Well it looks like I'm gonna run my rhino for another season so I'm gonna make a couple of changes. I am looking to do a bed delete but still keep the area for 2 full size seats. I already have a Full Potential Offroad full cage with seats in the bed. Just wanna shed some pounds and get the seats a little lower. possibly something that mounts to the original frame? Anybody got any names of shops/fabricators or pics of their rhinos with the delete done.

Just a pic to show everyone what I have to work with...

We have one that will bolt into your stock location...save you 60 lbs...you will not have to mod your Rhino...here's some pics of the kit...









You can have the Rhino logo or we can cut the tailgate piece withOUT the Rhino Logo...we are working on a lighted tailgate set up so that's why the pictures show the logo...Everything is .065 laser cut 5052 aluminum CNC broke by a local guy here in So Cal...except for the floor which is a .125 piece...all stainless steel button heads and nylock nuts for a nice and easy assembly....plastic rear sides bolt right on...you will NOT have a functioning tailgate piece BUT...it's a bed delete kit right?...

OK Jim, you peaked my interest. This is almost exactly what I am looking for. Are the dimensions the exact same as the original bed? Send me some more info.....

BTW: I have that glass tank now so if you are still interested let me know.

We can convert your existing cage into a true bed delete cage no problem. It is a little more expensive than a "kit" but the end result is a much stronger cage structure to put your kids in.

The bed replacement kits that sandjunkie and others sell is great for a two seater or a cage with a built in bench mount but the FPO cage mounts the bench to the sides of the stock bed.

Nothing against his bed kit but I wouldnt mount the seat to it!

What we do is take your cage, add in the proper structure to mount the seats solid to the cage/ frame and then panel it in giving you the lowest rear seat height. We can also move the bed sides up and back so the tires wont hit anymore and at the same time give you more foot room (without moving the seat back) and a wider inside bed.

Just my .02....

I agree 100% with Tim on this...I would NOT bolt a rear seat to any kit (mine included) nor would I recommend it to anyone (stock or otherwise)...seat hoop or directly to the frame is the only way to go...in my humble opinion...

Thanks for pointing that out Tim...

I know its been said a few times already, but you owe it to yourself and your passengers to check out SDR Motorsports bed delete 4 seat cage. They are top notch for sure. I love mine, and would have a hard time giving it up for anything else!!

Dont mess around with a kit , SDR is the only place to get the ORIGINAL "Bed Delete" cage. Safety is not something to skimp on. My 2 cents...
