Took it in for an alignment check to satisfy my curiosity on what camber and caster was after all my changes.
Well it's 0 degrees camber and 3.5 caster now with delta6 and slee4+30mm.
Prior with a toughdog 3inch +30mm lift it was 5.5 caster with delta6 and toughdogs
Glad I opted for the 6inch delta arms not the 4s. Wouldn't be enough caster otherwise

Your castor looks really good. I’d say the camber is close enough considering the low end of spec is nearly zero.

With the spidertrax spacers it wasnt tucking in and hitting. So i took them off and bolted them straight on. They now tuck amd hit the back corner.
Need a little more trimming at the end of the wheeling season to fix the rub. For now I will bump it another half inch and wheel the piss out of it.

Part 2 for today.
Moved ARB fridge slide from Turbo80 to Crawler80. Bought a proper 75L+ Dometic slide for the Turbo80 and got installed. Finally getting rid of my temporary slide.
Installed a ceiling net for the Crawler80 and installed an extension gor Tcase shifter.
Need to make a bump stop extension for another day

I would rather have width rather than tuck personally. Mainly just because I always find myself in very off camber situations.
I had an extinguisher mounted in a quick fist in that same location for a few years until someone posted a story about how an extinguisher mounted there became a deadly projectile following a frontal impact of the vehicle. Now I have one of these mounted to the side of the shifter console beside my right leg in a tiny quick fist.

Over the weekend...
LED dashlights for 90% of the bulbs. Left some halogen since its not as blinding bright. D light works again.
Took out my Nitro Chromoly front amd rear and sold them. Using money toward RCV 300M. cut a snap ring into OEMs for now.
Learned how to use TIS techstream and updated calibration ID (firmware) for ecu and transmisaion update on a 2016 Tacoma getting a Magnuson SC. Didn't know that was possible for a nondealer account. Was pretty cool to learn how to program the truck and not brick it.

Of course. You're driving a cruiser so you got to have your shades on 100% of the time. You must have not read the owners manual. How else you going to see the cluster if it's dim with 30 year old bulbs!

So I skipped an important build process and did not do a test run at Hollister.
@baldilocks invited me to to Rubicon on a last minute Sat over night trip and I couldn't pass up a good wheeling trip. We met up for the first time and had a blast.
This 80 wheels way different than my old mini crawler. She did great except for a few times I slipped off a few rocks because it was very light snowing and raining. Had to winch out 3 times but overall in satisfied with its Rubicon performance as a family rock crawler.
Bent the crap out of my tie rod bar, hit my hydro ram and trail tailor lower links. Eimkeith rear link armor took a beating and held up like a champ. Armor did its job and held up. I put my very first dent on it myself and smashed rear pass qtr and tail light.
Need to repair my lower link, new tie rod bar, add under drive gears to the tcase and take out the 30mm spacers to go down to a 4inch lift. It 2 wheeled and 3 wheeled and got too tippy for my liking at 5in. Realllly glad I didn't go 6inch.
I got 1 month to get it fixed for Rubithon.
