How long have those Icon delta joints lasted for you?

I’ve had em on for 3 years, no issues yet. Planning to get rid of em soon.

That seems like a pretty long life.
What arms are you changing to?

Probably gonna go with a total chaos or a camburg with a dual shock

Threw a king coilover and a btf upper on it.
Race radio and a new steering wheel. Up next is a secondary bypass. plans now are just a proper mid travel kit that i can beat the shit out of.

I’ve been wanting to put a set of Mastercraft Baja RS or reclining Corbeau seats like you have in my 3rd gen 4Runner, but I’ve always wondered if the lower lumbar area is more comfortable on these seats than the factory ones. How are road trips 2+ hours at a time in those Corbeau seats?

theyre pretty comfy on long trips, i would definetely opt for the inflatable lumbar shit which i didnt get

front end handles like a champ. Rear needs work. Ordered some 2.0 x 10 smoothies to throw in the rear. Here’s some shitty photos from the neighborhood jump
