FNG here. 30 something male, born and raised in PHX, learn to drive stick in my dads manx when I was 14, First car was a baja and went on to have several VWs. I enjoy camping\hunting\fishing\pina coladas and long walks on the beach. I have just started my first buggy/vw project in over 10 years. Been casually watching the vw scene from afar and now that I look closer prices have really skyrocketed! Now... On to my post. I just wanted to see if anybody agrees or disagrees with me but I think rynos are lame!
Its like the whole feminazation of men. Men used to ride motorcycles, then they got quads so they wouldnt tip over and had a place to put there six pack. Now with rynos, they have 4 wheel drive and a cooler on back! It was bad enough when some of my friends bought quads because they thought they were "safer" but now EVERYBODY has Rynos/rangers/teryx in camp! So when the constant nagging by my wife when she was stuck in camp with the kids while I go out on my KTM has led me to sell my beloved motorcycle. I started looking around to see what my options were and when I measured my trailer to see if a manx buggy would fit, I was hooked again! My plan is to build a more capable buggy for about half the price. Complete with roll bar and cooler rack.

Uhh, welcome! Welcome, and post lots of pics and keep us posted on your progress!

rhinos are way to expensive for what you get. and i agree to many people own rhinos cause they are safer and whatever other reasons but why.
why not just get a baja or build a baja for 1/2 or 3/4 what it would cost for a rhino and you can go just as many places that they can.
just my .02

Welcome!!
