Thanks for the kind words!
I have found Icon shocks (other vehicle brand platforms as I have never had any Jeep in with Icons) the closest to the type of ride qualities I prefer. So your satisfaction with them does not surprise me.
Rebuilding/evaluating Icon's piston types and valving stacks...
A lot of it is smoke and mirrors! People seem to pick a brand based on color or other cool factor, then they want me to work around it assuming they already bought them?
Why not pick your tuner based on your use and their experience. Let the tuner sell you what really need? I send some people...
I have zero experience with the race 3.0s, but if Fox got them close, the DSCs would get you close. Reads like Rickle is happy with his setup. For the IBP 3.0 cost or $6500, I might consider going a little farther to $7500 for the live valve IBP 3.0s? You also lose 1" travel with the 3.0 due to...
Yes, the HTOs are the shock I'm thinking about.
For your RZR, the short answer is "Yes I can" tune them but without really good feedback or testing the car myself, it's not going to be the polished product I want to put out. If you want to replace them, I could certainly drop ship you a set...
No resi on these!
I won't be able to confirm without acquiring a set and testing, but yes....I think this is what could be possible. Maybe get a full set of (4) shocks for the price of a single pair of 2.5 elites?
Think of a regular smooth bodied 2.0 on steroids! Have a look here...
Figured i might bump the thread since I have seen a sizable ourpouring from users and supporters tagging us recently which has alerted me to continued interest in what we do. Also people reaching out because I've been a bit on the quieter side.........
Yes, we're still doing Jeep stuff and...
Yes, It's not a huge difference between gas and diesel on the similar spring rates......slightly less compression and more rebound.
The main thing is that you are running a spring rate combination that I have worked with. Otherwise I would be doing what everyone else is...
Another thing that makes me think that a more efficient cooler alone would be a waste is that trans temps don't track with coolant temps? When coolant has hit 248° in the past, trans is still under 220°?
Try it and let us know!
I haven't replaced the radiator or trans cooler because I'm not convinced it will result in anything more than a lighter wallet?
I've also pretty much quit traveling with a load when it's over 100° these days.
What good is a larger cooler when there is a "Warmer" inline that will regulate the temp anyway? Have you not noticed the trans temp is pretty much the same at 10° as it is at 100°? Jeep designed the system to run about 200°?
A more efficient cooler may actually do nothing if installed by itself?
I cant say I've even seen mine that high.......seems like 205-208 sustained while towing heavy at 100°ish ambient, climbing to maybe 217° on some hard pulls, but drops right back down to 205° afterwards.
Now if a trans cooler could reduce heat load from the coolant or transfer heat...
I haven't felt the need for an upgraded trans cooler? Temps seem to be pretty consistent and only climb a couple of degrees on hard climbs, towing heavy, and in temps over 100°?
I feel like if I was given a trans cooler for free, I would never install it?
Yes, that's it. pre/post (can't remember which line goes through the aux cooler first) cool water that is superheated from transferring heat from the oil.
