    Yeah im going to try to make one this spring, once i get the build goin full force, plan on moving to charollete in a year to attend UNCC so i hope to be able to make most of the URE meets then.

    Yeah, been drooling over Adams truck for quite sometime now lol. But i was just wondering since i think most the trails he seems to be doing dont seem to be tight like we have over here, so many trees to dodge!

    , do have some tight trails. If anything I would get sliders with a kick out. I did take some trail damage to the side of my truck bed. Small dent. No big deal

    lifted the truck an inch higher in the front. Love having Icon adjustable coilovers.

    On your Elite fromt bumper, were you able to get the bolts threaded on the frame rail ends?

    If you didn't, any issues using the winch and getting any shifting or flexing in the bumper?

    Glad you're digging the Icons.

    Step 1: Jack up the front of the truck so the weight is off the front suspension.

    Step 2: Turn adjuster ring using Icon spanner.

    Very easy. Got to try it out on a friend's 5-lugger. I'm looking forward to the day I get some Icons.

    Thanks! Very easy to lift. Use the same instructions as below!

    I did get the bolts in the frame rail ends. I've winched many times. I don't remember it being hard to line up. Are you having issues with yours? Weren't you at one point thinking about going to Icon's in the front?

    Yeah, the passenger side bolt doesn't line up and the bumper doesn't sit flush up against the rail ends. It tilts foward around 5 degrees. Been holding off on getting a winch until I can figure out how to fix it. Been wondering if other peeps have had issues with it. Looks like I can hawg out the passenger side hole a bit and it'll work but the tilt is going to take more work. The front grill seems to hang low enough to push on the front portion of the bumper, forcing it to tilt forward. Thought about forcing it flush with a hi-lift on the light hoop then getting th bolts in, but that doesn't seem like a good solution, creating a lot of pressure on that front grill.

    Yup, still want to get some Icons but saving for a down payment on a house.
