And solid axles!!! You know... Some live and die by them, and nothing else will do.Digging up an old thread, but curious on guys that are maintaining both an 80 and 200 series.... With limited time to provide the level of maintenance that I want to give my truck, I'm not sure I can keep both.
My 80 is a bit different as it has the 4.7 V8 so it helps bridge the gap between the 200, but there is no denying the power and comfort of the 2018 200 Series the wife is driving. I wanted to see how the 200 would grow on me and I'm just finding it hard to commit. I know after a bit of dress up id find it easier, but this 80 has a definite hold on me.
I think much of this is just the nostalgia of my 80 and the looks, but we lose more and more OEM parts every year on the 80 and that adds a bit of stress on someone looking at the long game.
Thanks for listening....

Prob makes a difference if you're running Rubicon trails all the time.
