ICON NEW PRODUCT!!

Nice to see Icon puch the stock taco in new ways. this set up seems nice for a beefy mid travel on a budget. the second shocks would help out alot compared to just a coilover on the front

 

No need to flame everyone has their opinion I have seen the skids take plenty hard hits without anything but a scratch. they were designed for rock crawling not rock bashing/slash bouncing. And ramming the lca's into the rocks is not the smartest thing to do with whatever skids you have.

 

Then the BAMF skid should suit you just fine. I think the problem with XXXX's statement is that there is no way to validate that statement, saying "they were ruined after one hard run", is bullshit, did he impact the same rock with the same force on his skids and get a better result? No, then it's subjective crap, there are plenty of guys on here who are tickled with these skids. I have the very first pair on my truck, I understand the philosophy behind the design and also understand that it's not meant to be a battering ram, not ICON's, not anyone's. If you shear a bolt off the it would probably mean you didn't bend or break your LCA. Those LCA's are flimsy and rely of they way they are bent for strength rather than the thickness of the steel, they are bolted at each corner of the skid and essentially make the LCA much stiffer. Frankly I think if you wreck a skid, you were doing something you shouldn't have in the first place.

 

haha ahh piece of mind again lololol

ya i wonder how hard people were driving to break spindles and lcas and stuff.

then i see videos of people jumping stock trucks and driving them like they are long travel race trucks.

 

I don't recommend it. LSK just built a OE length LCA, and the group buy flopped.

 

i wish beefy LCAs could be cheaper.

i dont know what goes into them that makes them expensive.

is it the material or are you paying for the quality of welds?

 

Subd

 

CNC cutting, bending, material, uniballs, hardware, it all adds up. This isnt even factoring in overhead. We lost money building the first batch. It did do a lot toward R&D for our LT kit.

 

none of the products are on the market yet... R&D is still taking place

 

yeah. the 4runner in the video was there too... i just didn't take any pics because the tacoma had the wheels off so people could see everything

icon only puts out quality stuff. their specialty is bolt on, OE replacement stuff.

 

im pretty interested in that rear shock.

 

ahhh duh. haha

 

it'll be a pretty penny for the pair... i'm guessing $1200-ish

but the ability to run a bolt on rear bypass isn't currently available

 

fo sho

 

The rear leafs have the Icon AAL.
I'm thinking this rear setup is going to run over $2,500 new.

$220 for the AAL
$1,600 for shocks
$400-600 bumps
$200 can mounts (probalby understaed)
$100 strike pad

If they are the Icon Omega's then they will be about $800+ per shock

Omega

 

The front kit new will probaby run
$1,300 coilovers
$1,300 billet UCA
$1,600 Omega Bypass
$?$ Shock hoop
$?$ LCA skid
$29 for spanner wrench

 

you get what you pay for... and quality doesn't come cheap.

if it's too expensive for you, don't but it.

you guys need to understand that currently, there are not any other options for a bolt on rear bypass shock specifically valved, out of the box for the 05+ tacoma, bolt on LCA skid that allows the use of a secondary bypass shock that is specifically tunded, out of the box for a tacoma (2WD or 4WD) or bolt on rear hydro bumps that mount outside the frame rails... yes, light racing offers a bolt on jounce shock for the 05+ tacomas which are very similar

it's called cornering the market

 

I'm not implying that the setup is overpriced, I'm just trying to inform give average price tag for this setup. More power to icon for going past basic bolt on and offering better packages than Fox and King.

 

Don't think those are "double bumps",they look like the rear bumps off of a Sierra or silverodo. Iv seen ppl use them befor, there a much softer rubber then what's stock on a taco.
