Well she has an ARB up front, ordered a SLEE rear. Like the oem running boards. Will add an outback rear drawer system, a 5 speed swap, and possibly an aux tank.
 
I love a slicktop 80, thats the first Antique Sage I've seen with the roof rack removed and done right. Looks great!

How many inches of travel are the front shocks? I was able to get 10" stroke shocks up front with only 1" spring spacer and standard height springs.

Front: 10.8"
Rear: 10.2"
 
So I have been living up in NoVa for a few weeks now and can say I have been happy. Its been a welcome change, love the change of scenery, weather and people. some have said wait until you hit winter again and your gonna miss FL. For know I am not going to worry about winter, going to enjoy Spring as much as I can. Though I do admit there is something in Fl that I miss and that is my 80 series. She is stored away at my shop down there waiting for me to come get her. So while having a 70 and 100 parked in the garage here NoVa, there is nothing like my beloved 80. Its my favorite of all the cruisers I have. So while I dont have any updates except the Slee rear bumper is just waiting to be installed. I will update you with some nice Virginia pics. Took the 70 out to George Washington National Forest and went for a ride in the forest. Was a great time, found out I going to need to turbo my 3B and fix my oil pressure sender.

Installed my @yodaTEQ gull wing after 8 months in the box. Really happy with the look. Still have so much work to do on this rig. Including an engine rebuild.

That CMCC sounds fun. I'm not opposed to the idea of trying to make that one next year. Lots of mud members there by the sounds of it.
 
That RTT smiles to me!!!
Nice job.. you are building your collection of Cruisers!!
