Early 90s Toy truck and 4runner alignment questions?

I have two questions:

I need to get my 01 4runner aligned. Is there any way to do it at home, or should I just take it in and get it done?

Im thinking about selling my fiance's 93 corolla and looking for an early 90s Toyota truck - any suggestions? My current thoughts are ext cab 4x4, and probably 4cyl, unless the 3.0 is better, but I have been searching/reading and it seems most people actually favor the 4cyl over the v6. Any particular years to stay away from, or to look specifically for? Thanks

You won't be able to get the required equipment, it is quite expensive even for a company... It requires fancy hydraulic lifts and stuff. Might as well just find a good shop.

I get lifetime alignments at firestone, you might look around for one of those. You can pay a one time fee of $130, and then after about 3 aligments it pays for itself, and the rest of the alinments are free!

Get it done someware by a SPECIALIST. I don't trust the guys at Midas or Wallmart. They can't compensate for non-stock tires.

It doesn't require any kind of hydraulic lifts. It requires a method for measuring the things on the spec sheet, caster, camber, steering axis inclination, thrust angle, dogtracking, and is the beer holder level. That equipment does cost a bit of money. The tools to actually adjust it are just wrenches like any of us own.

Alignments are cheap. Pay to have it done at a good shop.
