Well, my friend, he didn’t say how much he wanted to spend...

I have the Icon set up on another truck and it is much better than stock and I’ve taken it on trails that would surprise you (especially given its size).
I didn’t interpret his comments as wanting to make his rig a rock crawler or taking it on hard Offroad courses.
I guess if the OP can give us an idea of his budget we could offer him better suggestions.

BTW here is my F-350 with my Hallmark Camper on top of Hurricane Pass last June. The only other rigs up there were built Jeeps and Razrs...

All good. I appreciate different perspectives. I firmly believe in pursuing value instead of just focusing on cost. Buy once, cry once.

Opened and painted my Borla exhaust today. Well packaged, quality exhaust with good welds. Got a Borla hat! Painted the tailpipe and one of the clamps with hi temp black paint.

Got the Borla exhaust installed today and did a short review too. Sounds pretty good...pretty mild Check it out. I have not quit my day job so the camera work is meh and so is the editing. Overall not a lot of issues with the install- pretty straight forward. Had to cut the stock exhaust - might be able to drop the spare and wiggle it out, but we just cut it so it would fit in the bed. Please like my Youtube video...thanks

I have done a lot of researching and reading about this lift company as well. I have even called and spoke with them on the phone to ask questions and what not. Everything I have read and researched has been positive. I also love the fact that they are not your typical cookie cutter type lift. Not saying there is anything wrong with those lifts, but I prefer to deal with companies that have the quality control more in mind than pushing out a bunch of lifts. Especially without knowing that everything is perfect and performs how they say it is. Talking with them on the phone I can tell that quality not quantity is of the upmost importance to them.

Had a piece of 2x6 laying around. Had some spray bedliner. now I have a cheap bed divider /support. I know it’s not exactly what you’re supposed to do with the 2x4s but it will work for me.

Also got a HF box on sale to put hitch and straps and stuff in. Fits perfectly between tailgate and wooden bed divider.

Chad at Pristine Auto Detailing prepping and buffing JTR.Spartacus. Next will be ceramic coat. Jeepless but exited for the reveal. The green masking tape looks crazy.

Love the build so far. Really looking forward to seeing the ACE bumper/bull-bar install and the winch. I am thinking of the same set up and want to see how it looks/installs.
