I would like to know if any one knows about these vehicles and any pros and cons.
http://www.rhinobuggies.com.au/
they look awesome, the blizzard is what I am interested in. For the money you get a big tough looking car which is capable. About 20 to 30k. So hopefully this thread will turn out like the oka thread with some good info as to what one of these is like as a daily work/bush day car.
(Provided you dont mind a machine that _Affordable_Storage_Drawers.aspx a fair bit of attention)

Them are heaps ugly.
If you look at the break down on the price of parts they are fairly expensive.
$250.00 for 1 door hinge alone. = $2000.00 for 4 doors.

Not sure but if you break down the price list you are going to get much for your money.
it looks like you supply the vehicle as
well.
So it is only the body that you are paying for.
That's the way I read it.

I like the look of them I suppose it comes down to how
well made they are as a 30k 4x4 is a pretty good fit and finnish.
I didnt explain but yes, you go there with your own patrol, they give you a shell and you rig it all up.

Hi F4Phantom,
30k is an awful lot to spend on a body kit. Do you get a winch,
suspension upgrade, compressor, fridge, front and rear bars, roof rack, camper trailer, Spotties, UHF, HF, Drawer system, etc.... etc.?

no you get stuff all. Yes its a lot. This is probably why they are not more popular. A nissan patrol GQ which is likley to be better made and more practical is
well under 10k ready to go.
