Swirl, your method your using 3 reference points correct? one point at the sidewall of the rear tires and the two points on the front tires sidewall?
Yes. Some guys do 1/16" toe in for tires up to 30 and 1/8 for anything bigger. I thing your splitting hairs at that point. Both methods will work just fine.

Just did the seafoam treatment. The jeep has 245K on it and holy hell was it a good smoke show. Idle rpms have lowered, throttle seems smoother. Going to do the oil change tomorrow since who knows when it last had one.

You'd think someone might hear a sawzall in the middle of the day. Guess its like car alarms, nobody comes running for those either.

Aux lights were pointless this morning. TO MUCH FOG. It was like trying to find my way back to bed, after using the bathroom in the middle of the night.

took my rear bumper off to install my tow hitch and a zj v8 gas tank skid plate. well i held then skid up the holes lined up but there was a 10-12" gap between the bottom of the tank and the skid. so it didnt go on. i figure with some cutting and rewelding of the skid it will fit. but i got the hitch on then put my bumper back on. i now have rear tow points for wheeling and for hauling stuff. but mostly for wheeling.

ZJ gas skid fits 97+ if you cut off the short diagonal lip. I don't know about pre-97.
