Is this a retirement for this truck from serious wheeling?

In all seriousness, it’s not going back to the Rubicon until it has a rear bumper with serious rear quarter panel protection. That’s where most of my damage was, some due to early career driver error, some due to the whimsies of the trail. I did take my wife’s 80 on 35’s through cleanly last year….
I’ll likely be working with Bump It Offroad on the bumper later in the year. Having never been to Solid Axle Summit that’s on my list for this year, and not worried if I don’t have said upgraded bumper by that time. It’s still the rig of choice for wondering around Death Valley, Nevada and Utah.

Your 60 is massively overkill for SAS trails. Mine is similarly set up and I only have to lock the hubs for the one obstacle on the Poughkeepsie trail in that system. It’s still a great time though
Shellb: Are you getting one of my son’s turbo kits? (Cruisers and Company). He makes an 80 sing, that’s for sure. Mama’s 80 is going to the CnC spa and resort soon, have to have the kid’s Stage 2 turbo and transmission wizardry.
Yes! Johnny is building an 80 for me with Kelly’s help and then we’re moving onto a 79 series!
Rosie Ruby is a 3H4 Medium Red K292 1997 Fzj80 full blown poverty pack edition... No lockers, fabric interior, no roof rack, no rub rails and most importantly no sunroof.
She's a rare beaut...
@shellb has an eye for these beauts. When he saw her on the craigslist he had to have her and immediately contacted the owner to work out a deal. A new chapter was starting for Rosie Ruby and pretty soon she was on a transport from Arizona to Colorado. Upon getting to Colorado @shellb knew she needed some love. With nearly 250K miles on her she was dirty, tired...
