Rhino on a stick

[thump]

Was out Sunday cleaning trails behind my place when I picked this up Pictures not so good from cell phone. Sure glad I was just rolling to a stop. Didnt really break anything, log came through where the plastic joins together under the dash.Had to cut it apart with a chainsaw to get it out.

wow you got lucky. The stick on mine from the weekend came right throught the floor board and left a hole the size of a baseball

that looks a little familiar...I was crossing a creek near Ruby Lake about 12 years ago in my lifted Blazer, going around a blind corner, and came to an abrupt hault. a log from a beaver dam poked through my grill, missing my winch mount/ grill guard and $120 D/C headlight, under my battery, over the inner fender. it ripped through my heater, and put a huge dent in the floor board/firewall on the passenger side. When I backed out, the whole log came with. had to cut it off with the axe, took a long time to get the rest out.At least my fire wall was steel, or the girlfriend would have had an exciting morning

Nice one! Had a similar thing happen this past summer to me and the wifey going through a tight trail. Unfortunately the stick passed through the opening on the pass side seat grab handle and went into the wifes leg about 4-6 inches. Lucky I was only crawling through the bush, she screamed! I stopped and had to back up while the stick slid out of her leg and jeans! Was nasty!! Good thing is, I'm still living, and she was o.k. too! Still has a brutal scar on her thigh, tho kinda hot, not recomended. Lesson for all of us UTV people, keep your eyes out for those nasty trail twigs!!

I had the same thing happen too! Branch came through the dash just below the glove box and accross the Rhino and got me in the ribs. Picked me right out of my seat. Good thing it wasn't sharp!

well this is good reminder for this winter, flooboard guards are needed on my rhino, a friend had one a bad one come through this summer, pinned his gas and break to the floor.
