thanks to mud, i figured out the vibration with my wheels. I run a spydertrax spacer which i didn't realize need proper centering with 3 conical lugs. Duh! All along i've been blaming the BFG KO2s.
I was glad i was able to take care of this since we just came back from exploring the Buffalo Gap Grasslands and northwest of Black Hills. Night and day, compared to my last trip out to CO (which is 2x the drive!). Feeling dumb and relieved.
And the highlight of the weekend, my boys took the wheel for the first time!

Looks like a fun trip! Question - why spacers if you are using the stock wheels?
Fair question. 80% looks, 20% additional width stability which my truck needs (heavy rack and RTT).
I bought an Ideal brand tire grooving tool and went to work rejuvenating my Super Swamper trXus.

It was mrs surfpig's birthday weekend and we usually do the same. I loves a nice hot spring on a cold day!

When I scroll too fast through this thread and combine @baldilocks weekend of tire grooving with @surfpig 's weekend saying we usually do the same on his wife's birthday... and think to myself WTF - is tire grooving is an acceptable thing to do on your wife's birthday!?!
If it is your wife is a keeper.
finally fixed my @#%ing airbag light. Ended up being the airbag control module behind the center console. For 95-97 cruisers part # 89170-60010. I gambled and bought a used one off eBay and it worked.
also relocated a small amp to the glove box. We will see how that works out.
And finally fixed my seat leather! Wright up on that coming soon.

Getting truck ready for winter driving
10 day trip from northern Montana to western Utah, then Moab for a few days. Ran Hells revenge, all of Fins n things, Poison Spider Mesa, Golden Spike and parts of a few other trails. Snapped a birf on a heavy throttle, turbo-diesel assault up a few ledges and did 1/2 of golden spike with 3wd (had a spare birf but didn’t even need to install it). Knuckle balls still have not snapped off and killed everything in a 10 mile radius.
More pics. The truck will be up for sale soon, if anyone is interested send me a P.M.

Whatcha replacing the 80 with?
I’m almost finished a solid axle swap on a supercharged 4door Tacoma. I like to wheel harder than the 81 does and I don’t wanna ruin a nice truck.

After a trip last month with 80 miles of trails, the stock roof rack and Yakima box were not going to cut it any longer.
So I stepped up to a Front Runner rack and added a Batwing awning for good measure!

Wheeled it for the first time. It did amazing! Cleghorn trail, SoCal. Next stop, Calico!
Clef Horn is a walk in the park for an 80 with even 33s.
