Unless I'm mistaken, I'm pretty sure they're all bent like that specifically to clear the spare tire. I don't think the spare banging around would have put such an even bend in it, anyway.


THIS. Bent from factory on some vehicles. IIRC, all of the Gen2 4Runners w/ the 31" tire package were bent around the tire. Can't recall my 1st gen pickup or 4Runner(s).
