Would the +1 SAI angle make much difference? I imagine the "stanced" BMWs running around are way more than that. Do they wander all over the road?

I've done a lot of alignments with the angle iron and tape measure method for toe, But I'm always curious what the caster is and what the toe is in degrees. A friend recommended this...
I'm also always curious where the rear wheels are pointing on these old rigs after much abuse, so having a four-wheel alignment would be interesting, just a data point to consider and maybe try to rectify if out.
Maybe worth a try

They have the vehicle as a 1990 4Runner and the SAI specs are for the 4Runner, not an 80 sieres.
80 Series SAI should be 13° ±0.75°
The numbers shown are close enough to spec.
Still not enough toe-in is what I would guess.
Take it back and have them put more toe in.

If it hasn't been mentioned/thought of yet, too much scrub radius will cause goofy stuff to happen similar to what's being described here. How close to 0mm offset are the wheels, or are they factory wheels?

That could very well be your problem. Do you have a set of factory wheels you can throw on to try out?

Like stated previously those are not the specs for a LC80. I as I recall Caster range is 2 to 4 degrees. The other problem is that caster is not an adjustment that is made during an alignment. Correction bushings, plates, arms and cut and turn of the bell would be required. The variance between before and after indicates the tech is not taking consistent readings.
