Driving down a gravel road I figured out that Mr T knew what he was doing with the bumper design on the 80. When you cut the wings of the bumper off you end up with rocks on your hood. This was one of 5 that spit up. A couple hit the windshield but didn't do any damage. I slowed down after that.
How is the King unit for return to center?
So, I have been driving without a stabilizer because my OME restricts the return to center of my rig.

"Restricts the return to center"?
King is still a neutral stabilizer needed for steering. It's a longer travel but mainly for the internal bump stops.

And just like that a random person online managed to add something to my bucket list.
You seriously need to start a build thread.
All you who agree hit like button.
You definitely have something that is working for you. I like it. I like it alot.
I know the basic about your rig but I want to know more details.
Return to center is not any different compared to before. Are you saying your steering wheel return to center normally without damper at all and with OME it doesn't return to center? Did you adjust the steering box?
I did snug up my box like an 1/8th of a turn way back... but even without a stabilizer it returns to slow. I'm even over corrected in caster which should help it be better, but does not.
My best memory of White Rim was in a rental j**p ( 
) playing support truck to my stepdad, who biked the whole 102 miles in a single day at the age of 60ish. Woulda been better in a Yota, but my '84 rustbucket didn't get along with I-70. Both my parents shame me with their athleticism.

Amazing, that is a tough work out for one day for any age. I was not able to make the trip in one day driving my Land Cruiser.
400 pictures might of been part of my problem.I'm pretty sure you over tighten the adjustment screw.....ask me how I know.
I would put it back, it might wear out the gear if it's too tight.

On White Rim, The scale alone is epic. Can you spot the Toyota in this pic?
There's a toyota in this pic too. It's just a small cliff that you drive 20 feet from the edge.
It's like an advertising shot for Toyota, or Tepui. (let me know if you want advertising rights guys, my buddy took the shot!)
I'm in this pic, a crazy land cruiser owner. My buddy wouldn't walk out there. I didn't think it would be a good idea to drive the land cruiser out there.
You wont be disappointed
Damn! I Definetly live on the "wrong coast"! I'm so jealous of the wheeling available to those of you that live West of the Mississippi!
I drove out from Ohio last year with my wife... I loved White Rim
Not the 80 but still in the family.
They tried that on the Rubicon.I think one of you guys needs to contact Google Maps and sell them on a LandCruiser version of the Google Maps car. Then we can have street views of all these trails.
Just ordered a set. I'm at a mid cycle to full rebuild and these will go on soon.
I tried to remove my old muffler that is not really attached to the rest of the exhaust system anymore.
Fail.
