Has anyone every built a buggy using dirt bike rims and tires? Sure would be different and should do good in the mud too. Im not sure how the axle/spindles would work though.

weight vs tire width may be the limiting factor....Likely would be digging trenches more than anything else...

Look into paraplegic off-road wheel chairs for design ideas. They use a mountain bike crossed with a chair, but you should be able to transfer the idea to MX motorcycle components.
