Alabama thread!

Never said there was anything wrong with it. I'm a good teacher.

 

I feel ya. Im thinking amber led bulbs for the fogs from piaa blah blah.


But yeah your room does need a bigger tv.

 

you talkin bout these that cost $90 and ride the same as icons?

 

I posted on my TW secret santa wishlist that I want that BAMF relocate lol. the DIY is less than 100$ so and I spent 100$ on SS last year so not unreasonable lol.

 

Ride the same for the shit we do anyway lol.

 

true. if we were desert racing i could see how compression adjusters would be useful. no rebound? fine. larger oil volume? good. show me when a tacoma shock has failed due to heat. not saying it hasnt happened, i just want to see it.

the only thing i ever got out of reservoirs was oil leaks and a pain in the ass and wallet

just my personal experience

 

cuz icons





lol I actually don't even know what you had before I just like picking at leaky icons.

 

Well I think thats slightly oversimplified but while it may not completely fail, the shock will inevitably wear it' components faster as well as the fluid "wearing" much quicker and the shock will lose its effectiveness sooner. Also the rr shocks can be rebuilt.

 

its actually not icons fault. i had southern offroad put on my leafs and shocks. the retards didnt read the directions that had a warning on the first page that said "you have to create clearance" because the stems on the hose contacts the shock mounts.

icon actually redacted their instructions and corrected them when they found out about the issue.

i called and talked to a girl at icon and told her my instructions didnt have the correction and she wasnt having any of it lol. she wanted proof which i couldnt provide because the guys at southern offroad in alabaster threw them out as soon as they saw them.

truth be told, i dont know which directions i had. but you have to try. the front shock leaked completely due to me being a dumbass. i put them on with factory whhels and completely forgot to check clearance. i got to the bottom of my driveway and heard a noise lol. i pulled back in the garage and it was leaking oil from one of the nuts where the tire pushed the hose over.

so in reality i cant fault icon at all. ive had 3/4 leaky shocks but they were all user error.

now if you want to talk about internal design im all ears. i also think the size of a company is a factor. because for example icon quit doing rebuilds right when i needed one. i sent it to a guy in tx and he did the best with quick turnaround, but i dont need my shock co going out of business while im still using them. but i dont know enough about that subject to comment.

i just felt like i needed to set the record straight with icon

tl:dr i will ramble if i want to

 

lol I'm just picking, I just remember reading some big thread about and the Icon reps on here were commenting on it (poorly iirc) and it was just humorous.

everybody always gives their argument as to what's "necessary" or what they think is best, I say just buy what you want lol. everyone has different experiences and reasons.

 

cheese and crackers man, that's not a deal. nor do I want curved.

 

Curved sucks.

 

i buy whatever is blue!

 

@BarberRider Dont remember if i asked this, did you ever fix the leaf pack rubbing on the gas tank issue?

 

you sir, are a genius.

 

Nah I ain’t got a compressor either lol

 

we got our tv at target on black Friday a few years ago. they had like 20 55" TV's for like $260 and then they had some 50" for like $240; they passed out tickets to the people in line for the 55" and a few people ahead of us got the last one, so we got the 50" but I haven't been disappointed. I would think next week all the black Friday sales should start getting plugged around

 

yeah that's what I'm waiting on. if I could get a 60" or larger in the 500$ range, but a good brand, I'd be stoked

 

I think ours in an element, its not a smart tv, but I bought a Roku online for $40 or so and basically turned it into a smart tv, it is LED (it was a year or two before 4k started to catch on so its just 1080 but again, it doesn't bother me)

 

I don't need the latest and greatest either. I run everything off of my PS4 so it doesn't have to be smart, but most are smart now. Also, most are LED which I do want. If I get a deal on 4k I'll go 4k.
