OK, now that I have decided that I will probably go with a 80 for my towing/trailriding rig, I need to know what to look for and good mods to do for what I am using it for.
I plan on trying to find a 93-94. I figure I should look for one with diff locks and full floater rear. What options and things should I look for in purchasing a used 80 for towing and trailriding?
Here are some other questions I have:
How to I know for sure it will have a FF without pulling a wheel?
Is the tow package necessary, what does one with this option have that other don't?
Is it better to get a stouter bumper/receiver and add the cooler and wiring to a non-tow option rig?
What modifications are best for a tow rig are a must, and which are nice to have (towing ~5000 lbs with 18' trailer w/brakes)?
What modification are best for light trailriding that will work decent when towing?
Thanks for helping out the 80 newb
