Buggy in a box...

Seems cool if you have limited tools/space. Xtreme 4X4 is building one right now.

Seems well thought out. I like the fact it uses the same links and driveshafts f&r. Much want.

Big time, i want too! I wonder the cost of the kit. Rumor has it that TMR maybe building chassis by next year, great because it's "local ".

Personally I find it an ugly design, not to mention that a big price for a lot of straight tubes. Looking at it quickly you have about 10 bends in the whole thing!
Anyone can notch and tube....

My 2 cents.

Goat has a decent thread up on Pirate with design details and some pricing I think - I remember following it when it was first announced.

I also heard that your parting your axles out and going Rockwell's...

See I can start rumors too!

Ah, 2299 for the 2 seater. Not too bad, i would be more partial to more bends too, but i do like the design and would look badass with me behind the wheel.

Yes, but for some people who do not have all the tools, this is a great starter. Not all buggy designs are for everyone. Some people will like, some will hate. I think its a great idea. I can see a few companies getting into this market fairly soon.

That's why I included "personally" in my statement Logan. I do agree there is a place in the market for a kit of this type, but generally someone who's ready to commit to this type of project is willing to the whole thing from scratch to have their own signature on it. I do like the way he has a DIY jigthingy and and the lazer cut notches and reference points. No my cup of tea but like I said he's got a market for sure.
