I have been noticing that my front two tires are wearing more on the outside of the tread than anywhere else. This is an easy fix right? Wheel Alignment, no problem. However, on these 4x4 models with the solid front axle, it looks locked in and set at the factory. This has the axle, two ball joints and the steering hub assembly, there is no room for adjustment here so how does one align the wheels?

Too much toe in will cause wear on the outside of the tires. Toe and caster are really the only two alignment angles that can be adjusted on your Jeep. There are offset upper ball joints than be used for camber adjustment, but if those are needed, you have something bent for sure.
