I picked up the Rhino Ride (RR) around 2003 when I was wanting to build up a truck to do some traveling and camping with my son. Originally I was looking for Defender 110, but trying to find one in the Midwest was impossible and I had history with Toyota 4wd Trucks so it was an easy purchase. The RR was originally silver with a green inlay, 190k and bone stock when I got it from the second owner. He (RR) had an interesting pedigree. He started as a ranch truck in California, then went to UCLA for college, (found a cool UCLA parking token under the carpet and made it my keyring) then up to Washington state for work and then to St. Joseph, Missouri for work and I found him in Smithville, Mo.
Unfortunately, I didn't take many photos in the early days, but after I started working on him I took more pictures.
After some fresh paint and new shoes my son and I took the RR on a spring break road trip and had a blast! There is really the "worlds largest ball of twine" in Kansas! Heck, if you call the city hall the "twine lady" will even let you add some twine to the ball!
After that trip, the build-up bug bite hard and we starting really building the RR up.
