pic of the inlet of the muffler, it's not straight through at all. There is no packing, its chambered but those slits you can see is the only way the exhaust gets through. I love the way it sounds, mild and idle but you can tell it's not stock when you stand on it.

Nice!!

I got my wife to take a quick video for me.

Nice! I like the black!

sounds good... nice rhino

Nice looking tire/wheel combo. Looks awsome on the black rhino.

good lookin Rhino....we love pictures around here so post all of um you got.

I guess I will post this here as well. This is a video of mine before the JBS sheave with the Gibson exhaust and Dynatek CDI. I managed 52mph the first run but didn't video it and could only get 51mph the second run. I am pretty happy with the take off already so I can't wait for my new sheave. I am wondering if I will see 60mph with it.

love that mat black same as my 85 yota , exhaust sounds good too:D

Nice ride there Kevin. Love a wife that will let a man spend the $$$ on the toys. You look pretty friggin happy there at the dealership.

Yeah... About that..... I may not have told my wife I was buying it, and she may have found out about when the Yamaha shop posted that pic on their Facebook page, and she may not have talked to me for two days

But she is good with it now. All it took was my daughter telling her how awesome it is and how much she loves driving it and that it is only 7 years until she has to take her driving test and this is going to help her pass it and my wife was happy. We are even scheduling a vacation this summer solely around camping and riding in the Rhino.

I put my Ricochet skids on today, didn't take long and they fit very well. I am little surprise that the fronts don't have any protection on the back side. I also took off the plastic on the front bumper before I destroyed it. I can't decide if I am going to cut a piece of aluminum and bolt in the stock locations there or just put in a cross bar above the winch and a stinger on the top bar.

looks good how do you like the Gibson I bought one also have not run it yet just wonder how loud it really is

I don't think it's overly loud at all but definitely louder than stock. I just picked up the optional turn down for it today so I will get a before and after video of it.

That's what my bumper looked like I just added some spports and expanded metal.

Well I put my turn down on my exhaust and I really couldn't tell any difference at idle or wide open but just running down the road it was noticeably quieter. Your bumper looks good, I am going to put a small stinger on the top and a piece of .250 aluminum plate across where the plastic piece went with some holes in it for airflow. Jet I like those doors, they are on my short list of things left to buy.
