We had a great weekend, Gary, Kathy & Trevor came in on Saturday morning for their Rhino mods. They are such nice people, they pulled they're toy hauler in the woods by our garage and camped. We had a great time with them Saturday night. We headed out at 9 am Sunday morning with Gary & family and Beavar, we later met our buddies Scotty & Ashleigh (Monster Teryx). Great AM ride, beautiful weather. Came back and met Finzup & his friend Jeff around 1, along with Sprinklerhead and my oldest boy Ryan. Once Finzup arrived, we started tearing up everything ..... man he's a bad influence It started with a busted Bighorn on Ryan's Teryx, the bead lock sliced it, so we stuck about 10 plugs in that hole and kept on. Rode about 5 miles and the Rhino locked up, had a couple lean spots and seized a piston ... I had been picking with T-Bone about getting a big bore and it looks like we're getting one after all. So Scotty towed Ryan back in the Rhino and we jumped in the Teryx and proceeded on. Then Finzup decided to do some unintentional extreme hill climbing ... thank God he was ok!!! ....the pics do it absolutely no justice!!!
We tore some stuff up, but nobody got hurt and that was the main thinig. Other than the dents and dings the company was great and we had a good time...can't wait to do it again (minus the accidents)

Any damage to the Rzr? Looked like it was eating that tree. You've got a good attitude on the Rhino -- let it break so you can go bigger...
Looks like an interesting area...
It wouldn't go into hi gear, hopefully just linkage or something simple. I knew I was taking a chance riding the Rhino with the lean spots...but I couldn't stand not to go
We left from our house, rode about 80 miles total. It's a beautiful riding area, you should ride up sometime

RZR's fine. Jeff and I had a great time (except for almost falling off the mountain). Thanks for inviting me. Sorry the Rhino broke. Maybe next time we'll let you be in front.('')

I just wanted to let it be known that the RZR going over the hill was somewhat a situation that was created by me and not finzup. Finzup was following behind me on the trail and i had tried to go over a log that i didn't think was as big as it was because of the darkness and tall weeds. I ended up getting saddlebagged on the log and finzup had hooked to the back of me to pull me off the log. Once i came off the log i guess he unknowingly had backed up just a little too far before going over the hill. I thought everything was fine until i looked back to see him going over and because i was still hooked to him, i really thought i was going over with him!!!If it hadn't been for that tree catching him, i believe we both would have went all the way down!It was almost straight down and at the very least it was 100 yards or maybe more to the bottom. I still feel pretty bad over the situation cause he was just trying to help me out. So glad he and everyone else walked away to ride another day.

Hey, man. please don't give it another thought. Thinking back, the grass was so high I never thought about slipping over the edge. It was my bad. Roll bar, crash bars and 5-point all worked well. Nothing's hurt except a bump on the head(gotta learn how to out of a harness when I'm upside down). WV Hot Rod Rhino was on a mission to go home and bring back the chain hoist and with everyone's help we got the RZR out with no real damage. The one thing I'll agree with is . . . . man, I'm glad that tree was there!
I never want to tear anything up but, damn if you guys don't ride in great places. I want some more.
P.S.
I've got prototype adapters made to use Jame's Suzuki shocks on the RZR rear. Should get them on tomorrow with my SuperATV springs.
P.P.S.
Thanks Brian for going back to find my tool kit. Figured it was at the bottom of the mountain.

Take some pics of those adaptors for the shocks. That was an idea i suggested to WVHOTRODRHINO as far as being able to use those shocks on the rhino. Hope they work and if they do iwant a set.
