| 50,000 miles and only $500 spent on a 13 year old rig? Can't beat it! Being a PO of Heeps as well (3 XJs, 1 YJ), I was lucky to spend that in just 6 months on one! I just replaced my son's XJ w/a 4Runner (we've had 3) and w/only 150K on the ODO we know we have y-e-a-r-s to go onthe drivetrain. You ARE going to spend more on upgrades like bumpers/sliders on your 80, but if if you buy from the vendors here on MUD, your post-purchase experiences will be returned 10 fold. Try calling 4Wheel Parts with a question on SS brake lines...Christo at Slee is more than happy to discuss the pros/cons of anything 80 related. This site is by far the most knowledgable on ANY vehicle that I have found, and searching will reward you with tons of info and opinions regarding upgrades such as suspension and armor. Oh Yeah, welcome to the addiction!
