I made my first Cage and Seat System in April of 2005, and this is how the story started.  I bought a new 05 Camo Rhino and it was a big hit in the neighborhood.  I found myself giving all the neighbor kids (6 kids) rides in the back using packing blankets to give them some comfort.  One of the parents got after me for revving my motor and going too fast. She wanted her kids to ride, but wanted me to go super slow. At the same time the rest of the kids were in the back yelling "go faster".  I was a little irritated with this complaining parent so I brought my Rhino to my father's shop.
My father owns a business where I am the GM of operations, and we build and sell coil handling equipment for spring makers, roll formers, and stamping companies among other things.   I have access to much fabricating equipment and tools, so  I spent a couple of evenings designing a cage system with back seats.  I really liked how the system turned out, and it kept the neighbor off my back.  I had alot of compliments off the cage so I decided to put the first set on eBay.  WOW! The response was incredible!  I had so much interest that I decided to not only build one but five more.  I sold those five the first week from the interest off eBay.  I then built ten more and sold them within two weeks.
It became obvious to me that this could be something big.  We then enlisted the help of some fellow fabricators and welders here at our shop.  With their help we have produced and shipped over 500 sets as of August 2007.  These sets are also available for the Polaris Rangers and Arctic Cat Prowlers. I have also designed some accessories such as legminders, grab bars and cooler racks which are also grabbing some major attention.
   
   
   
DISCLAIMER: The Rear Seats and Cage system is not designed as a safety feature or designed to give you protection in a roll over.  They are referred to as Rear Seats and Roll Bars or back seats.  In the Yamaha Rhino the extra weight can change the complexity of the performance and must be used with care.  The Polaris Ranger and the Arctic Cat Prowler is a little more stable, but always use extreme caution.
