They do make everything sound better. There has been tests that show slight increases. Don’t get an oiled one. Use the factory filter or an oilers one. Oh did I mention I like the throatier sound mine gave the truck. I think the biggest gain will be seen with an exhaust. They factory ones are much better now than the ones in the past. You could always just get the tube that replaces the factory one and it frees up space makes the engine compartment look better, oh and sounds better.

I think I covered the topic. Mine is a coolant MIT Kit with the non oiled drop in filter.

Do you have a boxed in intake or an open one? I dont know the lingo haha

I'm interested about the noise.... I was curious about whether it makes the engine run better and if theres any mpg gain? I've been looking at the corsa sport line for awhile for exhaust

No updates so far, still saving money..... never ends...

Also, going on vacations and stuff cuts into it. Having fun while I can!

Honestly the rack is dope, the only trouble I have with rtt's is that I cant drive anywhere after I have my camp set up but that's just me. Leitner is dope!

Yes right now I'm going back and forth and see pro's con's to both. I like being able to drive w/o packing up, but hate trailers. RTT on the truck is more stable. I've been toying with replacing my current RTT to a clamshell, so its quicker to close up.

That's ****in sweet, maybe try some stabilizers with quick release pins on the trailer to help with stability? I domt know I'm just a noob. I know the tents are heavy as dicks though. I dont know how much you camp but does the tent on top really effect the mpgs? If it's a daily I'm sure that gets tiring

Quite honestly, I don't pay attention to MPG, I have a full size truck, I don't expect it to be great lol. Maybe? I don't notice it when its on the truck.

I have these for the trailer that helps immensely:

but the truck doesnt move as much as the trailer when you are trying to shimmy down to use the bathroom =)

Sorry I have the Airraid MIT system. It keeps the stock air box and replaces the tube between the air box and throttle body. I have had cone filters before and they just get dirty quick.

Sweet, I think a guy I watch on YouTube did an install of that system so I'll have to watch it again! Thanks dawg!

Hows everyone doing? I havnt done anything with the truck in awhile

Maybe I'll hit some trails, I've been real busy and havnt had much spare cash to make the dream work. This picture is from a couple weekends ago where it had rained for a good amount of time and as soon as I get out there the sun came out. Also, my drls are good, just the camera.

Ducky · June 15, 2019

Work has me busy, hoping to get out camping in the next week or two..

Does anyone have experience with fox shocks? I know there are threads on here already but I just want a quick answer and not have to read 20plus replies on why and why not. I have been looking into an icon stage one, but if I could save like $500 and get the same performance from fox, I'll do that? Thanks guys

They're just as good as the rest of them, the valving will be a little bit different but I'd be willing to bet most people wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Does the $500 less include rear shocks too?

Icon sells the stage one kit as a complete set up around $1800. Fox sells it all separate, and all together is around $500 less than icon. But the site I'm looking at has free shipping on the complete setup from icon.

I know icon has different valving and all that science, but would I have to rebuild them sooner than fox? Will they last longer?

They'll be the same reliability/rebuild wise

In your opinion is it worth it to just get the icon complete kit?

Fox is a far more renown name in suspension. From bicycles to airplanes. If both sets are comparable as is shock body size, and reservoir set up, I would probably go Fox even if they were priced the same. I can still get Fox parts to rebuilt shocks on a 1996 Polaris snowmobile, will you be able to get Icon parts in 23 years? Not like you will have the truck or shocks by then but just a thought to consider.
