Finally got my alignment right. Everyone sets the caster to lower 4s,,,, 4.10ish. I told them to just goto 5 so they did.
Steering feels more relaxed vs as sensitive as a dem when trump does something decent. I dont feel like im bouncing all over the toad anymore. Didnt really have a pull, wheel just fought me to stay straight.
All good now. And now I have lifetime alignments WITH specs I like, for know.

Yeah, technically we can definitely make a purple LED happen! And if enough people are interested, we'd be happy to make it a reality.

I'm with you!
Mopar say 4.5° caster, but Alignment Software says ~4.8-5.2°.
I'm at 4.7L/5.0R currently, but am planning to have technician bump it to ~5.0L/5.2R when I have mine realign in a few weeks.
More caster gives tighter on center feel and quicker back to on center steering

Same here...TON of snow, so LOTS of fun!!
I'll add..my 285/60R20 Bridgestone Dueler AT Ascents are total ROCK STARS in the deep snow, couldn't be happier with them!!

Slow progress! I got new stuff going on instead of old stuff coming off.

To me it just feels less like I have to micromanage the steering if that makes sense.I'm with you!

It started here. Had to get some ice melt on my ski slope of a driveway.

Yep. It stays on center so much better with more caster.
To me, it makes the steering feel tight & "stiff" on center, and less wonder..kinda like "Track" Mode programming for steering on my wife's Durango 392 vs "Street" Mode feeling (loose & light) when you have lower caster on a Ram..if that makes sense also.

And a guard rail on the right side.
A Bulldog and a Diff
Any diff experts here?The one thing that bothered me when I bought this truck was the diff cover removed. Why was it ever off and why did they just goop it up?
The 2nd picture with the red circle looks to be some sludge and possibly a magnet. I would consider that about normal from experience but its been some time since I've done one.

Went campin'
also took it easy because it was the Montero's first time wheelin'
there are two starlinks in this picture. try to find them.
Steaks at midnight because we got there late.
Guy just casually drove up the red one's rear tires like it's nothing. seeing these crawlers tackle KOH's Back Door was fun. Seeing how they pivot around with locking the rear and front wheel drive to turn was eye-opening.
Yes, that's rear wheel steering on both of them. Now I want this...

hahahahhaa yes there's one!
I guess its possible. I've read the build sheet and isn't the most accurate document I've seen or I don't know how to read it which are both possible
