    Cut the front fender flare. It was rubbing. Easiest way to do is with a box cutter. The rubber is very soft. Just need 6 or 7 run of the blade to cut through. The front still rubs a little but it make almost no noise so I let it rub. Next up is install some of those stick on ezlip fender flares......I dont like the fat oem style......o the hardest part is not cutting. It's those snap on fokers underneath. If u have an oem running board it make it super hard to take them out. I broke 1 and I did not put them back

    What size tires? What’s your offset on your wheels?

    My +25 SCS wheels with 275/70/18 tires rub. The crazy part is when I had a spacer lift they didn't rub, but when I switched it out to my lifted Toytec coilovers (3 inches of lift) with the SPC adjustable UCA they now rub on just one side.

    If it's a Toyota filter, no. The OEM filter literally says "Up" next to the arrow. But some aftermarket might indicate air flow direction, so pointing down could be correct.

    Well that's just confusing as hell. Why have an arrow pointing up with "UP" next to it, but the aftermarket arrow pointing down for airflow. You'd thing the OE arrow would be indicating air flow as well.

    What degree of caster are you running. I bet with an alignment you could fix that rubbing.

    Looks like it’s touching the bumper? Coachbuilder makes and sells bumper shims that go between the bumper and the mounting location to get you some additional clearance. Or do what a lot of us do and get an aftermarket bumper.

    8 5/8-11 nuts from your local hardware store will do the same for a fraction of the cost as well. Or a heat gun to mold the fender liners

    I run a 2" spacer in the rear just like anything should be checked and maintained.

    I had one done after I installed the Toytecs. I'll have to find the spec sheet, but I remember putting the SPC UCA to the "D" position in the instruction guide which is supposed to produce +1 degree of caster

    Installed a replacement tailgate today. I was hoping to debage it but they stuck the emblems on then sprayed it with bedliner. There goes that idea!

    The direction of the arrow on the filter should match the direction of the arrow on the cabin filter box cover; then you know you're doing it right...

    Put the Full Size (5th wheel) spare on. 295/70r18's "fit" with some banging on the metal guides. Here's to hoping the wheel doesn't get too messed up being tucked up in there.

    I was tempted to take the angle grinder in there and have a field day with it, but they help keep the tire away from the exhaust. #shrug We'll see if I need to check it out again in the future.
