I've been driving the little beast for three weeks now, and I find the 3FE to be just fine. I have to shift it (still haven't adj. kickdown yet) from 3rd to D getting on the interstate, and most times leave it in 3 around town. I added some 32's, up from the 31" tires that were on it when I bought her. No real noticable changes in pwer there, and speedo is right on the money according to local speed check zone.
Simply put, I just love the 3FE. With 180,000 miles on it, just purrrrrs right along. After Christmas, I'll be doing lots of maint. on it. I've got the clunk, so will be doing d-shafts first. Then definately getting the stereo replaced with the speakers. I think I'll be making a trip to see LDD, since he's not too far away.
No off-road trips yet, but will take it soon. I'll get some pics up with the new BFG AT KO's, looks much manlier now.
Thanks for al the help, I've been searching faq just about every chance I get. I've learned alot. Most importantly, I've learned that the mighty 80 series is a beast to be reconned with. I feel safe driving a truck with 180,000 miles on it. That says alot right there.
P.S. All my Jeep buddies really love my 80 too. I think we may see some more Newbs pop up soon.
