    Wow, Hank must have raised his prices. My last one was $90. When you go ask him for the "cash price", he hates running debit/credit cards.

    Agreed, not all chain locations are the same which is why I only go to the Downey one. I'm sorry the techs names totally escape me right now. I wanna say it starts with an A? White guy, probably 40ish. Call and tell them you've got a modified off-road truck & they'll be sure you get the right guy(s). I give them my requested specs, usually just caster +3, and they don't bat an eye, just a "you got it, I'll get it as close as I can and give you a call before I torque it all down".

    Edit: I also got the lifetime alignment on sale for like $150 & take it after every trip. I asked about issues with frequency & the guy told me "wheel every Sunday, come here every Monday".

    Are you on stock suspension or lifted? What tire size? What you want will depend on your setup. Likely just factory specs will be fine for you

    Usually the biggest factor is caster. It pushes your tires up towards the bumper away from the punch weld & cab mount. Toyota was pretty lame when designing the front end of these trucks, they should've anticipated people going nuts with mods!

    X2. And I just noticed you're in a 1st gen, so what I said my or may not be complete BS with your geometry.

    Super nice of you to circle back. Nothing yet. I have been slammed at work so I haven't done too much digging.

    Also, I think I need to replace that actuator/motor for when you change the air from hot to cold. It will wig out and go back and forth until it sticks. I

    I'm looking for a shop who knows Tacoma's that isn't super expensive. I'm going to be replacing my upper arms and want someone to do some other work for me. Belts, brakes, etc.
