Re: G80 vs Truetrac
I loved how my G80 performed in the snow. Very confident. My six passengers agreed. But then I was driving normally, not stomping on the gas and quickly cranking the wheel.

There’s a topic about it somewhere if you search. All I remember is that it didn’t seem worth it .

Re: Shock Absorber choices?
I was happy with the Rancho's I had. I didn't find them too stiff. KYB, Monroe and Gabriel are all good quality, reputable manufacturers. Since you get on logging roads frequently, you might benefit from a more "performance" model, which will likely have a monotube design. (gas-a-just for KYB). Bore...

Re: Front diff swap
Neat trick.
I would add something to prevent the box tube collapsing from lateral load.

Re: AWD Rack and Pinion install
My new van has R&P steering and I hate it. It tries to break my fingers off when I'm driving over logging roads. I miss the Astro steering, even if it did eat idler arms.
