jpred1, Yep, I am on there most days. My threads are under markc. Thats where I got most of the info I needed to decide on which RUV to buy...
oso-45-70 What kinda terraine are you driving? The Rhino is not very quiet. It is based on an ATV motor so it is louder than say a Kawasaki Mule. If you need a 4X4 but will not be going through the most extreme mud and climbs, then I would recommend a Trans Mule 4X4 by Kawasaki. It switches from a 2 seater to a 4 seater in a couple minutes and is quite terraine capable. It isn't cheap though, but if you look at
www.uvcountry.com you can see the different ways to outfit them. While there look at the Mule 3010 4X4, same as the Trans, but almost 12" shorter and a couple grand cheaper 2 seater.
They are much quieter than the Rhinos and Rangers (made by Polaris). While on that subject, although not cheap either, the Polaris Ranger 6X6 is quite an impressive vehicle also. It has a wide enough bench seat for 3 people, although not with much elbow room to spare, but goes about anywhere. Just don't stick it in the mud. They are hard to stick, but really hard to unstick too. Bush Hog makes two models called the Trail hand and Trail Hunter, both using Honda industrial engines. They are 4wheel drive independant suspension and share other features with the major makes and models out there.
