As someone who isn't familiar with steering racks, a couple of questions:
a) Would you recommend this upgrade for normal off-road usage?
b) Do you have a part number / link?
c) Would this void warranty / can I ask the dealer to install / upgrade?
Thanks for the nice write-up. Component...
@Alifu don't beat yourself up too bad. The whole wheel / tire / offset math / tribal knowledge can be a bit daunting at first. Luckily, you've got a great community of enthusiasts to help! :-D
Explanation for the holes in the cover-plate / compartment..
Behind the spare tire are "air escape flaps", so when you close the door, there isn't additional air pressure in the cabin.
Removing the holes here would mess with that.
