Well i guess that's what's great about this country, weall have different life experience's as well as opinions and are free to share. And i'm not trying to debate wich brand is better, cause once again were talking opions. I just know in my personal experience i watch day in and day out 20+ Kawasaki mules get hammered on, and they don't hold up. I myself own a rhino, but for what were using the mules for my personal preference would be the ranger. That's just my 2 cents.

I just had to!!!!! 

I agree with you 100% on the kids not minding how it is. If it wasn't the fact that i had to haul 3 of them, I would have just gone with the Side x Side package. But unfourtunatly the 42" just wasn't big enough.
I built the seat base from scratch. There's a whole weekends worth of thought and work there. I've had a few comments on it and say i over built it, and hopefully their right.! lol

Ok so i'm happy as hell with the way everything turned out. I Just got back form taking the Rhino out on a test run. We didn't go far, just down and around this canal by my house. I took my step dad who is well over 6' and close to 250 lbs. (obviously he rode in the front with me) But My buddy rode in the back. He's 5' 10" 200 lbs. He had plenty of leg and head room ( at least an inch and a half from the roof, to the top of his head. As a matter of fact he commented and said it was more comfortable then riding up front. We played on some small hills in and out of the canal, and the Rhino handled wonderful. So i'm feeling safe to assume it should handle great with my family, which is the reason i built it.
Here are some pics i promised, sorry about the mud couldn't resist!

Not the greatest pics. I will post more after the weekend.

Hi all, just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Jay, i just bought a 08 Rhino 700 about a month ago. It's just the green base line model, and is bone stock at the moment. I've actually started a build project on it.
The only thing i've found about the Rhino i don't like so far is, by the time you get the extended roll cage and the 42" back seat installed, there is barely enough room for a child in the back. My girlfriend has 3 kids, and the reason we bought the rhino is for family fun. So i'm attempting a custom build, i hav'nt seen done before.
I've started with a custom bumper and roll cage i've built. It's been a slow go so far, but hopefully will turn out like a want in the end. I'll try to keep you all posted on the build.
