Icon waaa waaaa waaaaa

That's nuts.

My front 2.5 ICON coilover was empty of oil within ~5 weeks of installation (pure pavement driving). Just yesterday I found out that one of my rear shocks is also leaking (at the fitting which extends to the remote reservoir) - less than 6 months of easy city use. Not willing to even consider warrantying this shock due to how poorly ICON handled the first warranty claim. Never again! Kings or OME.

 

Yep...



bad ass dog and pics tho

 

Before assuming things, might want to actually do some research into when my ICONs were installed, and when that photo was taken. 100% stock suspension. The most "off roading" my ICONs have been subjected to was the couple inches of snow in the last few weeks. Garbage product, garbage customer service.

 

Wait didn't you say "spirited off roading"?

 

I will attest that @EDDO does just fine hooning his Icons across the desert... done seened it meself

 

easy compadre just an observation. If you used your stock suspension like so you likely use the Icon similarly. Heavy loads like whats pictured will work the shocks more than you think, especially a 2.0. That being said, shoot me a PM and I will help you as best I can with your warranty claim.

 

I came off a bit harsher than I intended - for that I apologize. I can understand your assumption re: use, but I assure you, that's not the case. Even in that photo, considering the weight of the canopy (200lbs) and the bed slide (100lbs), the entire rear end has no more than 600-700lbs on it (and that's being generous), which is far from anything even remotely "abusive." Fifteen gallons of liquids (5 fuel, 10 water), a ~40lb eazy-up canopy (tan, middle of photo), and the ~40lb (60lb loaded?) fridge. The rest is nothing but fluff - mattresses, clothing, sleeping bags. The truck hasn't seen anything this "heavy" since. I'll shoot you a PM in a few minutes.

 

this looks like the way to go...

 

If you do this, I hope you have better luck finding the correct length grade 8 fasteners at your local hardware store than I did. Wound up buying a box of 25 online.

 

I'm guessing I can buy mine from you then? Lol

 

But that would invalidate the stereotype of the Icon owner mentioned earlier in this thread.

 

OEM replacement, can't figure out which Fox or King setup we need, weekend warrior, less capable drivers incapable of installing or maintaining aftermarket parts correctly. If the shoe fits, I'll wear it.

 

Wait a minute...are you guys related??? Dude I swear its the same truck in both avatars! Something sneaky is going on around here!
