Thnx Jon -- & yea I'm swapping out the fuel tanks on the bronco for ya -- shocks & tires too!
Re: the 80, it's definitely been a fun rig and never let me down once, except that time I left the lights on while skiing and came back to a dead battery, but other than that, it's taken good care of me on all my adventures & will more than likely continue to do so into the foreseeable future.
Re: Axle build -- I have good replacement birfs ready to go, you just need a seal kit, paper towels, and the free time & motivation to swap out. I've heard they can go a long time clicking -- and could potentially be swapped left to right to prolong life. axle seals need to be done anyway, might as well plop in the new axles.
