On LEVEL ground. I am not sure if the quad should be weighted with rider weight or not. someone else should chime in on that

I get someone my weight to sit on the quad.

You would probably want to set the toe in relation to how the quad is when you're riding it. A car isn't aligned with it's front wheel dangling in the air.

i always just step on front bumper to push front end down a little bit.
then get the tape measure out, and measure from center of tire, you want the
front tires to be in just a little bit, sounds bad and will wear out tires, but it
will handle better.

I was tying a piece of straight wood to the outsides of either tire and measuring from inside to inside on both in front of the tire and behind and going for a total toe in of a 1/8 to a 1/4 . also to ensure they were done evenly i hooked my tape on the end of my tie rod end to my locking nut that was snugged up and adjusting to get the same measurement on both sides. I was not sure weather or not to do it on a jack or on the ground so from the info i gathered from you gents is to do it on the ground with equal weight on the machine as my self ! thanks for the help guys .
