I ordered this handy new alignment tool from Steer Smarts...And I am also going to give their .5 degrees total toe out a try on my newly modded suspension/steering setup.

always loved the really early (~1970) CJ5 Renegades... decided to try to incorporate a bit of that vibe : KC's, the Pixelhut retro hood tape stripes, even found some old "Dauntless V6" badges... 33's and Rubi suspension are coming shortly, though I'm still torn on wheels : I dig the simple, slightly retro look of the JL Sport's stock black steelies, but Quadratec's "Retro Alloy" wagon wheels (especially in black) are super appealing. That said, that could be bumper/winch money.

Love this retro theme you got going on. It’s going to look even better with the Rubi suspension and 33’s. The quadratec retro wheels look great also but you could just keep the stockers and throw some spacers on there. Looks great man.

Not all done today, but a continuation from this weekend:
Took apart the grill the begin the process of painting it. Just primer on the trim for now, eventually will be Sting Gray trim with black grill.
Installed headlight guards while the grill was off.
Put a coat of Plastidip on the badges.
Added a decal to answer my wife when she asks why I'm looking at Jeep parts again ;)

Like many before me, I have finally taken the doors off for the first time, which once again made me say “in spite of having had better vehicles through the years, this is THE BEST AND MOST FUN”

Did they say why they recommend toe “out” my understanding is on a RWD vehicle the toe should be “in” just slightly.

Traded out the factory Rubicon decal for a @pixeldecals uni-color reflective white. Had to get rid of the red trimmed Rubicon decal. As I am a Colorado Buffalo fan, and red capital “N’s” remind me of Nebraska.

Below is an email reply to a question on toe settings, based on my JLR. (Steer Smarts Rubicon tie rod and bottom mount drag link, adjustable track bars and running 35's on stock Rubi wheels with 1.25" spacers) I know of at least a couple of shops who have set up customers JL's with toe-out and they say it has worked out great.
