Nice find! Thanks for all the help with my 80. I think it will be a good platform for your young family.

Unfortunately not, the plan is to ARB lock it along with gears. Starting the shake down phase now...

Nice, I knew that one would not last long. That red one is tempting but still a little expensive I believe.

Great looking rig and looking foward to seeing what you do with it

That red one was ok, interior was trashed, and had slight issues.
