| Has anyone who owns a rhino purchased ramps to haul in a full size eight foot box truck? If so, any helpful hints? I'd like to not have to rely on my small trailer if I can help it.
Thanks,
Doogie | |

| After much thought and time, I finally sealed the deal on getting rid of the 500 sportsman and picked up a 07 sport Rhino. Sure is a whole different ride. Can't wait to get it out and see what it will do. Of course now looking at all the pics, I am sure that more money will pour into it to increase the fun factor.

When did you get it? And when are you gonna take it out for that maiden voyage to see if it can handle the waves of the ocean (per say)? | |

| Wow, thanks for all the support. I got it Monday, today is "install the winch day". I have been researching ramps for loading into the truck, and after seeing it come down on a 1500lb rated set of ramps, no way! One of my friends that owns a construction company gave me a set of 8ft aluminum scafold (sp?), that should do the trick.
It's funny though, some neighbors have commented on it like it was just another golf cart for the retirement home. I think its great that they don't get it. Although my German Shepherd hasn't really figured it out as she is used to the sportsman. "Am I suppose to ride in the back or shotgun? I told her that she would have to figure that out with the significant other.
Thanks for the enthusisam! Gotta get crackin' on the winch and see how it fits in the dually.
Anybody got any thoughts on location of remote plug in for winch? I was thinking in front of box behind the B pillar/ roll bar.
Also, anyone got any info on half winshield or full? Gonna have to get those doors, thinking about making my own aluminum ones, custom with door pockets, beverage holders, etc.
Next week looks like it might see the northern Minnesota woods/ trails.
