I mounted it the way i did because i have a flip up window on the front that i still wanted to open. I think it could be mounted on the second bolt up and it would leave more room for the hood to open but wouldnt work in my case.

The lights work well there but the only problem I see is that they get in the way to open the hood. I used large wing nuts on the lights so I dont need any tools to move the lights. I just loosen the light up a bit and turn it to the side. it may not bother if the lights are round.

That would be alot better than running chains.

I use the tank in my 1 Ton dump truck for fire fighting. the tank and water pump belong to the town.
I had to strip out all the military crap in the tank. I dont throw anything away, it all gets used sometime.  lol

I used my Rhino every storm last year and only had one small problem. My plow hooks into the 2 inch receiver hitch in the front. With so much force on one spot I bent my hitch a little. The problem was solved with a nylon tiedown strap. I turn my shock springs up 2 notches when I put on my plow.
I dont see any problems with any thing in the frontend breaking as long as Im not running chains, I have had trouble in the past and know other people who also have had trouble with chains..
I did have to add some plow lights thoe. When I lift my plow it blocks my stock headlights. Something you may want to look into befor you find out you need them the hard way.

#1 Yes, sand bags will help.
#2 Chains on the front will make the wheels bind in a tight turn. The inside tire needs to slip to make up the differance in speed. Chains will make so much grip that eventually the locker or gears will break due to the stress. The bigest problem with chains on the front is that 4X4 systems in a ATV or UTV are just not built heavy duty enuf to take the extra grip added by chains.
I would bet money on a broken U joint, striped gear or bearing loss with in 2 years due to the added weight of the plow and abuse the front end takes with chaines. (no matter how easy you take it) The rear is less likely to wear out as fast due to the lack of steering components and weight.
Its hard to really explain well, its just not a good idea to run chains on the front.

I plow with my Rhino, no chains, no sand bags, 3-1/2 + feet of snow, no problem. She takes it like a champ.

I think its just a basket/cargo rack. I remember them from when I worked at a dealer but never saw one up close.

In a few more years if the crunchies, granolas and tree huggers get their way everything will be shut down to ATVs and UTVs so the only thing you will be able to take off-road will be a mountain bike and sandals.
