Did you try DJ Safety (or something like that)?

When we thought the grand kid was gonna ride I looked them up for some side panels. Well that didn't work out so we're selling the fucker and going back to 2 seats lol

No way your selling that thing...lol ;)

If you weren't so crazy the grandkids would be allowed to ride with you:D

You gonna make Ron and Brit ride his 550 in the dirt?:skull:champagne:

i haven't had time to dick with it. i'll try to tear into it this weekend to figure out what the problem is.

i drove it around the cul-de-sac about a week ago when i was cleaning the garage. the turning radius has definitely been affected. it doesn't turn nearly as sharp as it did.:grumble:

I'm going to show up in the afternoon most likely (just because I don't get up early).. I have a hook up if your willing to wait that long.

Sweet, we're getting a couch delivered between 10AM and noon, so I can't even leave the house until then.
(And hopefully ellabo will give me lift :D)

I'll give ya a call on Saturday.
Thanks Dave :thumbsup

First trip out on new spindles, and they'll get bent.
That's just what they do.

Mine must be the super secret unbreakable ones cause I've literally tortured mine and they haven't bent yet. :D

They get them motor put back together?

What did you end up going with?

Talked to Brian today, it won't be there he is still waiting on pistons.. That being said we are going to meet Jeremy at Racetec right after the show and having him custom make some pistons. :).

Ended up going with STD bore kit/ raised compression pistons / cams etc..

There you go....

I would look into improving your cooling system. I think these things run hot.

I already did a fan switch and will be installing a impeller soon

I don't know how they'd get bent on that trailer queen you sold to him :skull :D

I never advertised it as a trailer queen:bowdown::cool:

It was a used well maintained 06 Rhino. Hank was amazed it didn't spit coolant and burn your leg like yours....lol:D:skull

The Rhino you sold him was clean...did it ever leave the pavement? ;)
(seriously)

The coolant thing was entirely operator error.
And I'm not at all convinced that Hank didn't pee his pants.
You know how he gets when he drinks :D

Wich one is yours?:skull:champagne::D

I think a done up RZR would be really cool. The custom cages all seem a tad bit tall to my eye but I imgaine its due to the rear seats head clearance with adults.

That's the radius style, SDR and others still do a flat roof cage, I like it better on mine, the 4's length just makes the transition to the rear of the thing always look a little goofy.

Planning to go tomorrow before 2pm, booster seat from Twisted Stitch, SSV side mirrors, look into clutch kits, epi's, are all on my list to do.

Still have to get my rear paddles comp cut for this season too.

isnt it pretty roomy?

i haven't seen one up close, but i heard that it didn't feel all compact while in it.

everything is roomy to me. :D:D

the guy in our group that has one is well over 6ft. he seems to fit in it nicely.

Smaller, but expected, going to start tradition of staying at Newport Dunes RV park for this, makes for quick commute, fun to run the toy hauler at the beach with hook ups/lol.

Was great till 4pm Fri. when I got a bomb call in Van Nuys, 1 hour code three run from the fairgrounds. :grumble: Some guy asked me if I was really the bomb squad as I put the magnet placards on in the parking lot, told him no, it's a new energy drink as I took off code 3:D

Civil war era cannon balls pop up all over,

most still have black powder in them, and, if right conditions exist, they can frag like a grenade. Was told someone on east coast was killed by one same day fri. trying to clean it up to sell, haven't googled it yet.

This one, after our processing, and some phone calls to experts on these period artillery, was found to be a rare one that was solid forged, most likely to penetrate something. Was labled twelve and found to be fired from a "twelve pound" gun per our source.
