Jeep humor waiting room ( ** NO POLITICS ** )

IMO, toe out makes most sense for stability, especially with a lift. Supposed to make it so that bumps and such don't push the tires inward, instead pushing slightly outward on both tires, and thus helps avoid bump steer and DW.

I have b been running 37s for 59,000 miles. I run 1/8 toe out. I also run the Steer Smart Yeti components. My Jeep drives great. No wandering, no odd tire wear.

Two votes for going out.

I will see what the actual toe was set to, but I did try to make it as close as possible. Should probably have put the axle on stands and tied the aluminum to the bolts directly to take the tire variance out of the equation.

How much do I really want to pay a shop for "laser alignment" anyway?

Yeah, a tool like that is likely what I'm going to go with. Want to find one that fits the lug patterns for all my vehicles.

They’re just identifying as ball joints today.

Afternoon, Folks.
Late start to CFG today. I am going to finally install the crossbar and harness today.
Oddly warmer today. Its up around 60.

The workshop is unheated, so I'm sure there's going to be lots of fumbling and sore hands for the install lol. Only 2900 mi on the stock set, so I'm hoping things come loose pretty easy. Gotta double check fitment with my ball joint press and double check tools/sockets to take off the wheel hubs.



They cured my steering shimmies (not full DW) on my JK too. Knew they had to be one of the first things to go in on the JL. With the JK I went through 3 or 4 sets of other ball joints in 30k mi. The Dynatracs lasted 70k mi without needing rebuilt. Expecting good things out of the JL set.

I did ball joints and knuckles a few months back. Nothing surprising if you've done that job before. A more complete ball joint kit will make it an easier job.

The Kraken have been unleashed! Putting the Avs to shame, who woulda thought???

No kidding. Don't put me in that group, I would not have predicted it!

Hope the Kraken keep it up, but definitely looking for the Avs to get some folks back and getting after the league in an angry purposed way

My Grandpa got to see the other side of this in Normandy!



Edit: I believe @Mikeoso mentioned fires from the USS New Jersey while he was in country as well.

True. I thought the Arclights raised some hell, until I heard these things working out.

It was starting to get fun in there until someone just dropped a "My Dad just died, stop crying" post...
