    I took it out this weekend and the only place it rubbed was in the rear where the bed is close to the tire. Other than that it was awaesme!
    These are 35x10s on 15x8 with 3.75 back spacing. Its just a toytec 3 inch spacer lift and it honestly barely rubs. It rubs more on the back of the bed than in the front. It already had the bumper and fenders trimmed for 33s on 12 inch wide sheels. All i did was some sawzaw and hammer work to the inside of the fenders. I took it out this weekend on a decent run and it did awesome. My 33s rubbed more than these do and they are a true 35.

    Spacer lift is limiting your uptravel in the front. Probably why you're not rubbing to much.

    This combined with the increased BS and narrow tires for sure.

    So I have a a couple items running to my battery:

    Bumper driving lights
    Light Bar
    Planning on adding some ditch lights to the rack

    Currently I have been using the provided wiring harnesses which has left a bit of extra cable length in the engine bay.

    Considering I am only running 3 switches at most, it doesn't really make sense to buy a fusebox . How have you all cleaned up your rats nest of cables?

    A fuse panel is of course the best way to clean up your wiring. The next best thing you can do is cut all your cables to length, so this could mean cutting those looms short and putting new end connectors on. There is no need for extra wire hanging around in the bay. The next thing you can do if you want to clean up smaller wires is run them all in a split loom, one semi big loom going through the bay is much better than a spaghetti of a bunch of wires. And lastly, getting military style terminals are nice for getting some extra connection points on that positive terminal. here's my bay after the big three upgrade and I actually have 2 aux panels, but you get the idea.

    Pretty easy to remove it really. It's the condenser on the inside that sucks
