toe in is where the front of the tires are pointed in toe out is of course out
caster an camber are tilt

caster is the top ball joint not lined up front to rear
camber is ball joints not lined up side to side

your front is showing 'negative' camber the upper part of the tire is pointed inward this will make for greater steering effort an wear on the tires

 

I love gardening too. I got into it when I lived in The Netherlands. I don't have a nice garden yet though, it's hard up here with the season so short. Lot's of sun if you start early enough. We just got some snow again today so can't plant anything yet.

The truck and mom look good. You'll get the camber sorted quick I bet.

 

Thanks much guys! I even did a full wrote up on alignment after a full ifs suspension resto. ..... I just couldn't compute/recall any of it cuz I'm just on TMI and duties - overload! Hahaha........

I will get on to that as soon as possible. I noticed right away when test driving it that the steering was definitely firmer. This also remind me that I need to get the new hard lines to the steering gear and pump replaced . They are definitely compromised... Well at least one of them is. Its cracking and such on the rubber portions between the hard ends. Grrrr.

 

I wanted to share some of the gardening and botanical stuffs that I maintain, because I know some of my buddies on here are craving full blown Spring pretty bad...

I'll pay up those pix on here in a bit.

 

Bring on the flowers!

Seriously, snow on April 25th.... They at least closed the ice road near town now.

 

 

Very nice blooms... I like your Bird of Paradise and are those Pomegranates I see? or are they Guavas?

Hope you were on the "right side" of the road when they closed the ice smokey... would'nt want to see you have to abandon your truck til next winter.

 

2 types of peaches, 2 types pears and crabapples......BUT, did take a pic of the pom tree which is blooming with bright red flowers up higher.

 

much awesome flowers
my grape hyacinth are coming up everywhere (places i didnt plant it too LOL)

 

It wouldn't last a week before someone found it and set it on fire. Even way out in the bush.

I've heard of remote cabins float or ski-plane access only being found and trashed up here.


Chef, love roses. When I move back to Oz I want citrus and fig trees.

Some grape vines for summer shade would be nice too.

 

That's why the best remote area cabins are re-enforced concrete underground with no windows and heavy steel blast doors... or the same above ground with only slit windows and heavy bullet proof glass with steel shutters.
Not very friendly looking I'll admit but at least you know the worst that would happen would be some graffiti...

 

Glad to see mom is doing better and at home. That has to be a big relief and then being able to get out and enjoy an early birthday.

You do have a green thumb and your pictures look like a pro did them. We dont have the great weather you have so we have started our garden inside and waiting for the frost to get out of here so we can plant them outside. Home grown things are the best.

 

Glad to hear your mom is doing better! Good job taking care of her, keep up all the great work.

 

Hey guys, thanks so much for the kind words/props and prayers and well wishing..... She had a kinda rough day today. But she walked really far, couldnt believe it.... Just really kinda slowed down and slepy again. She does likely have sleep apnea and has overactive bladder, so its rare she gets to sleep through the night. ...... tough getting old inpoor health, ya know?

 

Lil update/query:

After adjusting my t-bars to equal give or take 1/8".... I felt like my pass side rear was higher.... it's almost 3/4" higher on the pass side rear on the OMEmu springs. They seem to be exactly the same, no extra leafs on one (after the bs I've been through, I try to check this stuff! Lol).

Stock shackles with all new bushings, torqued to specs!... just dont get it. Ima drive it around with a load and check more but I have to first align it again. Gonna check that tomorrow with richard in the garage on flat ground. Garage might be slightly angled, but not enough to do this. But, I also haven't checked since I tweet the T bars again until equal... At first I had the passenger side one a bit higher. I haven't driven around again since I just in them until equal height. I'll update you but I was just wondering how normal is for abnormal I should say, to have 1 of 2 leaf packs settling slower? Like I said I did everything to specs on torque, so I really don't suspect that, but I did reuse my original shackles because of the day star shenanigans. I just don't know

 

Well,.... I remeasured since equaling out the tbars.... Looks like the leaf packs are arround dead even at 14.25" from top of rim to top of wheel well.... Fhew! Lol

 

maybe you had the leans... don't laugh that is an actual term for an inner ear imbalance condition [usually temp.]

 

Glad you have your spring situation settled with. Now I just gotta figure mine out lol.

 

Pass side will alway change on height due to gas tank. Your fuel level Always changes

 

Hahaa, Paul, you often crack me up! .... Dont want the leans nor Vertigo! Haha....

Thanks Rich....

Thanks toyo.... Should be around 120# on full tank, or so... Never seen these leaf packs dropping yet with even 500# back there.... but to the eye and measured? Sure nuff, that can alter things, all one sided and such.
