“e buggy is one of those vehicles that draws a diverse crowd. NASCAR racers, defense contractors, farmers, hot-rodder’s, NASA
scientists, showtruck builders, and desert racers all stand shoulder to shoulder to dissect it and gure out how it works. ey see parts of
their profession and passion in it and draw inspiration for their own projects. We all strive for the incredible, the impossible, the unique.
e HydroDynamic buggy started as an idea I had back in college, to build a vehicle that could go just about anywhere in all conditions
and not fail. Much like Rigid, the buggy uses the latest technology in its design, modeling, materials, and manufacturing. It is always being
revised to outperform itself as it is a pioneer in multiple elds and is creating a path for others to follow.
It pulls inspiration from industrial, agricultural, military, aerospace, racing, search & rescue, and o-road. e buggy is at home in
extreme environments, from ice covered mountain tops with Rigid’s cutting through the wet snow and trees, to the hot dry desert where
only the dust and rocks can survive.
e buggy runs multiple Rigid’s to handle all the terrain it will cover. It has low aiming amber diusion to ood the surrounding ground
and rocks 360 degrees in order to navigate through hard technical trails where you need to see exactly how the tire is positioned on a
boulder to avoid a rollover. It has amber and white oods and driving optics to cover the intermediate areas when carving through the
giant redwood forests on a trail that is never straight. It has Hyperspots to reach far out into the wide open desert to see which route is
the best to take without having to drive there to see it. It also has a Hyperspot light turret that you can move by hand to spot and follow a
moving object or light up an area without repositioning the vehicle.
e buggy is my dream, creation, and hobby. e eort put into it is seen by all those who are drawn in to look at the detail. I myself stand
back at times and think: How did I build this?” — Je Friesen, Rigid Nation Member
