^That may be a big jump there, but we'll see. 
Here are some cell phone pics I took over the weekend. Went on a last minute camping trip to Big Basin State Park for 4 days. It was an amazing weekend.
I should have my Magnaflow muffler installed tomorrow morning and hopefully my ICON setup by Thursday.
Taken right before heading out up hwy 9. I found this waterproof rooftop bag at Lowe's for $40. It worked perfectly. It fit 4 sleeping bags, 3 tents, 4 folding chairs and 3 bales of wood. It fit perfectly on the roof and was more then secure.
This was our surroundings for the weekend. It was nice to be unplugged for a few days. Got in some really good hiking and enjoyed the company of friends and family. Definitely going to be doing more of this.

^Thanks! I am definitely excited to get these on.
Here are the Icon UCA's which just arrived 10 minutes ago.

Stupid question, but what are these exactly for?

Magnaflow #12586 Muffler install
^Those are Upper Control Arms. They replace the stock UCAs and are much stronger and have way more adjustability. Plus they look nicer.
I got my Magnaflow muffler installed today for $65. I got a deal on the actual muffler from Amazon too. I paid $40 shipped for it. The thing was a customer return and was never used. It definitely opened up the sound a bit more. It's not loud at all but you can definitely hear the truck more from the inside. I love it.
I got it done by Babe's muffler on the Alameda in Downtown SJ. These guys were awesome. It took 40 minutes and the guys were super chill. I would recommend these guys to anyone.

Looking forward to hearing what the Magnaflow sounds like. By the way I just ordered one of these.

If you have time definitely try and snap some pictures! I know sometimes you can get in "install mode" and forget all about it (Thats what happens when I install things), But a lot of us (myself included) would benefit greatly from some pics on an ICON install on a LTD.
Your setup is sick by the way.
Good luck!

Huge thanks for the support Curt! That is awesome!
The model is Magnaflow #12586. Center/offset muffler.
I will surely try to get some pics of the install when I decide to tear it all apart.
It's going to be pretty hard to get some video since all you can really hear is road noise in the background. I'll see what I can come up with.

This was posted on a previous thread re this subject. I also have the same Magnaflow. I experience the same sound, although not as loud as what is in the video. This is probably due to the TRD intake as referred to by the star of the show! Hope this helps a little. Be safe.

^I know. It'll be done hopefully by this afternoon.
Does anyone make 2.5" lift rear springs? The Icon's can go up to 3.5" up front and I'd like to get a 2.5" lift in the rear.
I've seen 3 inch rear springs or you can get a spacer. I think BFLAN and a couple others have 3" rear springs.Once you go over 3" in the front though ,a differential drop is highly recommended as the angle of the front CV axles will be too great,especially with the long travel Icons, and you'll trash them.
With a diff drop you'll run into possible skid plate/front bumper fitment problems as well as losing ground clearance the thickness of the drop .

^Awesome! I'll leave the front at 3" so I don't have to mess with a diff drop. I definitely don't want to get into anything like that, yet.
So with the 3.5" lift springs in the back, I won't need to extend any brake lines or anything right?
Thanks for the info guys!
Mark, I have AllPro FJC 3.5" rear springs and I used Overland Warehouses brake relocation bracket, $20 or so. It's been on my truck since I had the ICON 2" rear springs. I've flexed the rear suspension hard, and the rear brake lines show no signs of damage or over extension.

The alternative is purchasing a set of extended stainless steel brake lines, which is a good idea. You might as well do the front and rear at the same time,if your going to work on the brake lines.
