ICON Stage 8 - 60k Mile Review & What's Next

The Shock Surplus 2006 Tacoma 4x4 is going under the knife again, getting the suspension gutted for the 5th time. The most recent setup from ICON Vehicle Dynamics featured the 2.5 Coilovers with CDCV adjustable reservoirs, along with 2.5 CDCV reservoir rear shocks, the RXT rear leaf pack (one of the first off the line), and hydraulic bump stops.

What is Easter Jeep Safari? Hello everyone! This April Shock Surplus was lucky enough to attend Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah… and we brought along an EJS first-timer to show him what it’s all about. And, yes, that noob is me, Brandon, so I’m going to tell you all about my experience. First things first, what even is Easter Jeep Safari?
