Like it never happened. ... I'll probably leave the seats out for a while, or at least one of them.
And here I was looking in the bucket of the tractor for something cool!! No it looks good and happy to help out with it.
 
Can someone with a 80 and a temperature gun do me favor, after driving on highway a solid 30 to 45 minutes take a temperature reading on you rear hubs. Specially end of your rear axle shaft. I'm reading 120*f +/- 10* after driving 30+minutes. I have loosened up my parking brake adjustment. The drum is reading 170*+ .

Next time I drive mine I’ll do that for you
 
Finally getting my little one ready. Installed some new Pro Comp rear springs to replace the clapped out Ranchos. I gained ~2" of lift and moved the reat axle back another 3/8". I also installed a set of Marks Off Road shackles for more travel and a slight more lift. @65swb45 I hope to clear the rear inner fender a little better.

Trail Taylor brake backing plate installation, definitely needed additional coats of paint, only one slight difference that I'm pointing to in picture. Overall not a bad replacement. They did send me two for the right rear instead of right and left rear. Definitely is centered on my hub better than my old one. Everything is back together, test drive in morning to see if this helps with hub temp issue. I did take some measurements, spindle does not appear to be bent.
