Sleeping platform with below-the-deck storage

96 Grand Cherokee sleeping quarters with storage. Minimal storage depth retains headroom and swallows up a surprising amount of gear. Hinged headrest allows passenger side seat to be used... and then slid up to give 76" of sleeping space.

PF4X4 ORDS - Hand Winching with the JackMate
Caster needs to be done 1/4 degree increments . Camber needs to be in 5 minute increments 1/4 deg is 15 mins //// 1 deg =60minutes
I found pulling the motor was the easiest way
What kind of shock did you put in that doesn't have the bar pin in them? I have been looking for some shocks without the bar pins in them.
Fantastic video. So happy to see a simplified version to test camber and caster
Great idea with the bags.You are the first I have seen to do that. Thanks.
You mentioned frost -- on a warm summer day, an object transitioning from cold to warm will condensate, just like a bottle of Coke. Once everything is out back together, the moisture would be trapped in the hub cavity. Should I be concerned with extra moisture in/on/around the race?
I just use two pieces of cardboard
Learned something new. Thanks for posting this. It looks like the Jemez out there :)
I been doing it wrong since 2001!
Why not remove the wheel and the mud skirt first ? Way more room !
Great hack, thanks!
In your video it looks that caster affects toe.. the toe in, on my 97 t100 is maxed and too much negative caster might be the culprit. Thanks for explaining @2:00 min point
Me and my dad would adjust, then back out and oull back in and check again
Excellent video!
Calling an XJ a cream puff is adorable lol
Great video Thanks!
Great video. (but 64 ³/⁴ to 64 ¹⁵/¹⁶ is 3/16 NOT 1/16 difference)
One of the best explanations on how and why to measure caster angle. Thanks
This just made me make sure my AAA was renewed. Thank you. I was about to tow it to my mechanic 😩 thanks!!
I believe you didn't say when doing This is your frame should be level side by side before adjusting camber Casper.
3/4”=12/16. Did you mean 13/16” when you said a smidge past 3/4”?
Awesome video! I use sheet metal and grease/oil for turn tables
there has to be some kink of hack to not spill damn oil everywhere tho!
There is.... Loosen the oil filter a bit so it can be hand turned out, then slip a large plastic bag over it (something like a food storage bag that is thick and a bit rigid) then spin the filter with the bag so it falls into the bag along with all the dripping oil.
@partyman6666 I've been doing oil changes on my 1st gen Tacoma for years. It's angled so as as soon as you break the o ring seal it will leak all over.
You can use the angel finder in your smartphone also.
After watching tons of videos this is absolutely the most informative not only on how to measure caster effectively and why it is measured that way but also how to adjust it and how that affects things like camber. I was in the market for a Quick Trick Alignment Tool which I may still get just because I think it's a cool tool and could help but I just wanted to say thank you to such an informative video.
Best video out of dozens on the subject! Thank you!
Why multiply x 2? Another video said multiply x 1.5 This is confusing
Dude, you just saved me, a lot of work!
How is it to drive without sway bar mate?
Watched dozens of videos on alignments. By far, this was the most informative and practical video. Your explanation of how to estimate caster is superb!
great vid, but (possibly dumb) question: how can you make sure that the tires are pointing straight-ahead when doing the toe adjustment?
It will all self center when it's driven... but then you might need to straighten the steering wheel.
Not a dumb question, actually very important and should be considered the first step when doing toe adjustments. Steering wheel must be centred first. Depending on your car you could use the steering rack or pitman arm to ensure they are dead centre first.
Good Infarmation sir I am Pakistan💯💗
Very handy tip! Thanks! I was trying to figure out how to adjust strap length and your video was what I needed. However, when using a wide strap with large force, the loop end seems to be quite wide and using towels rolled up, I find it slips and strap works it’s way to the tree, any tricks to stop it from slipping with heavy weight?
Thanks. You'll need to increase the diameter of the "dog bone". Maybe find a tree limb or scrap 2x4 and wrap a towel around that. Get creative. When you've got it right, it locks in.
Thanks! I’ll give that a try
What a crock of shit, try putting your bs in an actual situation. You did nothing but talk. Your vehicle needed no adjustments please let's see you talk one that's screwed and get it back in order. Good luck
The title of the video is how to measure - nothing about adjustments
Could it also be done by jacking up the front end, tires off, with the jacks placed under the lower control arm to simulate load, while making sure vehicle is level? (Just looking to create more work space.)
when measuring the caster do you have your straight edge pium or to centre points of upper and lower ball joints?
Thanks for this, I learned a lot.
AWESOME THANKS!!
Beautiful truck man❤
Great video! Have you checked your measurements against a trusted alignment shop's measurements to test the accuracy? Hey, yours might be better actually. Lol.
Better to use digital angle finder. I found the Samsung phone is slightly off by about half a degree, and for phone measuring to 90 degrees it just can not quite get there, as in it is inaccurate and works better when measuring less angle. The analog round meter I have is also off by 1 degree, that is a very rough measurement tool. I calibrated the angle finder using a 4 foot spirit level set to dead perfect level. You want camber measurement to get as accurate as possible. Having the whole car level is extremely important. My choice for level tools is a spirit level or a digital angle finder well calibrated.
Great video! Your idea with the plastic bags and oil is absolutely ingenious!
Someone suggested to use two linolium floor tiles with a little grease sandwiched between, probably works same as plastic bags and oil, my concern is, i need my mercedes up on stack of 2x12s to get under it and my driveway is is not level. It may slide off the blocks. Any suggestions M L Rogers Pasadena,Tx
Is it neutral safety switch fuse ?
Excellent idea!!! You are a genius!!!
The problem, as I see it, is that you are changing the direction of pivot 90*.
9:45 64-3/4 and 64-15/16 is 3/16 difference...a bit much for me, but...
Cool. You are essentially making a marlin spike hitch. Love the MSH!
Can't find the relay on Forester year 2000.
My JK has the same issue, just ordered the same part, dumb question, did you have to Jack the Jeep up? Or can I do this without doing so
I didn;t have to jack mine.
