here is a cheap way to gps your rhino. i copied this from a hotrod forum im a member of but it should work on rhinos as well.

Go to your cell phone provider, and ask about the cheapest plan they have. You really have to ask for it, because they wont advertise it, and the goomba behind the counter probably wont even know about it.

Mine is Nextel, and I have the $10 a month plan that gives me 30 minutes of airtime, along with unlimited walkie-talkie and GPS.

At any rate, get a used phone to activate on the account, or the cheapest handset they offer.

Swing by the local Autozone and get an acessory "cigarette lighter" 12V power outlet for $5, and wire it into the fuse box.

Plug the phones car-charger into the 12V outlet, and plug the phone into the charger.

Now, tuck/hide the whole works up under the dash... Just leave it there.

You now have GPS tracking on your car for about 1/4 the price of a lowjack unit, and about 1/2 the monthly charge of a lowjack... What's more, if you want to track where your car is, you dont have to get the approval of anyone [lowjack] to see it.

Couple other benefits...
You always have an emergency phone in your car, and it's always fully charged.
Depending on the phone model, you can set it up to auto-answer and automatically be on speaker phone... So if you have any need to "spy on" your signifigant other, or your 17 year old daughter, you can do so.

Thats a cool idea, wouldn't it kill the rhinos battery fast though???

I can post pictures and info in Nogales Mexico.

I need the following:
Photos
Vin#'s
Names & Phone #'s email address of victims

If you plan on a reward I highly recommend that you mention it.

I will make color print outs and deliver to local Mexican border crossings.

Yes Mexicans, they are very good at checking Current Registrations along with US DL's of any UTV, Quad, Sand rail or anything that is rolling on a trailer or it's own.

They do this every time I come across and the dudes already know me, my car and my Rhino!

I will deliver them to the -

- local highway patrol : aka "The Federalis"
and the various check points on Mexico side.

- Deconcinni

- Mariposa

- 21km check point- Yes I will drive down there, at no cost to you.

- Truck corridor check point.

- Local Polecia

I will do this in very high hopes of catching any rats that are perpetrating this and believe that they are too smart to not get caught.

send to: desaracho@yahoo.com

I get them instantly in my bb and can go to any printer and do the sheets asap.

The thieves have been caught and are hopefully going to be punished. It was two 19 year olds and one 16 yr old. The two adults are being charged with 4 felonies each. They totally stripped it and totalled it. It was heartbreaking. Thanks

Thanks for the update. All too often we don't get to hear the outcome of a theft. Keep us posted if you will.
