My latest and greatest toy

2008 Rhino 700efi.
Heres the first day I picked it up, about 5 hours after backing it off the truck:


And how it sits now:


Lots more mods to come, just need the money end first though.

Awesome man, nice of you to join the club!!! I'm loving mine, it is just invincible (w/o the stock tires that is)! Get you a clutch sheave (its worth it!) and a cheap exhaust tip off ebay to get rid of that junk spark arrestor and small 1" outlet. Then air filtration (AFE makes a killer intake for the rhino). Happy riding, these things are so nice!

Sweet Rhino man. I just read the latest 4Wheeler magazine that had all the additions you can put on those things. Makes me really wish I had one!!

Go on and get you one! You will fall in love with it. I take my doors off occaisionally since they're so easy, and we have a fold out chair strapped in the bed for a 3rd rider. Works great!

Its actually kinda the 2nd one. The ranch has an 04 that I blew the engine in last fall. Only had it stuck twice, and its always been on stock tires. Its now gettting a hi-performance rebuild and 27s on it. We also have a ranger 700xp or whatever it is. Its great to work out of but the rhino is tons more fun.

Just a question, I saw one of those crooked lawyer ads on tv the other day and they were looking for people to help them get rich by suing the rhino mfg company. I suppose somebody got killed doing something stupid so now the lawyers are going to try making $$ off it. I dont care, I want one just wondering what the lawsuit was about.

Because they are 'prone' to rollovers, just like anything that weighs under a 1000 pounds and runs 45mph. The early models had no doors and few grips for protection so yamaha now offers them for free.

Yep, ppl would stick their legs out in the event of a rollover, thinking they could manhandle the UTV back over. Broke many legs I guess.
