Harveys?
Have fun!

 

if i dont hear from Icon today, i might..might lose my shit.

 

Fun times

 

Wow pretty good! Yup was at the tables til 4 this morning. Struggled to get up, but headed to the slopes now

 

Yeah, all pros and cons I guess. I second your thoughts about the SAS and camper. On the one hand I like the Habitat because it functions like a normal shell when not in use, great since I use my truck for work, but I don't think it's that well sealed off to the elements compared to a FWC. Like rain for example, sure you covered, but when you fold the tent all that water is stuck on the inside.

I considered SAS since I could run the same size or taller tire without all the same clearance issues. The truck will be more capable off road, and since I already have a shell and RTT I wouldn't be loosing anything. On the other hand, I loose my front wheel sensors and traction control and still have to deal with the RTT.

That scout setup looks awesome! Theres something about the looks of those and old Bronco's that have me wanting to build one up, but unless you rebuild the whole thing with modern components nothing beats a Taco for adventures.

 

Hehehehe

 

thankfully its 100% Icons lagging. 4Runner is just hangin out with its front legs off.

 

I wasn't saying to get a FWC over a Habitat. For daily drivers and general utility, the Habitat is perfect! Like the Flippac, the bed space is the same as having a camper shell. The Flippac is great, but the Habitat address all of its deficiencies.

After seam sealing the rain fly, I had no water issues with the Flippac. The habitat should be fine and way more spacious than my tiny FWC. Easier to set up, and no rainfly to deal with.

The Scout was awesome and any breakdown was caused by my deferred maintenance. Agree that the Tacoma is a way better platform for exploring. I do miss those power leather seats though...

 

some unsuspecting 3rd genner will get my rage today courtesy of Icon.

 

Oh no, I guess in my head I'm going back and forth between a base FWC and the Habitat, since the prices are close. I've never been in a FWC to get a good feel for one though. Maybe that will help me decide.

 

Careful. They're swinging the ban hammer pretty hard in there today.

 

Is icon sending you new shocks or just rebuilding old ones

 

shipping me a new shaft because im rebuilding them and one of my shafts are rusted and sharp that sanding and polishing cant smooth out.

 

How old are they?

 

ive had them 3 years, and they had over 60k miles on them.

 

Good I'm having mine put on today and hoping they last at least a few years

 

just make sure to wipe the shaft down (yes) after trips/winter. Mine had build up in the gap on the lower cup, when i fully compressed them in Pismo it shredded my seal.

 

Y'all make sure I do that. I saw the pictures and your videos from your Pismo trip looks like you guys had fun.

 

Fluid film, guys. Im buying a bunch of cans, once the truck is built, going to town under the whole truck.
