Don't drive one. You will want to sell your daily driver in order to get it. :D

Seriously - they are awesome. I just sold my rhino a couple of weeks ago. Ivan Dan did you re powder your a-arms yourself? I am thinking of getting rid of the red.

What's left?? Seats and a wrap?

Windshield, seats, rear spare mount, roof rack, storage box in bed, door bags, and HCR high clearance radius rods.

I have to say that having Parker Pumpers and race radios/intercoms was really nice and refreshing not getting 10 lbs of dirt in my nose and mouth every ride. One of the best options I've done on any of my SxS's and id highly recommend both.

looks like you got your hands on a Baja design 30" radius light bar... How is it? It looks like it is slightly tucked into roof, yes, no? What are the others on front bumper? How bout those whips, safeglow? I also like the Method wheels you got, I have a set of them that should be arriving soon, they have been on back order for a month :( did you go with 14's or 15's?

stronger looking a arms, are they wider than the stock ones you took off? How about the rear trailing arms, not stock, but stronger looking too. BTW, I like the blue! :thumbup:

Stock width but boxed and a ton beefier than stock. http://ink361.com/app/users/ig-1095108015/offgridengineering/photos The rear is getting the HCR radius rods which are super beefy too.

The 30" BD is awesome and has an excellent pattern. Yes its tucked nicely into the fiberglass roof. The front bumper has BD Squadron Pro's which are great as well. The whips are a new company that Scott is dealing with but I can't remember the name of them. They are awesome though. They attach via air chucks and are programmable and multi colored with remote. I went with 14" wheels and 30" Mongrels.

It was a deal I couldn't pass up. I do in fact have some Grey Poupon but I'm the driver! Haha

Hey....I need you to come out to the house for some work. Text me when you have a minute.

Not yet....I will probably do the revalving soon though. I have to say it does work pretty well stock though.

I think my next move is going to be suspension. I've been researching a couple of companies Shock Therapy and Ed Niemela, I think I decided on one Ed Niemela.

There is a big thread on GD.com about Shock Therapy. He burned some people in the past and never made it right. Good reviews on his current shock customers but his shady past would detour me.

Ed is my River neighbor and has done a few neighbors shocks and many more on GD.com. I would recommend Him after hearing the results first hand from some of his customers.

I will probably use Ed as well. His communication skills aren't the best but I've heard good things about his work.

Just waiting on the powder coater for the windshield frame and the rear bumper (had to be redone). Should be picking it up in the next couple days.

The PC came in a few days ago which was the very last thing but Scott wasn't happy with the way the rear bumper PC ended up. So he is having it redone so its perfect.

Thanks! I really wanted the desert car/prerunner look. On the roof rack I have rotopax mounts for extra fuel etc. I'm really hoping to do some longer adventure type trips.

Really happy with the way this cooler fits. It's like it was built for the box in the RZR.
