What Jerry didn't mention is, if you are not mowing over curbs, then the
toe-in can go forever without any consideration at all. Your 2000 should not
need any alignment services if you haven't altered the suspension or slammed
any curbs.

Re: Front End Alignment
Camber angle is not adjustable on your YJ, so far as I know at least,
and your Caster angle can only be adjusted by inserting a wedge between
the spring and axle. So I'd have to guess that for all intents and
purposes, your YJ's toe-in is probably the only thing that is easily
adjustable. Certainly few alignment shops would insert a wedge to
adjust your Caster angle. Besides, it's usually only the toe-in that
actually needs adjusting after a lift has been installed or the front
has run into something or been damaged while offroading. :)
