    Long time no post. Laid up with a back thing, valium, vicodin and Zanaflex, sleep two hours, suffer for four hours, take more meds.

    Caleb, did you get happy with your alignment last month? My alignment experience is with highway cars I ass/u/me what you posted is about right for off road. For interstate I want more angle on the right front so the car will pull s little bit to the left on flat roads.

    The difference betwwen lf and rg is called bias. For an interstate car I want enough bias to ride pretty good in the right lane, but not so much bias that I spin into the median every time I get in the left lane.

    I -think- for off road I would want zero bias, expecting to side hill ccw as often as I side hill cw.

    Sprint cup cars are set up with a LOT of left bias for most tracks so the driver has to work about as hard in the straights turning the wheel to the right as s\he has to work turning the wheel to the left in turns.

    Pretry sure I saw your truck coming home from dip netting the Kenai last month
    Nice ride.

    If you are wheeling some and commuting a bunch you might consider decent Street tires on whatever rims to save your biggies for adventure with maybe a leetle tiny bit if bias to the left
    Make Ur commute a lititle easier without disabling yourself off road

    Please note as I write this I find scotch works bettrr for back pain than gin, plus the stuff in the pharmacy bottles.

    Would like to hear from someone who knows that zero bias is correct for an off road taco.

    I sure did! Was driving on some newly paved roads in town and it drives perfectly straight. Just like the guys said the roads here in AK definitely have ruts in them that will pull your vehicle around. But when driving on a level road my truck drives straight. And thanks man! I do a lot of committing but I definitely spend a decent amount of time off road, sometimes alone (which I know I shouldn't do lol), but the Cooper ST Maxx that I'm running get me pretty decent fuel economy, I typically can get 290 miles out of a full tank, which for a 285/75/16 weighing 61 pounds is pretty good. They also have great roads manners and handle even better off road.
