Picked up a set of those interior mats for all the holes and compartments did not think I would be as excited for them as I thought they keep so much stuff out of those holes and corners

while I feel Mutant's pain with his issue, it is very much a 'one-off' with Dobinsons.
I have purchased from them several times and everything they have given me has been exactly what it should have been and done what they said it would.
Everyone will have an issue at one point but Dobinson's has FAR more good than bad.
You'll enjoy their suspension. its good stuff
Yeah my anti dobs campaign is over. I recognize my gravitational pull for terrible luck.
That's a great pic of your truck tho.
Clean it up with some "simple Green" then hose it off . drive it and check for leaks.

Popped her snow cherry by driving up to Banner Elk / Sugar Mountain for a weekend of skiing.
Never seen my 4R so dirty, kids getting in and out with snow boots, eating in the truck on the road trip. My 9yo poked his straw through the bottom of his full Chick Fil A Sprite. Shit was spraying all over, he was holding it out the window but it had already filled the rear seat cup holder. FML
The bright side is that it snowed all night, high of 28, and a really nice end of season weekend on the bunny slopes.

Saw this beast while we were renting skis. Not sure if he’s on the forums or not but he probably should be!

Update
New rolling stock installed today. Off with the 20" Limited wheels. Installed set of Black Rhino Sierra wheels, 17"x9", and fresh BFG KO2 tires, 275/70/17.
No rubbing whatsoever with my Cornfed 1" front spacer.
So far, have tinted the front glass to match the rest, installed TRD splash guards (primary a rain/snow rig, won't see heavy offroading), the Cornfed spacer as mentioned above, and wheel/tire swap out. Really loving this 4R. I had a 2005 TRD Tacoma that i eventually sold, and enjoyed it, too. Hoping for a long & enjoyable ownership.

Although I don't think you will have any rubbing with that tire size regardless, driving down the street is not a good test for rubbing.
Tires typically rub under flex situations. Even a big lift doesn't matter when the tire is stuffed up inside the wheel well. That's how you test for rubbing

Agreed
Agree with you on that! Over my 30+ years of driving, I've had more vehicles than I'd like to admit, and lifted several, a couple were pretty extreme. I should have been clear to state "For me & the how I will use my 4R, rubbing shouldn't be a concern". My apologies if it seemed I were giving advice to all.
I did my research before the wheel purchase. My brother in law has been with Discount Tire Co in the stores for 10 years, and 15+ since at corporate, and my son works in the stores as well, so I felt pretty safe with the purchase. I had just a little concern going to a 17x9, but the backspacing worked well to 1) Prevent rubbing (street + light offroad use) and 2) Keep the wheels under the fender wells, both of which were my goals.

I ended up ordering a Kit from SPECTRA. The first CAI was a custom build one with a MAF adapter attachment. I checked everything and I was so confused that I thought I just broke my intake system. Turns out the new CAI fixed it. I guess the placement of my MAF was too close to the intake head. Thanks for the advice tho! I did end up looking at the PCV but that was after I put the new kit on.

Is that the frontrunner 3/4 rack? Also, what size awning did you go with. Looking at picking one of these up soon.

I would highly recommend getting powder coating from
https://route66mods.com/
They have a proprietary process that prevents chipping and the PC won’t fade like an oxide coating. I am switching over to the Victory rack. When the rack showed up I sent all the bolts for the rack and 20 more for a fairing extension and security bolts. With shipping back to me it was only $42.00. I got matte black.
I have bolts from them on my current Rhino rack, faux bead lock bolts, light hardware and brackets, etc, zero issues and no chipping after tightening down with a torque wrench.
