I was wondering who’s done this trail in an 80? Me and a friend were talking about it and we can think of 6 or 7 80s total who have done it, but I figure that there has to be more.

I need to edit this. To who’s done Pritchett in an 80I did it in 1984 in my FJ40 all the way and over the top! No lockers on 32’s.

God it’s changed a lot since then! I had my 35s swallowed by 42” holes dug into the rock on axle hill last yearI did Pritchett, once, over 20 years ago. Stock factory lockers, OME springs, 33" tires - pretty typical for the day.
The only significant damage was bashing the catalytic converters to the point where the internal honeycomb matrix was turned to rubble, and made for a pretty restricted exhaust. Didn't really notice it until driving back home from Moab and noticed I couldn't get back up to normal highway speeds.
It was definitely doable back then, but the point made above about trail wear making it more difficult makes sense (though I've not been out there since to see for myself.)
For me, it was cool to do, but I find milder stuff more to my liking these days.
Every time I'm on Pritchett there is a roll either in the group or in another group. Here is a jeep that was back on its wheels after Chewy hill bit back.View attachment 3240815
Here is my favorite rollover on youtube for Pritchett:
