Finally got out and used my Tepui. Even convinced the wife to come as well. Found it to be quite comfortable and with our 80 lbs chocolate lab and us it was warm enough too. Outside temperature was -15c (6f) when we woke up so pretty impressed that the wife wasn't cold (as she normally is).

Got a cheap heated blanket off Amazon and hooked it to a spare battery I had so she was able to turn it on before bed and when she woke up

So I noticed about a month ago that one of my rear shocks was leaking. After quick inspection looked to be some pitting on the shaft as well. I took some crappy under truck pics and contacted Icon. Said the one would be covered. Now I took both out and the one that's blown appears extremely pitted which is discerning after approximately 12,000 kms (7500mi)

The passenger side has only a small amount of pitting but I'm hoping as the 1 year warranty is almost up and I need to ship from Canada they will agree to do both now.

Had the same shocks as you, only lasted maybe 10k, the gravel chewed them up because there's no guards. I wasn't very impressed with them

I agree. If they get rebuilt under warranty then I'll be adding some accordion boots and possibly a guard for the driverside mount as it's in front of the diff and clearly takes tons of abuse

Wow that sucks, hope they take care of you. That sort of issue should be covered for a lot more than a year, and they should come with guards to prevent it.

I hope so as well. I agree that there should be some kind of guard and boot on them. Most every other shock comes with them so you'd think when paying a premium price they would also.

None of the expensive coilovers come with guards for some reason. And a 1 year warranty is long! King is only 90 days and on others I can't find any mention of a warranty at all.

OME at least has a 3 year warranty.
