In preparation for the GA Traverse next weekend, I replaced the PHH today. Not terrible, but definitely not enjoyable either.

Replaced a rear wheel stud. Put this off for a few years; running with just 5. Took two rounds of heat from a torch to hammer it out. Pulled through with two washers, a large nut and the lug nut. Not the best way but it worked. Hubs need some love.

Let us know how you like them. I am thinking of going with ICON but from the looks of these the rebound/compression is easy to adjust.
Need a tool to adjust the BP51. Not saying it's a problem but it's different from others like ICON and KING
The ICON shocks are just a knob that can be easily turned by hand. Can't get much easier.

I think the BP51s are a good shock but remember that they are not a 2.5 like the ICON or KING remote res ones. Depending on the springs you have they can limit down travel as well compared to the ICONs.

That is good to know to thank you. I have ridden in several ICON equipped rigs and love the way they feel. Honestly, I am going to probably go with the ICON over the OME. But shocks/spring debates are like Ford Chevy Dodge, Toyota, Nissan, Honda debates.
 
Spent the day exploring the pine valley mountains. Fun fact, the pine valleys are considered the largest granite laccolith in the world. Also I got to enjoy some amazing scenery and found a new trail to hike that was awesome and provided some cool views.

Started the Journey with the boys. Estes Park, then trail ridge road. Lots of snow. Went to Alluvial falls. Good times.

Through an indirect reference in Chat I discovered, and have spent the last few weekends reading, the thread linked below. While not an 80, it is a great Cruiser adventure.

Saving The Old Rustbucket--My 1982 FJ40 Tale

Additionally, it is also a poignant reminder to appreciate our fathers, whether living or passed, and the importance of being a father, if you are in that position. It is not just a title, it is a role.

Many thanks to @Sea Knight and Army.

Happy Father's Day!
