    ICON Stage 2 + Delta Joint UCA installed

    Here are how the boots hang. I haven't touched them at all, all summer. Haven't even wiped them down, at all, including the shock arms. They're pretty damn clean. Gonna do a detail clean next time I grease the UCAs. And here is the surface I'm talking about where the shock body...

    ICON Stage 2 + Delta Joint UCA installed

    1. You're welcome! I learned almost all I know about my RAM from this forum so giving back a little was the least I could do. 2. No unexpected maintenance, but three minor issues. 1) the front UCA bushings squeak quite a bit. I grease them with the correct grease every 3000 miles or less...

    Super Start Platinum Battery

    Thanks for the quick reply! However, my better half convinced me to just buy the damn battery new...as my truck's stock battery is deader than dead...and we need the truck running asap. Thanks though, and good luck! This is a good deal.

    Super Start Platinum Battery

    Still available? I'm heading to O'Reilly's now to go buy this very battery. I live in CA also, so the shipping may only be about $45+-?

    KC HiLite 40” lightbar with brackets

    I did not buy this, by the way. It is a good deal though! (bump)

    Rear end ride quality

    All this is truth. I've spent...a LOT...of time under the rear end of my pickemup truck, raising, fiddling with the coils, lowering, over and over, until I THINK it's bowing less than before...then I put the tires back on, and dammit if it doesn't look MORE bowed now...so I do it again. Beer...

    Rear end ride quality

    This is correct, and Icon mentions it in their instructions as well. The frame bracket mount (the upper one) needs to be ground away a bit to fit the Icons, because the shock body will hit it. Not very much, but some. The shock doesn't need to be modified. Apparently, this doesn't always...

    "Bruiser" A 2017 RAM 1500 4X4 5.7 HEMI adventure...

    Soon...kinda torn on what to go with, both brand/cost and the actual types. Hard to justify the cost of most name brands going with what I want...which is: Lightbar: single row, as blacked out as possible surrounding the LEDs, either 30" or 20" with good waterproof harness and connections...

    "Bruiser" A 2017 RAM 1500 4X4 5.7 HEMI adventure...

    Ordered a Radius Gardens Root Slayer shovel, shovel mounts for inside bed, a Blueridge Overland Gear Molle/PALS panel for the back of my seat with some pouches for organizing gear/tools, an ARB snatch strap, Gear America tree saver for use as a bridle, and a cheap aluminum hitch reciever with...

    "Bruiser" A 2017 RAM 1500 4X4 5.7 HEMI adventure...

    I just love this damn bumper! Looks way better in person than the dozen photos I so painstakingly obsessed over for months. So glad I jumped on this, and the 40% off deal was the icing on the cake! Sitting happy...

    Kyle's Overlandish Build (Westin Outlaw Bumper)

    Very interested to see the light bar install. They are next on my list. What did you go with? I'm debating a single 30" single row bar on bumper...or a 20" single row bar, with two fog pods on either side (maybe amber for dust-vision) Eventually will get A-pillar lights too for good side...
