Not Rigless
Up for sale is a Jeep Grand Cherokee based 4-seater tube buggy. The chassis is all HREW throughout and I bought it in May 2022 from the previous owner/builder who had it since 2011. This is an entire tube chassis, so no factory frame/unibody.
The buggy is an all-around great trail rig. It drives great, crawls great, and is just an overall fun vehicle. Tons of visibility and bulletproof parts overall. The previous owner/builder wheeled throughout Texas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. We have wheeled it a few times in Tennessee and Kentucky. His kiddos fit in the backseat until they were young teenagers. Was a great rig for him, we just haven't used it as often as I expected us to. I hate to sell it since it flat out works great, but hate to see it sit more.

Misc. Info:
Backstory Info:
Previous owner/builder built this chassis as a family crawler (hence the small gas tank and bench seat in the back). The Buggy is very nimble and small for a 4-seater chassis in terms of width and overall length. Comfortable to ride in and feels very stable. The previous owner/builder wheeled throughout Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and a few trips to Golden Mountain and other parks in the southeast. I have had it on some access trails at Adventure Offroad Park (was there to watch a race), Coalmont/The Cove a few times, and Harlan. Buggy is quite comfortable for all day riding and kept up with a friends in their trail bouncer buggies.
The asking price is $20K OBO. Located in Rockvale, TN (37153). Not looking for trades partial or straight at this time.
Feel free to call or text 931-three nine seven-3319 between the hours of 7am and 9pm.
