Used her to haul about 1200lbs of quickrete and 4" posts for my deck project. Other than low riding, she never missed a beat.

Swapping a few things out 
This would be a good time to gusset the knuckle balls to the housing itself since the this truck is now on the extreme end of the 80 series wheeling spectrum.
Do they make a gusset for the 80s knuckle? I know I've seen them for the mini knuckles. Also, because of the panhard bracket I wouldn't be able to gusset it on top, would have to be on the sides - or underneath.
I think either China-Gear or Marlin might make ones that could be applicable... Or you could make your own. I would also try Dan Fredrickson at Ruff Stuff.
So... you really DO hate mud. I thought that was just a saying....

It's fun sometimes, but I do hate cleaning it up afterwards.

Great looking truck! What color and type of paint/liner did you use? That is the exact color I am going to Monstaline my 80 this spring.
Had a great weekend wheeling and camping in Big Bend National Park.
Jealous! Always wanted to do that trip.
And yet we talked quit a bit about Moab and how far it is from Central Texas. Enjoy it while you can.
That's sexier than Pam Anderson in the the first season of Baywatch.

Than k you! I recall years ago when I painted her with a two stage epoxy tan I got fugly from a lot of folks here. she is now khaki. I guess it took two wars for desert tan, khaki or coyote brown colors to become popular. I have always loved the desert and all associated colors.
Ya...it'd fit right in with all those cool khaki 70 Series in the ISIS propaganda videos..
