Mad Manx · 23 Mar 2005, 7:02 am

Australia seems to be the only place that uses buggys for what they were intended for- most the foreign magazines and web sites contain street and stip buggys....... GO THE OFFROADERS I say:beer:beer:beer

Mad Manx · 29 Mar 2005, 7:31 am

Your Buggy looks familiar.....was built in Rocky some years ago. I remember seeing it on a used car lot 6 or 7 years ago.

VDUBXTC · 21 May 2005, 10:27 pm

james(DNVK) little green beast

VDUBXTC · 22 May 2005, 12:24 am

And a Updated pic of my green Beast. 😉

Mad Manx · 22 May 2005, 10:36 am

manx_xtc are you trialing some adaptor plates in that last pic or do you have redrilled hubs? I've been thinking of using some adaptors so I can fit some cheap/light commodore alloy wheels to my buggy but im not to sure about the strenght factor.

VDUBXTC · 22 May 2005, 1:59 pm

They are adaptors.
I Will be using the steel commodore rims front and rear for the bush and beach, and i will be using the alloys for the road.
I don't think any off these latter alloy wheels are up for a bashing in the bush

lol..... I had a set of these 17" wheels on our vr dunniedore for years with 235/45x17..... great off road wheels.

but really, the wheels are very good off road.... I have a mate running them on an race car with 33' tall tyres and he hasn't bent one yet....:thumb
