I've had my ICON springs over a year and they are dead quiet / don't squeak. And I am very happy with the upgrade over stock.
My camper's leaf springs do squeak, and a spritz of lithium grease once or twice a year is all those need.
I have a solar port and mobile folding panel for that! This is to keep it topped off in float mode without having to plug it in and to help run the fridge on a full charge for short one or two night trips
This is on my camper not my truck, a 2021 Clipper Express 9.0TD Vpkg, but I thought it might interest people because it’s very similar to a setup a buddy has for his starlink mini on his tacos roof rack
System kit is all Renogy with a single 50w panel capable of plug and play with more or...
Agreed, you have to do some serious true off-roading to get any benefit. My setup is insanely capable and I have done three-wheeling climbs that require lifting a tire, yet never had body contact on the same trail run. If I were you I wouldn’t go over a ~32. Anything bigger is for looks and...
Yeah my friends all still have CB and the weather info can useful in the mountains. On my next truck I will probably go GMRS or something. The CB is part of the Ranger now lol
Antenna test fit, seems to be working great:
There are surprisingly few threads on this. I have had a CB for 10+ years, mostly for group off-roading trips, but I would just throw it in the back seat with 12V outlet power and a Tram mag antenna out the window. I finally am getting it permanently mounted so it is much easier to use for any...
Look at the specs of the Icon rear shocks they match to their own springs: 0-1.5" lift no matter which flavor.
Rock crawling you can lift a wheel slowly which is wayyyy different than lifting a wheel fast, or jumping like a baja truck so both drop to full travel at high speed. Unless you're...
How are the KO3s for you guys so far?
Just got mine today, 265/70-17 in load range C -- I have barely driven on them but they do seem nice and quiet so far
What sync version did you update to?
My 2019 lost its connectivity to the Ford Pass app a few months ago after they udpated the app again. It had worked seamlessly since 2019, before that.
You went to 33s and that added a vibration at high speed and you are blaming the drive shaft? How do you know it's the drive shaft and not your wheel/tire/alignment combo? You don't.
A single piece drive shaft would fix low speed shimmy and is technically WORSE at high speeds. I would not jump...
Yes they came with the stage 6, but both stock bolts broke taking them out and had to be drilled out. I would have left the stock bump stops had I known of that issue.
Seems like it's the 1.2 degrees at the axle if I had to guess. I would love for this to be solved and made strongly public. It blows my mind that there isn't an aftermarket kit or spacer to fix the vibration with lifts.
I had very little / no vibration with the Fox 2.0 leveling setup, but when...
... is better than you'd think, LOL! I'd love to see other midsize offroad rigs like the taco, 4runner, colorado, etc. in this position.
This is a funny picture because it's with my alloys and Blizzaks on for ski season, in a mall crawl parking spot. This is how it looks with the left on the...
