Icon rear resi blown

[TacoBueno]

I just have to vent.......

Noticed my 06 Tacoma riding a little funny (not funny ha ha) today.... Got to work and looked at the rear suspension and found a nice big puddle of shock oil on the ground from the passenger rear along with a nice spray all over the axle, rear wheel etc.... DAMN! I bought IVD resi coils from the front and resi rears back in early June from Wheeler's (Great people over there), so I called down to Icon and got a tech on the phone.... He was really sorry for the misfortune but it looks like they won't have a replacement for 2-weeks due to not having stock. DAMN! AGAIN! I shot an email out to wheeler's to get the ball rolling - Not open on Friday - so a phone call will be going out on Monday. I just hope I don't damage anything driving on this for the next 3-weeks! Fortunately not a front coil.... CHRIST! I haven't even had a chance to take them off road yet! I know that sometimes $hit happens, I just wish I wouldn't happen to me so much. Especially from a shock that's 200+ dollars! I need a drink... something heavily alcohol ladden and maybe straight from the bottle...

All in all - Icon will most likely honor their warranty and replace the shock - Wheeler's will most likely bend over backwards to fix the problem - I will be out another 200 bucks until the shock is checked out by Icon to make sure no foul play was involved - I will suffer a hang-over tomorrow and get odd stares from people seeing my truck bouncing down the highway....

I'll shut up now...Thanks for listening...
