The 80 is Still avail - running it up from TX to VA this weekend. Finding that it's hard to sell a truck when you aren't there to show it....
it'll be in the Norfolk area next week until it sells - stored inside our shop when not driven.
to those inquiring on the hood - I'll let the next owner decide the future of that... it's about $1200 for OEM new and color matched according to my shop.

So the 80 had a smooth trip up from Houston to Norfolk / Newport News, VA area over the weekend- 1400 miles in 21 hours ......I'd forgotten how smoothly it rides and I got several thumbs up along the way, even from the driver of one of those new Ineos Grenadiers.....
I'm storing inside at my facility here and will gradually work on a few items on my punchlist until it finds the right next owner...... it turned 246k on the way up. Exactly double the mileage of my current DD, but more reliable by far....
PM me if interested in more details or pics etc...

Congrats to @LLTB, I think you’ve got a fine rig there. Quick question to @RS6tofj80… the 4x4 labs rear bumper. Did you ever tow anthing with it? I’ve got a super heavy rear bumper now on my LX450 and… while I like the 4x4 labs setup, have always been a bit on the fence about cutting the rear crossmember and how much it could actually ‘safely’ tow. Not looking to tow boats… just an offroad trailer like a Turtleback or AT Chaser, etc. I’d say about 3,500lbs or less??
Thanks… good looking wagon there, btw….

Afternoon @SFCDiablo - the truck found a great new owner so I'm stoked...
I've had the 4x4 labs rear on 2 of my 80's and found it's fine for stuff under 4k.... I did tow my C63 track toy once about 20 miles on a drive-on trailer - combo weight likely was 4500-5k and it was fine, but the brakes were at the limits....I didn't notice any flexing or such. Luke's design seems to hold up well...

It's an 08 downbadged to a Puch.... but you get it... Like you I loved my built 200, but the HP of the 55 is hard to match..... any mods to yours ?

No, my G55 was mostly stock, except for the G550/Fox suspension. I sold it a couple of years ago (need to update my signature) and have been considering something else with similar HP. The m113k engine was oh so addictive. I've never had an interest in the G63, but I doubt that engine is nearly as rewarding as the supercharged m113.

I love the sc'er.... this went thru a full rebuild by Eurocharge in Austin - plus Southern rebuilt the tranny to take the HP, and Eurocharge did a ECU/TCU tune...
We had a 63 that was fun - insanely fast with the E40 tune on it.... but once it was totalled out due to a texting teenager we decided to replace it with a 55 to we could do a winch bumper, not an option on the 63 with all the cooler ( 9 !)
I have feeler on Expo.... it give a bit more insight... happy to chat if you're interested. It's super clean and ready to go anywhere, quickly....

And a long read on my 200 Build if you're bored.... loved the rig but couldn't ever get enough power.... the guy I sold it to did the Harrop Sc'er and is happy once it finally got a stable tune....

So after a slight hiccup with a JKU build I'm VERY happy to be back in the LC family....... the Heep was interesting, very capable and well supported in the aftermarket but not a daily or good for covering distance.....perhaps I made an error in going with a soft-top....as the suspension (...
