Well, what I did with my 80 this week/weekend is bought it. My 3rd locked 80 (93/97/95). I've had two 100's as well and still have a built, locked 2005 for my Moab trail vehicle I beat up on (and ski trip vehicle).
6/1995 build date which included the chrome mirrors and door handles (for build dates 5-95 to 12-95), fully cosmetically restored. 2 owners, California rig, stripped completely down, new paint, new flare rubbers, interior completely gutted with new leather front and middle rows, stripped and refinished wheels with new 285 K03's and a brand new 2" lift. Looking forward to this one! Good to have another locked 80 in the collection! I've heard the new K03's have trouble being balanced so we'll see. May yank those and slap my preferred K02's on it. Have had 4 sets of K02's with zero balancing issues even after heavy trail use in Moab.

Good taste in beer!
That SUCKS, man!!!! I havent done that, but there have definitely been days like that!!!! I know EXACTLY what youre feelin!!!!! lolGot my front gears installed, pinion depth correct, preload within spec, pattern was looking good, I pulled her apart for the final cleanup for assembly, and the f'ing thing rolled off my table hit the hard concrete floor in the garage, checked it and no apparent damage, then I noticed my carrier adjuster wasn't working smoothly. I had dented the corner of the diff where the bearing caps sit, and it destroyed the threads..... anyway, I just ordered a new empty 3rd from marlin, and I have a nice snow pic from Camp Sherman, OR to calm me so I don't throw a wrench at anything.

Ha, that's the one from BAT. I'm very curious to get your feedback on the condition of the rig. Having grown up in Miami, I am always suspicious of sellers based there, specially flippers. Is that a Slee bumper on your 100? Nice garage!The Eagle has landed. Driver did a great job. He's from Miami and did not like our cold central Missouri weather today!

Valley Tech rear bumper. Ironman front bumper. Excellent condition so far after my 30 minute look over. California rig and Jhoandry has restored a few. Really happy with it so far. I'll start giving it the head-to-toe once over later this evening. It's my 3rd locked 80 so I know them well. I always enjoy digging in on a new one.Ha, that's the one from BAT.
