Edmonton and Area Toyotas

Worked 18hrs ot this weekend. Still would rather have gone on the trip. Looks like a fun time.

 

In my opinion, they were awesome. There was enough ass puckering moments, obstacles, mud, water, and general WTF moments to make it truly entertaining. I'm sure Joe has the distance, but we were wheeling straight from 11am to 9:30pm with about a 40 minute stop for lunch and NO LOOPS. All different trails. A common couple of logging roads, but for the most part, we were either in the bushes, in an open meadow, or riding through some logging areas.

We only had to winch once for myself and Byron and that ate up about an hour and a bit, so nothing too crazy. It was the best wheeling experience I've had.

 

what a day... Lol we covered a shit ton of trail!!! Some epic views and amazing trail conditions

I pulled a god damned 3500 dually with a trailer hooked up, UP a hill lol
We had myself stuck in the first twenty minutes due to a bad judgement call, had some very technical spots yesterday and some stupid tight spots, we started the trail with a thunderstorm, it cleared up before lunch and than ended the day with an even bigger lightshow

Ill get the distance off the phone soon and figure out our total trek yesterday

Thank god we got Byron out when we did, that could have gotten messy.....

 

Haha bad judgement call.... cause no one ever makes those.

Glad you all made it out ok with 100% of the vehicles.

 

sounds like i missed out

 

Anyone having problems getting on TEAOA? I can't log on.

 

you have to make a new account..... I switched us to VB and well have a much more stable set-up

sorry for the confusion and lack of organization, only things that should change now are the styles and colors thats all

 

no but its been switched to veebulletin 5 so you will have to resign up

 

So got the icon setup in and the front end rides like crap. I have an arb bumper on the front, is it too heavy for the icons? Basically when I am on washboard it clucks worse then when I had stock suspension in. Any ideas?

 

Might be the weight. What are they rated for?

 

I honestly don't know. I just assumed the shop that I ordered them from would order the right ones

 

Nope...... it's a shifty deal for sure your going to need to order 700 lb sounds, 14" in length and get them swapped, and than you will need to adjust the preload for weight


Sucks to hear but the aftermarket lifts just don't support the off shelf with the factor of plate bumpers




I should ask your a second gen???


Also maybe adjust the preload it may help

 

Yes it's a second gen with a arb bumper. Are you serious that I need to order new springs? Man this is the shits. Where do I order springs and who can make them for me? This has been a real let down!

 

king or eibach. go see bear at beartrax

 

Ok I will try him again. I was hoping to order all the stuff the first time but he never got back to me. And the shop I ended up being a night mare! Man I knew I should have just ordered kings in the first place. Dam I am piss. I have been waiting for this for ever and wanted to get out wheel and know its no better then stock! Thanks guys I will give a call on Monday . Has anyone else on here with icons have the same issues?

 

No problems with my icons... Stock front bumper though.

 

I hate to say it. When you start modding you end up with issues like these. Just think about the BS people went through before the off shelf parts were available.

 

new forum is 100% functional

 

Does anyone know if icon shocks are shipped with nitrogen or are you supposed to get then charged

 

They should be. They would have informed you if they neede to be charged before install. Nut it dosent hurt to get the pressures checked if you are worried about it. Check with the guys in the mid travel bs thread.
