THE Redneck Rhino

RedNeck Rhino

This cart was givin to me by a friends dad who got PO'd cuz it wouldn't start one day and said "if somebody wants the SOB tell em to come get it". At the time I noticed it sitting behind my buddies shop my dad was lookin for a cart for hunting purposes (we don't do golf). I called dad and told him about it, but he had already bought one (another G1) and had it in the shop. He said go on and get it if you can. So I did. I took it straight to the gas station filled it full of gas and oil took it home and charged the battery and was riding it that evening.

This thing was as plain as it gets. The front bumper was all smashed in from an incedent with an oak tree, with various other battle scars but I saw potential.

Now for a cart that I had absolutely $0 in I've managed to sink close to if not over $1000 in.

Nice looking G1. You'll get good use out of the bed on the back. The camo looks good.

I like the camo on the brushguard, looks great. I have seen some rims with camo, might look good to camo your rims. either way it looks great.

Thanks guys. Fratt thats not camo on the bumper, the paint's gone from gettin too much mud and cow $hit slung on it.

I gotta touch that up.

I really like the bed too, Sprid. And being on a G1 I get a built in Dump bed.

LMHO!!!!! x 100, I thought it was camo'd too.

And on the dump bed. Your cart looks a lot like my G9: mine is plain Army green and black with all kinds of battle scars and has a bed just like yours which is very very handy. You can't beat an old Yamaha: they are tough carts.

My G9 before the frame got totalled and I had to rebuild it. Looks pretty much the same again except it now has a bed on the back and a few more scars for personality.

Thats a cool lookin cart Sprid. I would've went with the o.d. green paint too, but I had already bought the tape kit for my 4 wheeler and just never got around to using it. So when I got the cart the tape HAD to go on it. It was just meant to be.

How did you total the frame?

I was thinking about going with camo but I'd rip it off in a month. I use mine for everything around our 21 acres. It pulls like crazy. I got a small 44 inch Swisher bush hog I pull with that cart. It goes places too dangerous for my tractor: hard to turn over my G9. I had tried using my Rhino but the Rhino doesn't have near the turning radious of my cart. Plus, that cart will get in and out of places a quad will go. That G9 is probably the most used piece of equipment and 'fun for kids (big kids too)' that we own: cheap to maintain and very tough. When it got totalled, it wasn't even a thought, it had to be repaired or replaced with another one just like it. I bought another one and pulled the frame. At least I got a lot of extra parts now.

A friend that my wife and I work with came over one weekend so I could work on her car. She brought her kids over so they got out the quads, golf carts (I had a couple at the time), and rode around half the day. Later that day all the grownups were around back sitting around and talking when we heard something that sounded like thunder. I was scared of what I thought had just happened. All I remember is jumping up, rounding the corner of the house, and taking one giant leap an 1/8th mile down the driveway. Our friends son (11yrs old) had been driving, apparently wide open, down the driveway with my son (8yrs old), and hit a tree head on. They were all racing and evidentally the dust impaired his vision. It threw my son over the front of the cart and he landed about 10 feet away. The Lord has his hand on him to keep him from flying into the tree. He was mostly scraped and bruised up: but scared me to death until I checked him out. Our friends son got the worst of it. He hit the steering wheel, bent it beyond recognition, busted his nose and head up really bad, and messed up his knee. He was so bloody, it took a few to make sure he didn't break anything. Luckily no one was seriously injured and no one had to go to the hospital. I thanked the Lord several times that afternoon for sparing two young lives. Needless to say, no more ride on anything when friends are over unless a grownup is driving. That was the end of that. The hit was so hard it ended up bending the frame in the front enough that it actually buckled out the frame on the passenger's side of the cart.
