Does everyone just stick to the factory settings even with a lift, etc?

To be honest, what with the nobbly tyres, the damage the wheels/tyres get offroad, why even consider bothering with Wheel Alignment ... as ever time i go Green Laning, it would waste that money!!
Of course, if you dont use your Jimny in the 'mud' then do get them re-aligned ??

I wouldnt bother doin wheel alingment if it wasnt for free at work.
You can just take steering wheel off and move it but it might not be perfect
And dont damage the contact reel.

Jimny looks nice
Most tyre places look bemused if i took the Jimny in for tracking - had to find some one who'd do it - but as Maverick says as soon as you do some serious offroading it goes out again
if it drives in a straight line with out pulling to one side - dont bother if you intend to offroad it

To get the steering wheel straight its better not to take the steering wheel off, but to lengthen the rod that goes from the steering box down to the hub. It has a locknut at each end and the threads are lh and rh so by turning the rod you can alter its length until the wheel is centred. It takes a little while as you need to keep moving the car backwards and forwards to keep the wheels straight ahead. Not difficult to do.
