    The alignment shop up here on base is awesome. I have the LR UCA’s, but the Icon’s should be as adjustable. What I did for my truck was set my back lowers all the way out, and the front lowers all the way in. This pushed the center of the tire forward. I carried it to the shop and told them to do the alignment with the upper control arms. We dialed in the castor to around 2.7, then adjusted the camber. Once we got it close, I let them use the bottoms for the final adjustments.

    This is my passenger side, looking rom the top of the tire down and back. I had to put an angle on my fender flare and beat down the pinch weld. I used a heat gun and paint scraper to remold the plastic from the pinch weld. I haven’t wheeled the STT Pro’s yet, but the Falkens were good. Both sets are 285/70/R17.

    I've been dealing with a slight rub reversing since they aligned mine. Been meaning to go back.

    I have a slight rub when reversing and hitting a big enough bump.

    I’ll do like what @TacoAlaMode said and do my lowers. Bc honestly unless I’m out there watching them idk what they’re doing. I could ask the tech to let me help him I guess with the icons.

    Got this 4Runner bumper all finished today with my buddy. Turned out quite nice and it was all made from my scrap bin. Nice way to recycle material.

    My LR upper arms are still at 0 setting they said didn't need adjusted same thing as cahaba tire told me. Seems to me when Firestone aligned them it almost pulled them rearward more so than they were before. Mine definitely need pushed forward.

    After the beach trip this weekend, we are wanting something like this to keep ice longer. Where are they on sale at?

    That 30 looks perfect for a trip for the family to the beach, camping, etc. I've always used cheap Igloo hard coolers, but I'm ready to ditch those and get with the times!

    I like your white Pelican hard cooler you had at Chocco. Does that one hold ice for days too?
