Tires replaced and tail pipe rubbing. Easy fix

[Zephyr]

I thought I would share an issue that we noticed after swapping out stock tires for some 245/75R16 mud tires which are not much larger. The tail pipe was rubbing on tire. I didn't notice it, but it was probably too close even on the stock tires. We loosened U-Clamp and pushed the tailpipe inward and re-tightened U-clamp. Problem fixed. Just wanted to post this you can look for same issue on yours whether it has stock or different tires on it.

Thanks for pointing this out. Mine was really close also. Wasn't touching but it was CLOSE. A quick adjustment dialed it in.

Good info! I was thinking about getting the same size tires. Do you have any other pics with those tires on your rig?

Tires are performing great with this size. Still thinking about reverse shackle for a little more clearance. Turning radias sux.
