    I want to see the way they're mounted. Smart guy! The rear 5100's I have now are mounted with the shock boot and shaft on the top of the frame & with the eyelet of the body mounted onto the rear axle. In the past I've read, it doesn't matter what orientation the 5100's are mounted. Either way works. I'm installing my Icons today and I'm almost positive the Icons only mount up one way. So if you don't have any images of how they're mounted on the rear of a 1st gen Tacoma, I don't need to hear anything out of you. Thanks for your effort though!

    Here you go. A call to ICON confirmed since the non reservoir are emulsion shocks the body need to be upward.ICON rear Shock.jpg WP_20160730_006.jpg

    Standin up for @paranoid56 here a little but I thought you were just wondering how they looked rather than asking the orientation myself. Nothing in your post really hinted that. But yea like said emulsions almost always go shock body up. Go off the orientation of sticker if your not sure.

    Thanks for all your help! But I stopped looking at this thread till after installing them. I knew I wasn't gonna get anywhere with the 1st comment. I couldn't go off the orientation of my sticker since my 5100's were installed w/ the shock body on the bottom where the sticker was orientated. But I see the 5100's must not be an emulsion shock. I'm on TW to try to learn stuff but without wording the thread right people who know a lot more than me can get confused. Still images of the Icon 2.0 shock on a first gen would've took care of that in the first place. Thanks again. Next time I'll just call Icon. I emailed both Icon & ORW but no reply. So you'd be surprised what a simple phone call would do!
