Picture this....Beautiful Arizona weather, breathtaking scenery and two bad to the bone Lone Star Rhinos at our fingertips.

"Golf Cart For Sale: heavily modified, many extras, best offer, must sell." That seems to be a popular ad in many newspapers on the left coast these days. Ever since Yamaha introduced the coolest drivable ATV in the industry, more and more people are catching on to the fact that owning a Rhino equates to a whole lot of fun. Whether your desire is to cruise the dunes or go all out and race, modifying the already stout Rhino with hop up parts available from a reputable aftermarket company like Lone Star Racing is a sure way to elevate the fun-factor right off the chart.

We were able to drive two or LSR's best kept secrets when the company's System and Design Manager, Greg Frantz hauled Lone Star's newest state-of-the-art driving equipment to Four Peak Rolls off-road trail system within the Sycamore Creek OHV Area located about an hour north of Phoenix.

LSR widened the stance while Elka supplied pro-level shocks. The combo offered a ride unlike any Rhino we've ever experienced.		We rode out in style with pimp graphics from Trinity Customs and snug custom seats from Jet Trim.

Not to worry, Lone Star's wider stance, Gorilla axles and 15" of Elka suspension made speeding down any trail a breeze.

After pulling in and cruising around we came to the conclusion that the Sycamore creek and neighboring Four Peak Rolls off-road trail system have to be one of the best places to ride in Arizona. This radical riding area would be the perfect place to test out the suspension and handling of Lone Star's new hard core Rhinos. This place has it all; sandwash areas, mountains, creeks, rivers, cliffs, canyons and more -- all available in a heaven-like scenic 75 mile loop.

Thanks to Greg's endless hours of testing, tweaking and honing Lone Star Rhino aftermarket components, combined with quality products from Elka, Gorrilla, Jet Trim and others, handle like no Rhino we've ever driven. The ride reminds us of what it must be like to drive a trophy truck in the Baja 1000.

After spending a day with two of Lone Star's finest Rhinos, if we had one, we would sell our golf cart too.
