Tested them out on a short trip to an ORV area. Worked great and happy with my choice. Amazing what a locked up 80 can do. Now “Ruby” will get into terrain that makes me pucker. Need to do a longer trip and try them out some more. Will definitely head out in the local snow this winter.

Getting ready to drop back on the block!!!
This looks amazing ! What did you do to the engine ? and do you have a thread for this ?
And torqued the caliper bolts?
Snow wheeling is my favorite wheeling. Post up when you go!
What is the best way to remove that sheared bolt now? I have a couple in the same condition that I need to extract.
It's pretty accessible under the frame there. Should be able to get an ez-out on to it with no issue.

So far, so good on the long block, 100% new OEM parts except the valve cover cuz NLA.
And torqued the caliper bolts?
Ya I put that in my build thread. They were tight. I removed them. Added loctite. Torqued. Torqued knuckle nuts too
You didn't get peer-pressured into buying new bolts?

No.
I keep telling my wife about the roundtoit shortage but she’s starting to get skeptical.I have a roundtuit on order. Once it arrives I'll find out.
Dude, that was a way less drama-filled post than I was hoping for. I'm disappointed.
Caliper bolt mania is the new "my water temps are above 200º should I replace my head gasket?"And torqued the caliper bolts?

Mine was relatively new bolt and nutsert so center punch and a left hand drill bit worked for me.
Picked up my 80 from the shop. New 5.29’s, Method wheels, and 37’s. I just got the compressor hooked up and running again (previous owner installed but removed switch, hose, and chuck). Sliders going on tomorrow morning. Can’t wait for Rubithon.

It's a 3fe, you could have gone 10,000 miles with no problems lol
But seriously...... part that thing out. I will take the seats off your hands.
