Alignment
I'm going to have my rig aligned tomorrow and I would like everyones input about Firestone Mastercare Service. Are they good? They have a promotion on lifetime alignment for 120 bux. Normally, they charge 49.99 for an alignment.
By the way, this is after I put on my TJM bumper. Thanks a lot.

I have always had great luck with Firestone doing my alignments. I think they have always done a better job than the dealer. After I got my SAWs, I was going to have Firestone do it but when my steering rack issue came up, an alignment was included as part of the steering rack replacement which was done by the dealer. I will have Firestone do my next one.

I recently had Firestone align my rig after the suspension installation and was happy with it. I was paying $59 at Tire Factory.
The lifetime program seemed to make sense and the alignment didn't seem to have any probs. They said I could bring it in as often as I want for a free alignment. Because of some of the roads I drive on, that may be often.

Alignment,
I though we are supposed to do the alignment once a problem such as uneven tire wears, pulling to the left/right... is it true of we are supposed to do periodic alignment?
Thanks,
Nam

Hey Nam, yes you should do an alignment periodically, say once or twice a year depending on how you drive and where. The reason is that you don't want to wait until wear is obvious because it may never be correctable at least with that particular set of tires. Been there, done that
BTW: Welcome to the board!

I would stay away from the lifetime alignment scam. The reason is that you will get a good alignment the first time, then after that who knows. When you go back, the mechanic is working for free. He has no incentive to go out of his way to make sure your truck is properly aligned. You would be better off paying for the service each time.

Just my .02 cents.

Did you get put additional support when you mounted your winch to your bumper? Can you post a close-up pic of your install? Thanks.

For a while, I was surprised to see the T15 from TJM's Australian website has a winch mounted lower than where mine's going to be mounted. Also, underneath were 4 holes on mine whereas there are 5 on the website's pic. Did TJM redesigned the T15's?
