Hello folks, I have a 2001 Surf SSR-G, 2.7L 4WD which is a replica of the SR5 Limited, except for the motor and tailgate mounted spare wheel on the Surf. The undercarriage on both trucks is the same ( I have a 4runner manual and everything matches) however I cant seem to get the correct wheel alignment done. The dealer recently aligned it and the camber is off coz the outside of the wheel is wearing faster than the inside edge. They swear the specs are correct. Here are the specs they used :
camber -0.83 to -0.08
caster 2.08 to 2.83
toe 0.02 to 0.12

If anyone has recently had an alignment done, sould you please let me know if these numbers jive?
Also, pls let me know if the underhood data plate in your 3rd gen matches mine:
model: GF-RZN185W-GAPGK
frame: RZN185-9039054
Thanks.

I see this thread is a few weeks old and you probably have resolved your alignment issues, but I checked my fsm and noticed that the specs you listed are different.
According to the 2000 4Runner FSM

Camber = -0.25° ±0.75°
Caster = 3.06° ±0.75°
Steering axis inclination = 11.00° ±0.75°
Toe-in = 0.2° ±0.2°

My model is a VZN185L-GKPGKA
