I have a Special Edition Rhino 660. I do have a full cage and rear seat. I have not invested in a long travel suspension yet. I do have a strong background in off-road racing having raced desert buggies and trucks with SCORE, VORRA and other associations for years. I bought the Rhino on an impulse, but due to the length of the vehicle, the cramped cab and the lack of power I am not convinced a full long travel will get me to the point I would like to be with it. I do enjoy using it as more of a touring "jeep" up in the Sierras, but am not really convinced it can handle long rugged desert terrain. Note. I dont go to dunes. I also am not willing to put much into a motor as I want this to be very reliable and wouldnt want to spend much time other than oil changes with the Rhino. If you have experience with long travel I would love to hear your honest feedback. Im not bashing the vehicle in any way, just wondering if that much of investment really is worth it.

Thanks!
