GREAT shots, I noticed a bit of a problem with those sleds...it would seem that you 'light-weighted' the front ends a bit too much, they didn't seem to be touching the snow too often:D.
IT'S TIME!!!

The picture was taken on the main bridge part way up the trail to Renshaw, we went up there last MAY !!!!! It was un-freakin-believable, we had the entire place to ourselves. We parked the truck in the main lot, unloaded the Rhino, and hooked onto the sleds and started up the trail, it was pretty easy going for the first few kms, then it got a bit muddy, we pushed the Rhino up to around km 11 or 12. Unload the sleds and rode from there. We had a blast, and will certainly do it again this year. I have a few more pics from that trip, but I have not figured out how to post them yet. Any advice??

I've just added 11 pics in an album in the members albums area, I think I have it figured out. I look forward to posting more pics throughout the year. I'll try to clip one to my reply as well.

Awesome pictures, I'd like to see what you've got in the back of your truck to help keep the Rhino in there.

Had to build a floor frame to keep the weight off the tail gate and hold the home made heavy duty ramps securely in place while loading, it works awsome, I call it my "Rhino Rack" The picture is from the first day I used it, I've since painted it. In the second pic, you can see how it works great for bringing the Rhino on camping trips.

Very good. You may have a market for your "Rhino Rack"!

Looks like a good setup. Do you have an extension, must be hard to turn sharp with that....

I designed it in Autocad, and welded it up with a friend just north of Edmonton, If you if you are looking for something similar, its not to complicated and works great, I can send info to you. And yes,.... I did need to build an extension hitch to tow my trailer, I needed about 6 inches more room, now I can turn with out worry.
