I have a screw adjust on my spirit level (home made) and can set at any required angle - simple Trig calcs. The heater may be frozen cables.
Shame on you :-)
Great that you are enjoying the beast.

Thanks for the friendly jab! Just lazy is all. You're right, probably too much negative camber on the right rear, thereby wearing the inner edge of the tire. Have never messed with alignment, kind of scares me I guess, and not sure I follow your directions. Sounds simple but will need to do some research. Tires aren't cheap nor readily available in these stock sizes so I should get off my lazy ass and dig in to it.
The heater is secondary. I suspect frozen cables most likely; the boxes themselves seem free to move.
