The next few months are crazy with business travel and trying to knock my wife up again. I’ll probably be limited to day trips for a minute. But once she’s pregnant, I’m sure she’d welcome me taking our 1 year old off her hands for a weekend. Hahaha.

Time management. I like it.

Nice build.
 
Yes. Contact crown for a set of extended stainless steel lines .
Not sure about the 16 and newer set up, but the 08 got stretched at full droop.
 
Rear is in process. I'm using this rear to set my jig with and then it will be built out for Roy.

Looking amazing. What are your first impressions of the icons?

Its hard to say until I get them in dirt. My guess is I will want them revalved. I’m basing this on the fact that when I open the clickers all the way soft, the truck is too billobilly. I like them at 3-4 for on road driving. This concerns me that off road, they’ll be too soft. But I’ve never had digressive shocks. I have Kings on my Tundra and I’m used to much stiffer on road feel because I have my compression tuned pretty aggressively on my bypasses. But if they perform well off road, I’ll be sold on digressive Shocks.

Putting them to 1 on road is not great, but putting them on 1 off-road is amazing. 4 is also what I put mine on when on-road, and 1 when I'm off-road. At least on my 100.

I really need to man up and get a set for the 200.

Interesting. So you run them with less compression off road? I’m still learning what this truck will like. i won’t be doing whoops at speed with this thing so I guess the shock tuning will be different. Only one way to find out.

Try it loaded up with gear/gas/passengers. You might find a different animal altogether.

Do you plan on adding bumpers, winch, etc? If so, it will make a massive difference.

Yeah. I’m not gonna really think about changing the valving until this summer. I’m in the queue for a TT front and rear bumper set up and a TrekBoxx drawer system. I have a Stealth RTT coming this week, so that’s more weight. It seems no matter what truck I get, it becomes a fat piggie. Hahaha.
