Caster looks to be within specs or close - 4.5 - 4.7 is preferred. Some may say a caster of ~+5 is even better - but keep in mind that the more caster you get, the worse your pinion angle will be - so, have to find a happy median. 4.5 - 4.7 is a happy median. Your toe seems off a little. Use Eddie's write up to check your toe - it should be toed in about 1/8" on the front (of the front tires) compared to the rear (of the front tires).

Thanks 
. I just sent the person an email to see if he/she still has it and if it'd be ok if you stopped by to check it out. Looks good from the pics posted. I'll let you know when I get a reply back with the address or a phone number.
Lean?

Yep. Project-JK write up - it's the Basic Do-it-yourself front end alignment. He shows you the poor man's way of checking the caster and toe, and setting the toe-in.
Speaking of which, this poor man needs to check the toe on my JK. It looks seriously toed-out for some reason

Got the call
Well it is now official. I received the call from HQ yesterday, my official report date to DC is 06/01/2011.
I can delay it slightly if the house doesn't sell that fast, but I have to list it with a realtor for at least 75 days before they will start the home buyout process. I may try and push it to the middle of June, since my daughter and wife's schools both end the last week of May.
So I am definitely selling the Jeep to my buddy in Wagoner next week.
With the cost of housing and everything else, I don't want a car payment while I'm in DC. But on a much less sad note, if anyone knows of an older model Jeep, say 1996-2002, that I can pick up for around 7-10K let me know. 
I was just really getting to know some of you guys and now it's time to leave. Maybe I can still make it to a few mod parties and BWW before the transfer.

Well, that does suck, I was just getting to know you. But, you did mention this was something you were looking for, so that's a good thing
I am sure we will get a chance to meet up a few more times before you move.

I don't blame you on not wanting a payment especially the cost of living difference. Hopefully we can all get together before you leave 
It was great meeting and getting to know you .
