    I didn't know you could get the job done without the fancy stuff that the shops have.

    It's actually "fairly" simple to do, just takes some time and requires no special tools at all. I do it in two steps, camber/caster as one, and toe separately. The only tools you need for camber and caster is an angle finder, some scrap metal or wood with a strait edge and a protractor. For toe you just need a tape measure and a nail (but spraypaint makes it easier).

    If I have some time I'll do a full on writeup on how to do the entire thing.

    I would look forward to that. A local shop opened up several months ago and I got a deal on 3 years of alignments. Once that runs out though, or if I'm out of state and needing one, would definitely be nice to know.:cool:

    There's no way anyone would go through this process while wheeling.
    My "in the field" alignment consists of...fuck the camber, just max out the caster. And do toe alignment by eyeball. :eek:

    Bought a little ipod/iphone cup holder mount and took it apart, cut a hole in that random little square spot in the cup holders and ran my aux cord to it.

    LOL :D they are pretty damn nice I need to brake them in they still feel new but they are sweet. They hold you in place nicely the only thing i don't like is the seat belt buckle is mounted on the seat mounts and not the seat so it don't move with the seat as you slide it But I'm going to be changing that :cool:

    Oh and P.S. these are heated too :p
