Funny I do the same...I have been slowly buying all winter and as soon as my seats come in I'll be really itching to get things rolling. The weather is killing me! I need to build a garage!

where do you keep it in the winter?

nice!!

I have a shed thats 16x25 so it's almost as big as a garage but in the winter it has all my shit that I don't want to leave out all winter in it...like patio furniture riding lawn mower...ext. In the summer it's a really nice workshop but wintertime is a pain in the ass! I could work out there with a kerosene heater but cold metal tools and bolts ext makes it pretty easy to just stay in the house.


Oh....HIJACKED!!! Sorry Bumper

nice!!

awsome

im goin to repaint it before i put it all back together... should i go white or silver?

Nice looking rhino! I had a 72 bronco that was white and had the cage and bumpers powder coated orange, looked bad ass. Just a thought. No matter what the white looks awesome! What kind of paint did you use?

Your Rhino has came a long way, and looks good and should handle your riding style excellently. How do you like the PRP seats? Was looking at buying a set from a dude in Cali, and he said they were tight across the hips. He was around a buck 160 and I push a big boy 200, he though they would be pretty tight on me so I passed them up.

Lookin good, the white with the black looks great!

Picked up my motor today and got my msd from alba... time to start putting her back together

Got the motor and everything bolted back in added the anti friction washers, weighted the wet clutch, swapped 16g o/ds for 14, cleaned up everything and all the clutching is ready to go back on.I gotta wire up my guages and hook up my new msd nate mapped for me and im just cleaning and trying to pretty it up some in the process.. should get to start her up one evening this week. Gotta go pick up some yamalube and coolant and add a few more things and we will be ready to ride. Just hope I dont have any issues or leaks like ive seen with other builds but only time will tell ....


To he continued haha..........
