Good to know and definitely something to consider. I guess you always run some type of risk running aftermarket anything these days. In any case, it's all a learning process. Pretty funny though, we just ordered a stage 4 for our 2014 TE.

I really like Icon, but the quality seems to not last the test of time anymore. <br />TimSOAZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18076822932624214455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695775465427147821.post-63234610106135838412016-07-16T18:13:14.132-07:002016-07-16T18:13:14.132-07:00Damn, impressive set-up(s).

The red bezel comes off so I just used a polishing wheel to take the thin layer of red anodizing off. Those were great lights. Never had any issues and a lot of light for the price.

Lo...Whoa. This was *that* kind of trip. Way cool. <br /><br />Looking forward to crossing paths with you in person one of these days. Preferably on dirt, right? <br /><br />Ran into a bunch of LCs up on FR300 north of Payson this past weekend, but don't think any were silver like yours. <br /><br />Wonder if dude in Scottsdale Airpark area recalls seeing a little black Pajero with orange race stripes in the area. I used to work up there up until about 4 months ago.

Your blog has opened my mind up to this great state and the surrounding areas. It has also helped me build my rig. I was the guy asking about the icon suspension via Craig. Anyway, congrats to you both! Btw, if you spot a white 3rd gen with arb bumper, snorkel and rear tire carrier zooming around the Scottsdale airpark that is me. All the best.

When you cruise these routes, do you do so in air conditioned luxury? How does this option impact the adventure?<br /><br />2. Your Land Cruiser appears far more prepared than my little Pajero. Does this adventure require lockers, lifts, et al?<br /><br />3. How long ought one plan on such a trip taking so as not to be rushed?<br /><br />Thanks for sharing. Always enjoy your pictures and stories.
