@Empty_Lord Don't install those ES bump stops BTW. They're absolute garbage that lets the Icons bottom out and break the welds off inside the arms

 

Stainless steel is not the miracle metal that most people think it is.

 

The bumps were part of the kit. I’m just using the factory ones. I’m not a fan of poly bump stops

 

No it isn’t. But it does hold up better than mild steel to road salt

 

Honestly the biggest reason I wanted the icon arms was the ball joint design allows for a cover over the top. Helps keep the crud out that destroyed my tc joints

 

What if I told you I thought you said "Limesauce"

 

Is it still going to see salt after you repaint it?

 

I'm so tired been up for 24 hours now and I saw what you posted and went "Limesauce? Oh look there's chicken in the fridge!"

 

Subaru is self inserting themselves right now without a butt safety flange. They've spent too much time messing around with a shit engine layout.

 

no. but meh. i still want it to be able to survive it if i have to drive it.

 

Aluminum or stainless steel would be our best bet if we powder or e coat it

 

still isnt enough. the entire trucks need to be made of titanium to survive.


I am thinking about galvanizing the old frame.... seems to work well for the land rover guys.

 

How much is titanium and how much stronger is it than steel

 

It's sad, but it's true people love to use stainless in applications that don't work well. The real ignorant ones are baffled when they find out their "stainless" steel is rusting. Why is it rusting at the welds. Fuck my wife is out of town tonight and I just washed my wife beater. So who am I supposed to kick around, the dog? No not the dog, the dog would never spend money on leggings. This is the response some people have when they find out their stainless shit is rusting at the welds.

 

Or maybe we can just stop dumping salt on out roads so a few wankers on bald tires can get to work. Salting roads is ruins bridges, watershed and vehicles

 

Alot and per lb its a bit stronger.

 

the day we stop salting is the day i'll be a happy man, but until then my truck will no see winter.. unless it absolutely has to.
