    On the Vision X Optimus LED light what is the best beam pattern for tailgaters, dumb question but what is a chase light, I like the idea of this for tailgaters but have no clue where the best place to mount it!

    Any input thanks, Nice truck as well brother!

    A chase light is just so your more visible to other people in dusty conditions! So amber is usually best!

    Damn truck is coming along nice!
    How is the 30” s8 in the lower grill? Good spot for lighting? And how’s the rigid bracket? Did you have to remove the bumper to mount it.

    Perfect for an amber bar being down low cutting through dust, and I installed everything with the bumper on!

    Need some opinions from my Tundra Fam!! I'm doing a major suspension overhaul in the next few months.... and i'm slightly torn between two set ups.

    Icon Billet Delta Joint UCA
    Icon 3.0's
    Complete RXT Rear w/ Omega Bypass/ Bump Kit/ and RXT Springs

    TC UCA and LCA
    ADS 3.0's
    Custom Springs, Deaver HD pack or have a local spring company make something
    ADS 2.5" Triples
    ADS Bump Stop Kit when available

    Give me your vote and a reason why!

    ADS set up. I really think your splitting hairs performance wise at that level, so for me it comes to aesthetics. I know probably stupid, but the ADS shocks have the best fit/finish/appearance over the other big names IMO. Not sure about the TC lower arms, I like them, but think the bushings would end up being a pain in the butt.

    I've actually always wanted the TC LCA, which is why i want the TC UCA, my OCD would require them to match, it would bug me to have mismatched control arms lol

    Ha, I get it. Wanted them with my TC uppers as well on my 16, for the exact same reason. Bet they work great as well, but as stated I think the bushings would require frequent attention in that position. I never had the extra cheddar/time to see if they could/would do heims on them. We are close, would like to see whatever you end up doing in person when complete.

    I say ADS/TC/Deaver setup: proven.
    Icon is nice but too new. Not many feedback yet.

    Well the reason i'm draw to Icon is it's all developed to work together (the RXT set up), plus I like brands to match so running all Icon would be good for that battle haha plus SDHQ being 3 miles from my house makes it nice in the off chance an issue arises!

    ADS is a proven race company and I know first hand by riding/driving @TRON that they work hard!!

    Yes! Haha. Honestly do you really need any more performance out of your truck?

    IMO id rather have a pretty mild truck and a toy that you can roll and still get to work the next day haha

    Oh I forsure don't "need" anything more out of my truck haha

    The rear could use some work it's pretty harsh sometimes, but like you said, if I had a maverick x3 who cares how the Tundra rides haha

    Boom chika bow wow



    I havent purchased yet, but spoke with @olsin6 for a good bit of time about this rear set up, and of course the front to match.

    What made you choose ICON over the ADS/Deaver combo? Just for my own wealth of knowledge.

    Icon makes a complete "all in one package", I love the RXT rear end, i've been talking to the Raptor guys as well. I still am not 100% decided, but Icon has my attention. I'm super anal with matching parts and i'm a fan of the icon set up being designed to work together.
