    Any thoughts on the Bilstein 5100 Shocks or Icon stage 1?

    Im running too open country at3's. great tire. did pretty well in the mud and in my opinion better that the mud tire for everything else except the kind of mud you look at and wonder how far you go before you HAVE to winch. I am running at3's on my f250 overlanding / towing truck. Toyo...

    Any thoughts on the Bilstein 5100 Shocks or Icon stage 1?

    you can rebuild the 5160's but not the 5100's, Bilstein has a rebuild service but the cost makes replacement make more sense.. 5160's are remote res. and you can rebuild them. if you've never rebuilt a shock.. its not all that hard.. but not all that fun either.

    using 5160's on 2018 ford f250 with a Carli 2.5 system. love them. can't see a reason to go to 2.5 kings really. not for overlanding at least.

    What f350 suspension system?

    How are the Icon's working for you? I'm running Bilstein 5160 that seems to work fine for this application. but am looking at all the other options.

    What is it with axes?

    Tomahawk is a better combat weapon... but there are a few combo axes marketed as tomahawks. but a modern hawk should be out of d2 tool steel or better. I had a handle shatter once on one that wasn't... be careful

    What is it with axes?

    I use truckers gloves that I buy one size too small. that I soak in water then put them on and stretch them to fit... and then work them so they dry. after that... they stick to anything.

    What is it with axes?

    I go both ways when it comes to gloves. and my hands are like stones. lol. but I do prefer to wear truckers gloves when I work a shovel or pull brush.

    What is it with axes?

    Axe, vintage "Jeep" shovel, both with oak handles over 60 years old... bring a wedge, and a 5lbs mini-sledge. I've used the axe to chop trees, roots, break up soil etc.. the Jeep shovel moves more dirt than a D9 Doser in the right hands. the wedge and mini are for splitting wood. these...
