Still available!

Bump! Taking pics today. Stand by.

Here you go. Tried to spray them off/wipe them down a tad to show they are mainly just dirty, but couldn't get in there very easily with them still mounted. Some cosmetic damage to the black paint on the coils from rocks and road debris, but hey that's why they are $450 instead of $1149. Still very much rebuildable!

TitanmediC · 11-05-2012, 08:19 AM

BUMP. Ordering some replacements either today or tomorrow so they are coming off the truck soon. I will get them nice and cleaned up when I take them off and snap a couple better photos. C'mon people!

What leads you to believe that the need a rebuild? Is there fluid leaking out of the coilover? Bad handling over bumps? Just wanted to know.

Coil overs should be rebuilt every 2 years. The oil goes bad and they slowly lose their nitrogen charge

They might need a N2 recharge every few/several years, but I call BS on a rebuild every two. IMHO

Just manufacture recommendations. For coil over company's who sell DIY kits it would be no big deal, but icon does not do this. They must be shipped to their warehouse for rebuild

NorCal 4x4 · 11-19-2012, 02:13 AM

Yep for Icon it's $250 a pair minimum plus shipping each way. My DRe's are are 5 years old and have around 100K miles on them and are holding the N2 fine. Couple years back I thought one was leaky but it turned out to be fine. Although my commute has a series of 12 foot whoops, I know that some might need a rebuild sooner, but not at two years, especially with most of them seeing nothing but freeway and maybe a fire road once in a while.

Still have these?

TitanmediC · 11-20-2012, 09:04 PM

Yep. Just took them off. Going to get them cleaned up a little and snap some more pics.

ok so I didn't really put too much effort into cleaning these but you get the idea. 20 minutes per shock will have these things looking great. $350 takes them. Merry Christmas!

Seriously I freakin loved these shocks. I have my new saws preload set as low as possible and they still don't ride as smoothly as these did. Considered having these rebuilt and putting them back on and reselling the saws but I'm over it.

Thor, I meant $350 plus shipping. My saws that just came from Illinois to my doorstep in Arizona cost about $50 via USPS if I remember correctly. Ill have to find a box similarly sized and get a quote or we can just call it $400 shipped. If its more than $50 for shipping then merry Christmas!
