    Anyone have 2 laying around they want to get rid of? I'll buy even if they need to be rebuilt. Or if you know where to get some decent inexpensive ones please let me know

    Watch marketplace. They go quick if they are a good deal and the guys selling these beat the hell out of them especially if they are the race spec. Keep in mind that new they can be had for $400 each new for the non-race spec (or less in 2.0) VS. the rebuild kits are about $100 each plus $200 labor each to be rebuilt by a shop that will warranty their work. Really need to be around $100 each to be worth the extra effort of going used.

    Ya been watching marketplace for a while now just thought I ask here too. Looking for 2.5 can't find any under $550

    Have you heard anything good about them? I've read only a couple of reviews on pirate4x4 and they didn't sound very good

    Nope but pirate4x4 hasn't been current in 5 years so if a company was bad mouthed on there over 5yrs ago and is still in business then you are probably safe as they must have improved to stay in businesses. I would look at facebook, reddit, and irate4x4 (the pirate replacement) reviews and focus on ones from the last couple years to get a better idea.
