Seeing your photos and reading about your adventures makes me want to quit my job, sell the house, and go on my own adventure. Very cool.
Maybe by the time I'm ready, you can sell me your rig :-)

It depends on what you mean by 'rockcrawler.' In Utah rockcrawling generally means Moab, not something like the Hammers or Black Hills. without the roofrack I have done essentially every trail in Moab except Pritchett or the BFE trails. The 80 is the ideal platform for slickrock. I would have no issues tackling the rubicon either. If I can drive it in a pretty much stock xtra cab taco the 80 would be a cake walk. But you're right it was bought and built with this trip in mind. While the 80 can run the Spike or the Rim I think it is best suited for overland travel. it handles the washboard well, has the power to carry all my crap and tons of room as well. if you're bored there are some pics throughout
my gallery page with all sort of rockcrawling pics....
as far as selling goes. I have not plans anytime soon.
give me a few more months in the truck and my mind may change however.
