NVBigBlue Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 Hey there! I came across this site while looking for a "buggy" project for my son. http://www.rhinobuggies.com.au/ They have a couple of machines that look pretty slick. And since I happen to have a couple of Suby's just hanging around the back forty so to speak..... I have a few questions for them, but nothing that can't be figured out. So the question is: Anyone here built one of these or even seen one? Thanks, NV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooinater Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 yep, sweet82 would be the man for that. i'd love to do the little humv one! make that into a daily driver and paint it camo like the rest of the marine corps hummers. drive on base and i'd get all kinds of looks!

Sweet82 Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Hey Guys, The SubaruHummer is a Rhino kit with some modifications. I wanted to make the Hummer also, but I couldn't justify the cost and shipping expense of the Hummer front hood section. It would have made the buggy an expensive build. At the time, I was looking to get around rust issues of a car with a perfectly good drive system (without spending big $$$). Mudrat suggested the Rhino kit rather than lifting a rusty sub, because it may be a waste of time. I'd tell you to build one! As far as I know I have the only one in North America. It would be cool to get a group of them assembled. The buggy is registered Off-road as a 2004 Rhino. On-road registration would have required substantial modifications (wheel wells/fenders etc...besides insurance, emissions and safety inspections). It's an off-road buggy! Before you start one let me know, there are some problems with the RHD to LHD conversion etc... There are also a bunch of modifications that you may want to do to the plans before you start the build. Compare these to the Rhinobuggie Bandit pics http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showgallery.php?cat=500&page=1&sort=1&perpage=12&ppuser=584&= http://usmb.net/gallery/albuo21 http://www.rhinobuggies.com.au/prod05.htm $1,500 as it sits:eek: Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
