Buggy in a box
 
The goatbuilt IBEX... A "weld it yourself" buggy. Seems kinda cool for low budget guys with no fab skills or tooling access like me hahahaha... Whatdya think? Anybody have any experience?

Matt Norby (a member of RCCRAWLER.COM) is building one of these buggies maybe he has some good input for you.

Their building one on Xtreme 4x4... I want to say Ian had a thread on pirate someplace for questions etc. It looked like a nicely engineered system, makes me wish I could weld tube.

I doubt I'll make it to BB this year. Even if I get it wheeling by then I want to put it through its paces before a long trip.

I've been thinking about selling my TJ and picking up one of these to see if I like the buggy stuff. I like the low cg and simple construction.
I would probly hang some body panels on it and think about a heater system for the winter wheeling.
