As mentioned in other articles Yamaha left out a few necessary features when designing the Rhino. One of which was the lack of cup holder. Although that may not deem necessary to everyone I felt it was a legitimate feature that could have been added very easily and at minimal cost. Next more important and necessary featuring lacking on the rhino is the lack of a fuel gauge.
Although the Rhino has nearly an 8 gallons tank it may leave you stranded one day unless your very adamant about keeping an eye on your fuel level. That brings me to another point which all Rhino owner are aware of and that's the difficulty of being able to read the fuel level under the passengers seat. In most cases im unable to even make out where the fuel level is on the tank. I find myself pulling the gas cap off and taking a peek inside to get an idea. Needless to say what a pain in the ass. (Fuel Gauge is now offered on the the 07' models)
Kit Contents: Fuel Sending Unit, Sending Unit Gasket, Teleflex red backlight fuel gauge, complete wiring harness and instructions.
Trail Armor recently introduced this fuel gauge kit for Rhino's that installs in a few hours or less. The result, is an adjustable, accurate fuel gauge mounted anywhere on your dash that you can see easily. There fuel sending unit features a anti-slosh shield around it to keep the gauge from moving while your Rhino's bouncing around on rough terrain. Installing the gauge kit took a short time and was pretty much straight forward and easy. Some installation pictures below as the kit was installed.
