Hey petescoffee....
Unless you drive stupid and slip the clutch too much, any of those clutch discs will go the miles.
If you get a pressure plate with higher than factory stock PSI, you’d better have an extra clutch slave cylinder as a spare.
The guys I knew that installed a heavy-duty rooty-tooty clutch kit, like the Centerforce Dual Friction - with an advertised “90 percent increase in holding capacity over stock”, ended up blowing out their clutch slave cylinder. They also discovered they are way too grabby for rockcrawling.
All the years I wheeled my 85 22R 5-speed shortbed, I never had a clutch go out. I did replace the clutch disc and pressure plate every time I dropped the tranny - just wasn't worth having to drop the tranny again in a year or two.
I ran my 85 22R shortbed in the Glamis sand dunes 3 or 4 times. And I did the cross-country Sonora Mexico trip through the giant sand dunes, coming out to the beach about 90 miles below Rocky Point about 4 times.
I’ve seen guys smoke a clutch in the sand dunes in about 5 minutes…. They didn’t know how to drive in the sand dunes.
Gnarls.
