I was looking at the Rhino RTV and liked the concept and the price though it looks really high centered. Anybody know of a company that could build a turnkey buggy for under $30k. I'm not lookin for psycho rig, but maybe

longfield toyota alxes, (or 44/60 combo)
2.0L motor, (just Don't need V8 power for what I do)
5.?? Atlas, (or toyota dual cases)
full hydro,
37" MTR's
two seater
4 link w/ coilovers (nothin too fancy)
100" wheelbase (I like it short)

I know I could buy parts to build a F-toy or x-chasis for under 30K but my work schedule does not leave me much free time and I have very limited fab skills (i.e. no welding or tube bending)
I've looked at some nice rigs for sale on the rig section, but would like the reliability of something with brand new parts.

Let me know if you guys know of any companies that could do this or also if you have bought a turnkey in this range, can you show me some pics and specs.

Another possible option is to buy a used buggy, such as the one mattyj posted, and take it to a reputable shop and have it checked over, and parts replaced/rebuilt as you see fit, to give you an almost new buggy that is still within your budget.
