| Today my wife and i loaded up the rhino to meet my buddy in his rzr s. we got out to the the trails around noon. we unloaded the rhino and off we went, I was excited to try out the slugged clutch so i hit every rocky steep hill i could find. I am am very impressed with the slugged clutch it seems the power is right there as soon as you give it some gas. 5 hours into the ride i start smellig gas so i figured I better get back to the truck and switch out air filters ( I usually keep a spare in my rhino but forgot to put it in) well not even 100 yards later she dies on me. I knew it was the filter cause I hadnt cleaned it after a couple rides. Im running 04 style by the way. the sad news is I had to be towed by a rzr down to the main road so my buddy could find me after he went back to my truck and got my extra clean filter. I told my wife to go with him so she didn't have to wait for him to get back while i tore my beast down. Well he let her drive his rzr back, the good news is she prefers the rhino over the rzr . So I got the new filter put in (next ride ill have some rubber gloves with the filter). now its running like a champ . So the Wife decides its her turn to drive, so we switch spots. I'm having her go up some crazy steep rocky hills and the rhino does awesome. so after awhile of driving she gets a little more daring and starts picking up speed thru the trails with some encouragement from me to go faster. Well she nails a rock goin about 35 rips the steering wheel out of her hands( thank god i made sure she knew not to have her thumbs in the holes) next thing i know we are up on 2 wheels ready to slam down on her side rolling the rhino so I brace myself ready for impact...she grabes the wheel and jerked it the opposite way and set it back down on all 4s. I was pretty impressed! got goin again and the right front wheel was losing air so we got out and found 2 holes in the side wall of the front passenger tire. got those plugged and the tire pumped up and decided it was time to load up and go home. Great day of riding!! O and I have been approved to get power steering now when funds allow! | |

| Those women driver... Sounds like the sluggo clutch performed nicely. You must not be getting the snow around SLC, like here in Central WY, someplace are up to 2 feet of snow. | |
