Rhino Update

[sigepmock]

Well we took a weekend off from Havasu and I finally got a chance to get a few more things done on the rhino. It's not 100% but it's getting closer and it's by no means close to Toby's crazy rhino but I can USE this one without worrying about it getting dirty :crossx:
Here's the modified bumper and new skidplate, first time I've used the dimple dies and I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.

Man I got to get the good rims and tires back on there, these stockers are killing me :yuk:

Also finished the stereo install. I have a set of Eclispe 5x7's and a JL 10" sub under the seat power by a JL 4 channel amp, big thanks to Dave at Al & Ed's in Ontario for the parts and a big thanks to Magic34 for the pimped out billet speaker grille.
Here's one 5x7 cut into the dash. I'm going to replace the plastic cup holder piece with an alum one for better looks and bigger cup holders :crossx:

Here's the other 5x7 in a figerglass speaker box I made. This was my first attempt at a fiberglass speaker pod so don't beat me up too bad.

I sprayed the box with a kind of Rhino Liner like rubber coating so it won't get scratched too easy, so far it's holding up pretty good.
Here's the sub and amp under the driver seat.

Finally added an aux batt, an Odyssey PC925 under the hood with a battery isolator off the main battery. The stereo and HID's are tied into the Aux battery so I can always start the rhino and make it home. I also added a charger for the Odyssey so I can plug it in at night and recharge it.

I didn't get a chance to put the zip ties at 1 inch on center and I don't have any billet battery boxes... but I think it will work for a wannabe JV baller like me :crossx:

Yeah it will be. You know we're having a blast with it in Havasu, exploring the trails up in the hills, cruising down to the dunes behind the refuge, if the Rhino only had AC now.....

[Cole Trickle]

Looks great!!
I like your speaker in the dash idea
