Hey guys, Here are before, during, and after shots of my first hunting buggy project. Everything I've done so far is just cosmetic, to make it actually look like a hunting buggy. I wrapped it, rhino lined pretty much everything else, fixed some dents and did some work to the interior.

I still need to finish bumpers, for sure want to add a road feeder, maybe some sort of rack for hauling corn and stuff on, and maybe some sort of high rack (The black top over the bed can be removed pretty easily.)

Any suggestions on type of road feeder, high-rack design, etc...?









If ducks had horns I'd probably be a duck hunter.
I am a horrible deer hunter. Probably the worst. Ever.

Looks great. Game Guard is the best looking camo in my opinion.

Love the Suzuki Samis. Go-anywhere little trucks. Nice project.

Looks really good so far. There is a guy in the classfied section that does high racks for Polaris Rangers that would probably make one for it.

How sturdy is that bed cover, you may could put a short basket on it to carry your corn. Nice looking Sammy...

Thanks for the compliments... I bought a Hercules Road Feeder and a game rack from Bucees a couple weeks ago for it, but I still have to finish bumpers before I can use them.

That is a rallytop sport top. They have a website, and there are some dealers out there. It's fiberglass, and about as sturdy as anything I'm gonna need.

Put a receiver on both the front and rear, then you can switch out winches and racks for whatever your doing.


Thaz right..

Nice samurai the wrap looks cool. I had a XJ Cherokee with one for a few years. Finally the mesquite would tear it or on the edges dust would get under it and it got in bad shape. It had a kind of cool ragged look to it but I finally took it all off. It came off easy. I am not sure what kind of material it was the previous owner did it.

I could think of several ways to build a sweet little two man high rack for that rig. Put a basket on the front
