Re: 80 series
I would buy a set if I could afford too, I have broken a cruiser birfield
, and it was a bitch to pull it out on the side of a muddy track
, for the record I have a 3B and was running 33" Maxxis Buckshot Mudders, but I did have the steering turned a long way
.....and the difflock in too
......I have since been told not a good thing........ 





No matter the problem, the answer is always give it more gas.......

Re: 80 series
Since you're all 80 series experts and I'm very grateful to find you, anyone have or know of a 4.1 front R&P or whole diff head assembly in good nick? a 4 spider even better. Mine had an accident towing backwards and lost 5 teeth from the ring. I thought that only happened to Jeeps! thanks for any pointers, Gordon
