It's been pretty useful on mine. It collects anywhere from 1-2oz of oil every 2000-3000 miles in the summer. It fill up faster in the winter with water since I have a short commute. I'm sure i would catch even more with one of the newer cans from UPR or RX.

Sick truck man! Your build has just convinced me to get the 5100's set at the 3rd notch (don't want to drop the money on the sweet icons you have) have duratracs.

Thanks man and good luck with the Bilsteins.



Took some more pics recently and got some rock lights and Quad LED Pods from Olympus Off Road. Probably won't be installed until November.

Chris,

I'm glad that I found your thread; you've got a great truck and your build is perfect. I have a 2014 F150 crew cab and I'm thinking about upgrading the suspension to the same front Icon 2.5 Coilovers and rear 2.0 shocks. I live in the mountains in CO and I'm curious if you noticed any damping difference in the Icons when the temperature drops?

I use to have a set of Kings on my last truck. If it was below 32 degrees the Kings offered zero travel. I mean literally zero damping ability resulting in a ride so bad my wife wouldn't ride in the truck.

I've sent an email to Icon asking about "cold weather" performance but I never received a reply. Any feedback that you could provide would be helpful.

Thanks,

Eric

Awesome truck Chris! ....man you take some really good photos by the way! I like the one with your truck in the middle of the road over the double yellow lines. The fall one in-between the power lines you posted above ^ looks awesome too. Reminds me of a few power line trails in my area.

Thanks man.

Got a few things to install in the next couple weeks. ICON Neoprene Shock Wraps, Ford 100 Series Remote Start, and also still have the LED pods to install.

So, just some newer pics for now.
