Toytec Boss Coilovers VS Icon stage 2

[Vettethret]

I get your point. But to clarify some of your statements made towards "I" as in "ME" I will have to correct you.
I do not own a 10 speed, I do not rent and I built my last rig an 08' FJ Cruiser into a heavily modified "off road" vehicle that I spent a lot of money on "for off roading". It was on 35's and was regeared with ARB lockers. So I actually have experience with the advice I was giving.
It just doesn't make sense to me why people want to put tons of money into building their truck into an off-road vehicle if they don't even plan on wheeling it.
More build, less talk. Lets see your 4Runner "one upper"!

Clearly you didnt get the joke. Thats why I mentioned the Axe commerical. You also didnt get the fact that my "One Upper" joke wasnt directed towards you at all, how could it have been? Maybe you havnt seen it. If you Youtube "Axe One Upper" you will see that I was making fun on myself. I dont talk shit to people I dont know on the forums, im a little too old for that.

if its just a mall crawler why not just run spacers and keep the stock ride for the most part?

Im 280 lbs and dead lift over 600lbs, so lifting them in and out of my rigs is not an issue. Build thread will be coming up:becky:

I'm 300 lbs and deadlift over 750 lbs .... your move

:hug: kidding.

Jokes aside I can't give any advice about the BOSS kit other than the upper control arms - I went through 3 sets of the Light Racing UCAs (failed at the welds) while they dorked around with the washer/bushing design. Luckily no catastrophic failure / damage while driving 60 mph down the highway but I couldn't in good faith recommend them to anyone.

Yes you will get some more squeaks / maintenance requirements from uniballs but they are worth it from a strength and safety standpoint esp. if you'll be pushing the limits of your suspension running 35's.

I love my ICONs, yes they are a little stiff but they soak things up without too much drama. You may also want to consider KING as I've heard they tend to offer that pillow like ride while also soaking up the big stuff.

Good luck with the build! Can't wait to see it!

Good luck with your build.

Its one of the best commercials ever. The industry I work in, there are a TON of one uppers (Usually the younger guys). I always get a kick out of it.:thumb:

Thats scary, I researched the Light Racings last night and saw that. Im not taking any chances, I will stick with the Icon stage II.

Regearing to 4.56s costs between $4-5k just FYI to add to your mod list.

Sorry, what?

Complete front and rear nitro 4.56 package from ecgs. even if you were going to double lock at the same time your bill is going to be under $3500.

Ha ok. I just remember one of the guys talking about it while I was out on a trail run a few weeks ago. Thought he said he got quoted $4500 from ecgs. Aorry about that. Don't want to spread bad info.

Hell yes. You just convinced me to leave work early, thank you.

 

[hearno]

What can everyone else deadlift?

I can deadlift my truck but only if I take the spare tire off.

 

[MadeInMaine]

OP (or anyone I guess)

Any update on which you went with and why and results?

Cheers

A colleague of mine can lift his own car ... it is a little Suzuki but still. I will have to ask him a video that he showed me last month.
