ICON 2.5

Fronts need repair...removing till fronts are fixed

 

ooooooooooooooooo

I likee...if these arent gone by mid october, I may have to get them!

 

is Icon know for leakage? I noticed that on my Icon 2.5 on my taco.

 

willing to split? Interested in the rears.

 

Interested in the fronts!

 

@Me. Projekt rear shocks

 

how much for just the rears?

 

I also wish I would have seen this deal earlier... I just paid $750 for just the fronts

 

Yes they are. Everyone I know with them other than one person has had to rebuild them extremely early (within 20k miles). The seals were bad in some and one even had out of spec shafts and had to have the shafts replaced. One guy even had to send his back to Icon before he even installed them due to the resi hoses being loose out of the box. Seems within the last few years Icon has started using cheaper parts for more profits. It's sad but it's what big companies do. Greedy.

 

Off topic, my bad. Crazy that people still buy these if they are known to fail within 20K miles and the cost to rebuild is $100 each time.

 

It's hit or miss. There's people that have them and they're super reliable and they love them. I was just speaking from experience of what I've seen from people I wheel with. The shocks still perform great when they're in tip top shape.

 

Luckily Icon has great customer service and offered to cover the cost of one shock. Even after warranty expired. I would keep them and reinstall but I cannot have my truck out of service for a week. I installed OME. If I have to I will keep these as backup or switch back to Icon and keep OME as backup.

 

if it's my truck, that's what I'd do. Get them rebuilt and put that OME setup on ice til next time...

 

I'm interested in the fronts only...

 

pmed @Triumphdog for all

 

this.


@Triumphdog are you interested in selling the fronts to him and the rears to me???

EDIT: I saw you added that youre not interested in splitting up....

but I have Paypal ready to go for the rears (can send money today) but I need to pull the trigger on some shocks soon....

 

Yeah let me know the price I have money ready too...

 

he actually has the price posted "if he splits it up"

he could totally have both of these sold today if he wanted to split it up

 

I hear ya. I tried to get my hands on the rears too. (hehe) But he told me he didn't want to split them.

 

I'd take those rears for 180 in a second though.
