with 12" of ground clearance, shorter wheel base, and all 4 wheels locked
together id put it way ahead of either. i doubt it would follow my recently
locked arctic cat 500 4x4 _every_ where it could go, but i can already tell
it will keep going when my rubi stops. we mudded today, we'll rock this
weekend.

it really is an interesting machine. i enjoy riding my arctic cat but i
couldnt really do much with my daughter haley (only 2, not quite old enough
to hang on good yet). with the rhino i can buckle her car seat into the
seat belt and she can ride all but the really steep with me in safety. she
loves to off road every bit as much as i do and this will enable me to take
her places that i wouldnt on my atv, and couldnt in my jeep.

LOL! Ya I guess, it is a wicked looking thing, that's for sure. Man
there are some trails around here that would be perfect for something
like that properly rigged. Really too narrow for a Jeep.
