Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Ok people

post up

i want to see pics of australian rock buggies

none of that *please avoid this language* stuff either

im talking tube rock crawlers (although half chassis/tube things will do)

but no truggies

from the first gen (Sam Keck's Bazook/Dunks CJ7 ?) to pete kincaids latest thing (if it still exists) and everything in between.

i want pics.

*thanks for not using racist language here Regards RaginRover

wasn't pete antunac's crusier tubed and stuff before sam's?

yeah but petes truck is really a truggy (and in hindsight, so was sams bazook)

dunks cj was more tube than petes 40 at the time. anyone got any pics of matts jeep ?

Thats not the Tracktor. That is Trevor. And Micks 40 series has a 9" in the rear with a D44 up front.

The tracktor Rod Owens Red Tube Buggy.
And i would never have looked at Sams old zook as being anything like a Tube Buggy.

You say you would qualify it as a tube buggy because he cut the rear 3 feet off the frame and tubed it. My old hilux had more tube than that and i would not qualify that as a tube buggy. The way i usually look at it is if its still got part of a frame and a factory firewall then its only a Truggy.

As far as im aware Matt Dunk from Trailcraft built the first full tube rock crawling buggy in Aus.

Then would come Sam Kecks Half zook framed Tube Buggy. The Aztec now owned by Shorty40(Dan)

Then Sam Overton and Haultech's Lockless monster. Full Tube-

Then i could have these out of order here but i think Rod Owen/Haultech. Rangie Bases frame with full tube top. The Ruggy

Adrian Berthelson and the Jeykle. Full Tube-

Jamie Way and the Telly Tubbie Full Tube-

Now the last three are not ness in order as im pretty sure they all turned up at the one even for a first run. So i can actually remember which one came first but this was earl/mid2004 I THINK.

carlton built this halfarsedtruggy which i now give some lovin' to

I actually think Carltons may have been before mine.

Gq based chassie with Full Tube Top.

This pic was after he sold it to NAM.

mine was all tubey about the same time as sam's,
then it got more tube,
now its getting more for WE rock

Will build something full tube one day, got to mash this one first.

tube on LWB zook chassis, 101 inch wheelbase, custom MQ diffs, now on 39inch Michillin XML's.....stuff

Mock

Then Mine built by Haultech. Full Tube. The Budgie.

Then Rod Owens new Full Tube-

Sorry only pic i could find. This was a day after it was drivable.

This was Named the "Tractor" because thats what it looked like on the Outerlimits Wild Weekend.

Then Boofs Trevor the TugBoat- Full Tube

Then the Homeless built by Haultech Full tube with RHS Fabricated Rails. Built for a Customer that then decided he was too soft to drive it

Then the first of the Moon Buggies Built by Adrian Berthelson and Haultech. Has this thing got a Name Yet?

Sorry Mock im not putting you down in any way but thats not a Buggy. Its a Zook with an Exo Cage.

Then we have the final finished buggy i know of.

Mark Cheeseman's full tube buggy-

Haultech have also built 2 other full tube frames for Customers that the customers are yet to finish. We also have Toms MoonBuggy 99% finished and Nick Tonnes Legends Class buggy 30% finished.

We then have 3 more moon buggies to have finished before the W.E.Rock finals in November.

Apart from the pedal box and the steering collum attached to the fire wall, everything else is attached to the chassis or tube, seats and all, or do I have to have airshocks for it to be a buggy.

just as much a buggy as any of those mentioned that have any part of a box section chassis left

Mock

this is a good thread... good right up tony

Jeremys Easter Buggy

As i said im not having a go at you. But no mater how I look at that, its a Zook Chassie with a Zook Tub and a Exo cage. Unless its different to what you have in the above pictures.

It still has the zook floor pan,The zook Firewall and part of the Zook tub Correct?

If soI would class it as a Truggy.

Actually a Zuggy as the word truggy came from a tubing out a Toyota. Toyota+ a lot of Tube= Truggy instead of a buggy.

Rods original Half Rover Half Tube set up was known as the Ruggy.

pete kincades exhaust-roofed thing is another

(i'm too lazy to find a pic)

Ok, Its a zuggy
I am working on it at the moment, it will be more buggy, but will still have the tub....
