After seeing the host of Icon sporting vehicles last weekend I'm guessing remote reservoirs.

Icon 2.0 Remote Reservoir: Field Install

We threw these Icon Vehicle Dynamics V.S. Series aluminum body 2.0 shock absorbers on at the Overland Rally in Hollister.
Big thanks to HMR and Chris for taking pics!

Out with the old and in with the new... OME's with almost 50K and still good.

Totally stoked with this upgrade!

Bottle jack to get that bottom bolt in

Hi-Lift and blocks for safety

Big thanks to Chris (Tacovendor) for lending a hand and just being a really COOL guy to work with - THANKS CHRIS!!!

Drilling frame for resi mounts

Mission accomplished!

And a BIG thanks to Jeremy at Icon Vehicle Dynamics!!!

Do you know the extension and compression lengths, Icon makes great stuff

No idea, I don't see it listed on their site either.

All I know is the piston alone was almost as long as the whole OME shock that it replaced... :Wow1:

The way my truck is setup I am kind of stuck in the middle for shock travel and talking with Bilstein I am limited with my setup. I am sure you will feel a much better ride with the Icon setup.

Darn. I want a flip pack. How mich space do you have in that thing? Can it sleep 2 adults and two kids reaslnably with space?

Also, it shows you have 4.88 gears. Does the factory elocker still work with those?

Nice build. Thanks for maintaoning this inspiring build thread.

It can sleep two adults and two kids, it just depends on how you build out the interior. Shruk has one on a Titan and he sleeps two adults and 3 kids in his.

Yes, the factory locker will work with whatever gears you choose
