Managed to already do some good damage to underneath, just took it to a play area by my house but found a serious hill that took lots of doing. Pics definitely do not do it justice. Also got a couple pics of air compressor and arb solenoids inside the passenger fender.

Also my solution to front swaybar clearance issues. Seemed easier, cheaper and safer than blocks.

Final inspection of after results of my play session was bent steering linkage, both rear lower control arms bent, rear driveshaft bent, and some pretty gnarly scars on both axles, at one time I had it so twisted that even with 5.29 gears the motor just pinged and stalled the torque converter (I backedoff real quick when that happened) Transfer case gears are in the near future plans with a part time kit. Very cool to know that the drivetrain is built very stout.
 
Aaron walked in my wedding so I guess you could say I know him. Its actually a 4 runner but ya we are good buddies. I sent you a pm with my number.

Wow, small world! I'm about to 3 link my 80 but will be ready for the trail again in a couple weeks if things go as planned.

Way to give 'er the beans on that hill and ledge! All those are easy/cheap fixes minus the driveshaft, thats a bummer.
