4wheeler to clear the gate so I could open it for the tractor

 

You can't tell from the specs alone. You need to get the caster from the cams and not the uppers for the most tire clearance.

You need a knowledgeable person to align it to get best results. The aforementioned Brian knows his shit.

 

Oh good... it's just the key fob to start the truck

 

Understood. What I meant to ask was how much caster do u typically aim for? Ignoring tire clearance for now. For driveability sake what specs do you target/which are realistic since we both currently have SPCs? I have lots of wandering with current alignment, I have to fight the truck to keep it straight on highway

 

Maybe just lick the coating off

 

My uniball TC ones were squeaky as shit. Replaced with delta joints. For the hilux I got delta joints right away. Easier maintenance

 

3 minimum. With your caster being .5 degrees off from side to side it's no wonder you're wandering. You really need at least 3 degrees of caster and +/- .1 cross caster. That with worn steering rack bushings and you might as well be a pacman character being played by a guy drunk on blue yummies.

 

3 degrees of caster?
What're you a girl?

 

good to know - closer for him too. Son-in-law takes his truck there and says they are top notch. Knowing Brian is there would make them my first and only choice if it is something I can't do myself. May have to stop in and simply say hello. He is a good person and the only person I'd want to work on my truck.

 

It'll pull to side with less caster, so I always run less on the driver side to compensate for road crown.

 

All the caster

 

I just now realized I wasn't replying to @Squeaky Penguin .

I don't think I know you well enough to give you shit like that but maybe we can just pretend I do

 

He likes it

 

Oh my very delicate feelings

 

Not failure, but my UBJs are completely worn out with 11k on them. I have a new set to install and am going to push for them to refund me the cost to replace under warranty.

do the Ironman ones look good?

 

Not adjustable and 4 degrees of added caster means poor tire clearance. So I'd say no.

 

Probably should dig out my 1st gen one of these days.

 

Are u keeping ur truck? I thought you were thinking of selling

 

I go back and forth. Just drove out to Carbondale in the girlfriends RAV4 Prime and I’m not sure how much we will use the truck anymore…
