The first changes I made to my Rhino were to add a winch and skid plates. I almost immediately used both. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif Once broken in, I added the Black Rhino CDI unit that takes out the 40mph speed limiter and increases performance. After getting stuck again, I added 27" Bighorn radials and a switch to be able to turn off the speed limiter in reverse. When trying to get out of a mud hole, it really helps to be able to spin the tires in reverse faster than the 6 to 10 mph range that is factory set. Don't forget the "stick stoppers" that will protect your CV joints. I have dings in mine; I'd hate to think what would have happened without them. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
Then, you notice that you get covered in mud, so then you'll want to add the Yamaha factory mudflaps. Contrary to popular belief, they really do help! Ah yes, then you really want to know how fast you are really going; the LCD display in the dash instead of the little lights that come on the base unit.
Now, you will have a beast that will go places you never dreamed and up hills that you can't hardly climb on foot. So, you then will want to add the cool HunterWorks front console that holds two drink holders and has some storage space. Oh yes, the drinks; then get the plastic storage unit that goes under the driver's seat. It is good for at least a 12 pack - or Mello Yello that is. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Finally, since you used the largest storage compartment for drinks, get the glovebox lid. That is of much superior quality than the one for the RTV, and it actually gives you a pretty decent amount of storage.
Hmm, did I miss anything? /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif Attached is a pic of my Rhino after I had only added the skid plates and the winch. For comparison, it is parked next to my RTV. Have fun!!
Oh yes, the only "add on" that was a mistake for the Rhino was the billet aluminum exhaust tip. It provided no performance increase, made the Rhino much louder, and killed light throttle resonse. It was a waste and had to go bye-bye.
