ICON LEAKING RESI, WARNING, NOTCHING, BS AND F**KS GIVEN

I'm not pointing at you specifically, it's more of a blanket statement.

 

WOW this caught my attention! Really man this is expected for ICON LT coils? Damn glad I got the blue! Minor modification is one thing, but to encourage this amount for LT application? Its like they are too proud to re-design or something...

More likely the OME guys

 

Until they drive over a speed bump

 

Ok, last one:


Your cam tabs are flat as fuck.

 

So that's what "Merica" looks like?

Not mine, google fu:


These are with the TC reinforcements, but stock should look the same (just less beefy). Notice how the alignment cam is snugged up against the tabs on either side which will keep the truck from falling out of alignment off road or otherwise hitting a bump. Yours has a noticeable gap on the outer edge and from your picture looks like both sides are flattened out. This makes alignment more difficult. Not a huge deal, but your tires could wear uneven or your numbers could be off if you care about that sort of thing.
For the record, not talking shit, just pointing something out that you may have not noticed. I do that- The people I wheel with hate me for it.

 

These are def a great upgrade! I got them on mine so they can take a little more punishment as well.

Dis off a stock T4R, but stock Tacoma should look similar:



Flattened:

 

I use the word "fuck" a lot. It's very versatile.

Agreed on maybe a more subtle approach, but dude upgrade for the BROs!

Better picture for everyone to see....

 

Those welds tho...

 

I guess I need to go back to work. All this excuse it wasn't install right, I'm running mine for almost two years with now with no issue. Now I'm going to grind the shit out of it and not take chances.

 

Ain't nobody got time for tiggin'!





























fuck

 

Looks like it here....

 

TIG FTW you lazy fucker

 

Maybe it was the angle of the picture (of the passenger's side), my mistake. Either way something to check after every offroad trip. The front cam tabs are more susceptible to flattening because that's where the energy gets transferred first. If your tabs are still straight, you could avoid paying for the TC gussets and just run a bead of weld behind the stockers and it should be good and strong.

 

Great picture to show what most likely happened.

So, as the rear suspension cycles up the shock has to pivot since it's mounted stationary to the frame mount and to a moving object (axle). So picture the lower power of the shock moving to the left and up as the suspension moves, the fitting hits the shock mount it self and puts pressure on it in the loosening direction. That's all it takes. It's what happened on mine when I had these shocks. I had to move the reservoir a bit to make sure it had a bit of room so it would touch and loosen itself.

Make sense?
