Haha yeah man! Great time. When we got to the end of the trail (30 feet from the on ramp to the freeway) he turned his jeep off and then when he went to start it again the starter was bad and the engine wouldn't even turn over haha. We just laughed and told him it wouldn't have happened if he had a Toyota!!

 

Came here to say, this is a gorgeous truck!

 

Haha thanks! I really appreciate it. Really has been a lot of fun. Love exploring and camping and all that good stuff and it's been great to me so far! Thanks again! Please let me know if you have any questions or anything. Love this site, lots of great people, great ideas, and great advice.

 

How do you like your UCA's with the Icon CO's? Im going to upgrade to Icon CO ext. and need UCA's and not sure to go with yours or camburg!

 

Hey what's up man! I love my whole setup. I haven't had any issues. When I did my Mojave Trail trip, I was flying down sandy trails at 55 mph and hitting corners super hard and the whole suspension was performing very well. I've heard a lot of great things about Camburg UCA's and I have heard good things about the Desert Products ones like I have as well. It's completely up to you. I personally liked the boxed design of the Desert Products UCA's. They seem beefy and they were less expensive than the camburgs. They've been great for me so far and I'd buy them again. Hope that helps a little haha, by honestly it's your preference.

 

Alright thanks! Im trying to decide between Fox CO's and Icon, progressive vs. digressive valve timing

 

Yeah for sure bro no worries. I can't say much about Fox cuz I don't have any experience with them but I know they're good. On the other hand I can't speak highly enough about my Icons! They're amazing! Everywhere I've gone wheeling, my icons have handled very very well! Great for crawling and high speed. So along with the UCA's the Coilovers are pretty much whatever you think you'll like better. King, icon, and fox. All good stuff.

 

I don't think I can go wrong with any of the big 3, but I have read the icons are stiff until at high speeds, I want a CO that will soak up all the rocks when crawling and forest service roads. Any experience on those kinds of roads yet?

 

Dude that's the weird thing is that I've heard that too, buuuuut, when I air my tires down and I'm on fire roads and rock crawling they have sucked up everything! I don't notice any bad bumps at all or anything. All of the big 3 are going to be more stiff than stock shocks cuz of the higher spring rate but I really feel good about the icons on every surface. Just my opinion!

 

Alright thanks man!! My goal is to run 285's next, how high do you have yours cranked up? Either 285 duratracs or Mtr's

 

No worries buddy. I have them cranked up to 2.25" so that it's level. I love the look. And Duratracs or MTR's are awesome. Can't go wrong with either one! I love my duratracs. If I ever jump to 35's I might go MTR's

 

Went up to Hungry Valley OHV in Gorman on Saturday. Fun time.



The frame twister obstacle at the 4X4 practice area






Climbing some steps. Poser pics haha








Lots of mud. Hit a mud hole and didn't realize the hole was as deep as it was. Almost tipped but punched the gas and barely made it through.





Fun day for sure!

 

That looks like a fun day of messing around.

 

That isn't a dent in the last pic is it?? Hopefully just mud makes it look like it. Looks awesome man! Still coming up this spring?

 

Yeah bro it was a good time. My wife went to a baby shower and I decided to go have some fun for the day!

 

Hahaha duude I thought the same thing! Just the mud though. Thank goodness. Thanks it was a good ole time. It's a 50/50 thing now man just cuz we're trying to buy a house and stuff right now! I really really wanna come up there but don't know if I can take that time off cuz I gotta stay working to make sure I pay the mortgage. I'll keep you updated. Hoping it works out!

 

Alright man sounds good! Summer would be better for you so it doesn't rain every single day you are up here, plus we can go on actual trails. No matter what though it would be an awesome trip year round! Hopefully work, works out!

 

That is a great use of your free time.

 

Yeah dude it would be super cool! Definitely wanna make it up that way and explore!

 

Haha yeah man. It was either chill at home and rest up or go get my truck dirty. It was a lot of fun! My buddy's wife was the one whose baby shower it was so I took him with me and got him out of having to sit there in an estrogen filled room haha.
