I'll preface this by saying if you're doing 35's & below you probably won't need to do this, but I'm not sure. I don't think it'll hurt to do either way. After a little bit of trimming I was able to fit some 37x12.5R17 +25s on my 2025 TRD Pro 4GT. The only place I was rubbing at full lock during on-road driving was on the driver-side wheel well. After a quick inspection, I realized I was rubbing on that bracket.
I looked around, and the only person I saw who had relocated it was Talon Sei on YouTube. He didn’t really give a how-to—he only showed the after. I decided to give you guys a quick walkthrough of what I did to relocate it. I’m sure there may be better ways to do this, but this is how I did it.
First, you’re going to want to remove the three 12mm bolts that hold the bracket up. Two of them hold the front plate up, and the third holds the plate to the frame.
Once removed, go ahead and undo the grey and black harness. The black harness will only be attached by a clip where the blue line is in the photo above. Go ahead and just pop it out.
Next, you will pop out the clip that’s at the very back of your wheel well.
Keep tracing the wiring until there are one or two more clips to undo. I believe it’s two.
Now you will have enough of the wiring free to move it behind the cab mount and over the frame.
The wiring will be encased in a plastic cover. I was able to get it over the frame and place it where I wanted it, but it caused the end of the wiring to sit at a crazy angle, and it looked like it was putting a lot of stress on the wires. I opted to remove the plastic and wrap the entire section in electrical tape.
Once I taped up the wires shown above, I ran the full length of them over the area shown below. It's easiest to get it through right in front of the bolt sticking down and then run it forward along the cab.
Once that was complete, I just reattached the two main harnesses and zip-tied them down. It’s pretty easy to relocate. The plastic bracket covering the harness on the body is kind of a pain to undo—I ended up just breaking it off. I’m sure if you had more patience, you could find a better way to keep it functional, but I don’t think it’ll be needed.
