What do you think of them and would it be worth buying one for the axels for a buggy.

you can get just the axles from a place in vallejo if that is all you after. it will save you some coin.

By the time you get ddone building one tons you could definitely have a set of mogs.
They're tough enough but pretty funky. For a full hydro linked buggy it won't be that big of a deal to put them in. You'll need pinion flanges to get rid of the torque tubes. You'll need b/p specific wheels no smaller than 17" unless you plan on changing hubs and brakes.
If you plan on doing any major mods to them I suggest skipping it and just doing a 60/14-60-70-etc combo.
The major mods kill the deal.... you can then have killer one tons for much less.

Thats what i was thinking it would be better off to build some 60's then go through the headache.

i got my mog axles for 1200( one steering one not) the pinion flanges were 200 a piece and there were tons of steel wheels available for a reasonable price... but most were 20 in wheels . that screws you for tires. other than that they have gears and lockers ready to go. i would say its a toss up.

How hard is it to find parts for them though.

easy. stock parts you get from expedition imports and after market parts are made by several different companies.
