Chinglish warning label on my fourpost lift
We had discussed meeting at my cabin prior to a drive over the Beartooth Pass. Cabin is 1.6 miles south of Rock Creek Resort on the 400 Ranch. Plenty of room for cars, smaller campers and tents. It does have indoor plumbing and running water, not much more. There is also a field nearby with room for car trailers.
I adjusted toe on my TR4 the other day using the string method. The trick is to get the string, in this case fishing line, parallel. Very simple process, just a bit time consuming to get the strings right. My car has a solid rear axle but this method should work on IRS cars also.
If you would like to try it, bring your car over and use my shop and tools. I accept donations of homemade and micro brew beer. I have growlers available for loan.
