I'm not sure if you noticed but you have a little rust hole in that last picture
And not only is it easier to get places but a lot better for the trails as you're not spinning needlessly tearing then up .. so don't be shy and use them!
I love seeing another 80 out driving about. To steal a line from James May, seeing one gives me a special fizzy feeling

Saw a white 80 flat towing a 1st gen hilux yesterday on interstate 20 headed west towards Dallas. Wasn’t able to get a pic but it was a glorious sight.
Ordered some WKOR sliders and a set of Toyo AT-IIIs in 315/75r16 this morning.
My new gears would pop out. Had to drive a nail through it to keep the gear in, just fyi.

You're going to love the WKOR's...excellent fit & finish and easy to install. I replaced my cats recently and checked the threads in the frame for the mount behind them (which were clean fortunately on mine)....that would be the only bastard issue if the threads need to be chased. The bolt that everyone cranks about on the brake line really isn't that big of a pain if you take your time.

We have very steep, caliche (slippery type of dirt that comes from lime stone) hills in the Texas Hill Country. Trying to climb one of these super steep hills without lockers is an excellent way to roll your truck. I watched a guy climb one of these hills in front of me with a brand new "full-time 4 wheel drive" pickup truck without lockers. He bounced and slipped so badly on the rocks that his truck almost turned sideways. If he had, he would have rolled. The hill was that steep. After he made it to the top, I 3x locked my truck and climbed the hill without bouncing or slipping once. My passenger was stunned after watching the pickup. Lockers make that much difference. They are NOT just for mud! I had almost rolled my rig on this very hill a few years before I got lockers. The guy in the truck thanked me profusely for the warning I gave him ahead of time. He now has lockers too!And not only is it easier to get places but a lot better for the trails as you're not spinning needlessly tearing then up .. so don't be shy and use them!
