80series cvs are all ready really strong, what motor and tyres you using

top secret

but you want to tell us... thats why you made this thread rather than visiting google

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........

i still diddnt see anywhere that your going to use 80 series running gear...

im still looking for some cheap 80 axels i want them for the strenth and width so will keep an eye out and grab them if they come up,otherwise i will use the 70 axels until i go for the conversion

use a safari front diff be way stronger than a 80 front end then put cal offroad axles in it be strong as
the only problem with that is someones already theved your safari axle for his cruiser

haha yes but the 80 has a smaller front diff head

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
