OT wifey amazes me AGAIN

Hey Nate, You better be good to her at Christmas!! I still don't know what use I would have for one of those other than extreme-golfing but it meets all the criteria of cool:

1. engine.
2. knobby tires.
3. your neighbour doesn't have one.

- Brian (checking classifieds to get the wife a job so she can buy me toys)

i think id better be good to her every day for the next 50 or so years.

lol.....youd be surprised. im sure its not as capable as a typical 4x4 atv just because of the weight, but i have no doubt it will keep going when the rubicon stops.

lol....considering my current neighbors, they'll probably just try to take mine.

She wants to ride it, intead of walking, it wasn't for HIM :^)

At least! ;-)

Oh man, I saw the write up in 4wheelparts mag, I want one. My oldest is just big enough to drive the John Deere, he's probably be able to drive this as well...

lol.....there are few things that are totally dependable in this world. you happen to be one of them! :-)

fwiw it handles amazing. to much power though, depending on how old your oldest is. im not sure what the top speed is yet (owners manual specifically rules out WOT until after 20 hours) but im guessing at least

Ok....

Just what the heck is it???

I dunno about all of those kinds of ATVs but at least not all of them are that great. Check this out... I'd just driven up this little stream in my old baja when this Jeep appeared out of nowhere:

Well when it comes to mud I prefer something more than a quad myself :)

The 400EX being pushed is what I want for putting around the desert with friend but the better half doesn't need that much of a quad and though she would be OK with a 250EX (or similar) I figure the Rincon would be cool with its automatic and decent performance...

I like that Rhino but even if the better half OK'd the sale I would probably go with the quads... then again there is always X-Mas next year!

a big toy for going where my jeep wont take me. like trail #11 at tellico, i really dont think my stock rubi would go up it but i have no doubt this machine would walk it.

with 12" of ground clearance, shorter wheel base, and all 4 wheels locked together id put it way ahead of either. i doubt it would follow my recently locked arctic cat 500 4x4 _every_ where it could go, but i can already tell it will keep going when my rubi stops. we mudded today, we'll rock this weekend.

same here, for the kids anyway.

it really is an interesting machine. i enjoy riding my arctic cat but i couldnt really do much with my daughter haley (only 2, not quite old enough to hang on good yet). with the rhino i can buckle her car seat into the seat belt and she can ride all but the really steep with me in safety. she loves to off road every bit as much as i do and this will enable me to take her places that i wouldnt on my atv, and couldnt in my jeep.

the atv in the front is a honda 400ex. its a 2wd sport quad. the atv in the rear is a kawasaki 2wd. key words being TWO wheel drive. :-)

Article mentioned 36mph, probably speed-governed.

LOL! Ya I guess, it is a wicked looking thing, that's for sure. Man there are some trails around here that would be perfect for something like that properly rigged. Really too narrow for a Jeep.
