TMR DIY toe alignment tool review

[mbryson]

So this showed up quite some time ago. After the new BFG and the more streetable aspects of my trail Jeep I thought I should get this closer than previous sets of tires.




Kind of a simple product for $50+ but to save a couple $400+ tires, I’ll give it a shot.

fits many bolt patterns. My “Jeep” is 8 on 6.5” and it fit right up. I cinched down the lug nuts to my wheels studs and grabbed a measuring tape.

I’ve used a cut piece of 2x4 in the past to “set” toe. We’ll see how well it did.

Appears I should have used the plates in reverse to what I have them. Front measurements

rear measures

Cheating with two measuring tapes, I adjusted until I’m about 1/16” toe


My Rocklogic 4x4 hydro assist ram tabs are in a good spot. I’m going to tighten my jam nuts down and see what I have.

Now back to one tape.
Front measurement
Let’s call that 75 7/16…

rear measures

75 7/16 + a scalp (or whatever hair measurement you prefer) hair.

I think it’s time for a drive? (After I put the wheels/tires back on)

I must say this cool DeWalt thinger is perty sweet. I borrowed it from @ebryson

….more to come. Wife’s home, time for some breasts

Checking alignment on those too?

As often as possible but I’m a dirty old man

I picked up a DeWalt thinger a little while ago. It hasn't taken off every bolt or nut I've put it on, but it's come close.

And I do like not messing with an air hose.

My Red thinger has taken off every bolt I put it on. Just sayin.

There's a reason why I picked the color red for my truck... 😎

Cordless impacts are the best. I seriously regret not getting one WAY sooner.

The alignment tool is cool too. It's one of those things that we could all make ourselves but buying stuff is important too

Had one Toyota crank bolt that my red thinger wouldn't bust. My air impact was useless too though. Had to put a breaker against the frame and use the starter.

Nothing else has phased it yet.

I believe the proper term is a “blonde one”.
