Could try a little more caster?

6° isn't horrible
Not at all, but every rig is different. I don't believe in a magic number for all rigs, especially crawlers. Which is why I said try, I assume he has adjustable upper link/s, so it should be extremely easy to dial a few more degrees in.
Also, are you setting toe with the tires off the ground to eliminate sidewall deflection? The way Wilson showed me, eliminates any variables.
Axle on Jack stands
Put a piece of tape or paint pen mark on each tire
Measure front, roll tire 180* and measure again.
Maybe everyone knows that, but it was new to me a few years ago.
Never done it that way... just ASSumed that with street pressure there was no deflection half way up the tire. I will drive back and forth 20' or so a few times to get everything sitting straight
Good to know, it was at 40 from the tire shop and I went to 32 when i aired back up over the weekend.What are you running for street pressure? On my wifes JKUR the Coopers seem to drive and wear best at 28psi front and 26psi rear with 9" wide beadlocks.

I drove it 100 miles into work today and the shitty steering wheel wobble seemed to get progressively worse on the way in. I meed to give everything a once over anyway before i drive home
Thats kinda what i was thinking... that it has to be damping some. I just did a quick bolt check on the steering, box, and trac bar. Everything seems tight. Now that i think about it ive never checked the links for tightness or to see that the holes in the brackets arnt all wallowed outI wonder if you would get instant death wobble if you removed the assist cylinder. Me thinks the steering cylinder may be masking a bigger problem.
Death wobble from too much castor is pretty rare, I ran 12* on my 4runner with good luck.
Like you said, check the toe, maybe rotate the tires for shits and giggles. Unlikely, but maybe one is off balance or a lemon.
You run beadlocks or the steel wheels that were on it?
How are you liking the Coopers so far?
Settle down there Stay Puff... no need to run OTR pressure in 'em.28psi in the fronts, 26 in the rears is what I run.
Fuck you man I got kids to feedI love my Coopers, it just sucks the price went up so much...
That was a fun time, thanks for the invite! If you're looking for a hi-res version of that pic, you can find it here:Got out yesterday for a mild morning wheeling session with friends and family. Harry Johnson got this pretty cool pic
Well ive offically taken part in more circle jerks and butt seks then i could handle... so the jeep has officially been handed off to @jeff555
Eyeing a new project?
Thanks for the Jeep! I’m gonna put stickies and beadlocks on it and not worry about the resale value.Honestly the jeep was great, but knowing i wasnt keeping it long term I was always scared id break or smash something that would substantially hurt its resale.
Gotta just button up a few loose ends on my samurai and get a 3rd seat in it. I enjoy wheeling that 100x more and eventually my bronco should show up for the more mild family trips.

she probably has one in the oven. 2BB is filling CA With conservatives, by himself if need be!3rd seat? You planning on leaving the wife at home?
Thats exactly my plan. After cartwheeling a samurai in spectacular fashon with her in it 14 years ago she still has no desire to wheel again. I was hoping that would change with a comfy jeep but it didnt.3rd seat? You planning on leaving the wife at home?
Time for updates with pics, progress, and plans Jeff.Thanks for the Jeep! I’m gonna put stickies and beadlocks on it and not worry about the resale value.
