SoCal Truck Spotting - Stalking for Some =P

The ol' tuck 'n squeeze college tuition strategy....classic

 

Said it before and I’ll say it again.

 

Yup, that's me

 

Accutune is legit. They sold and tuned my shocks. I asked about re-tuning some 2.0 rear Icons I got in a trade but I think they said they can't get shims from icon to re-tune. I'd imagine they can get other rebuild parts though. @GHOST SHIP PM @*TRD* for help, he's the owner.

 

Ya, re-tuning as in adjusting shim stacks. Icon keeps their stuff kind of proprietary, which sucks since it's not that great. My fox stuff rides tits after the AccuTune treatment.

 

I need to weigh my options. I’ll be adding weight this year but aside from that I know my shocks are limiting travel in the rear. I’ve debated going B110 because they give the travel I want at a fraction of the cost of what I’m running now. If I do that, I’ll be selling the icons before they’re in actual need of a rebuild.

I’m more anal about keeping everything matching (brand) than I am about the subtle nuances of how the ride feels. I don’t beat my truck but it is nice to not have to slow down for some obstacles on the street and off road.

 

I had my rear Fox revalved with more compression and a little less rebound. Made a huge difference with the overall feel and performance that includes towing the crawler or loaded up with my crap for the weekends.

 

I would like to mention I lowered the pressure in my front coil-overs down to 150psi from 200 psi when I added #700 springs. That also made a noticable difference.

 

Theres not a whole lot that can be done to make Icons plushy feeling like you can do with Fox, kings, ADS or Sway A Way

 

Try the heavier coils first to get a base of how it feels, then decide how to valve

 

Man I have my fox 2.5 with cdc adjusters I wish they came with a manual. Still not fully sure how to adjust them. I think so far they ride ok but I can’t really tell which way I should adjust them.

 

Eastbound and down on Palomar in Chula Vista.
Good lookin truck, had a plate bumper, possibly an ARB

 

Spotted this third gen with Tepui awning and water port. Sea world drive area

 

Chick fil a in Aliso Viejo

 

I did the same when I recently rebuilt my icons. So far I'm pretty satisfied with them. The guys that reinstalled my coils thought I was crazy for being that low.... not sure what they were so surprised about though

 

I just did the pressure change this round. I did revalved my rears though.

Once I have my coil compressor built, I'll start playing with the front shims. Definitely not paying the $60 to remove/install the springs every time I want to revalve. Haha.

 

1st Gen. Nice camper

 

How many miles have you put on your icons before rebuilding them?

 

Always see this guy in the parking lot of the industry 24 hr fitness. Had a red light convo with him a couple weeks back. Ray10's, pro grille, backflip.
