ICON, DMZ & CAMBURG REVIVE AN FJ CRUISER
Tim Duncan of DMZ Fab expected a battered FJ to arrive when his Customer Andy Co told him his 2008 FJ would be delivered on a flat bed. Fortunately for the FJ it was going to be in the hands of one of So Cal’s finest Toyota builders. Camburg Engineering’s 3.5″ Over FJ Kit Nets 14″ of wheel travel when combined with ICON Vehicle Dynamics 2.5″ Shock designed to fit on the FJ Platform. When decisions were being made it was clear Andy wanted the best of the best, and nothing else will do. Camburg Engineering’s 3.5″ Wider Long Travel Kit was retained because of their highly reputable product line proven to be winners in some of the harshest desert races out there. ICON Vehicle Dynamics 2.5″ Coilovers were 1st on the short list of shock competitors. With ICON’s world re-known ride quality proven on a multitude of platforms, Andy knew there was NO other choice for him and his FJ. ICON Vehicle Dynamics’ Billet Upper and Lower Links, Adjustable Track Bar and 2.5″ Shocks give this FJ the means to keep the rear end as capable as the front. With ICON Vehicle Dynamics’ roots trenched in epic battles won and lost in the heart of Baja and proven in the rolling rocks of Moab, their rear Billet Upper and Lower Links, Adjustable Track Bar and 2.5″ V.S. Series shocks were going to be the only BOLT ON rear suspension company that could keep up with the long travel front suspension. The billet links are machined out of aircraft grade aluminum and the use of heims and high strength bushings free up suspension allowing more wheel travel and a ride quality matched by none! Andy’s FJ was needing some serious love and a fresh breath of life! 6″ Drop brackets removed; shock spacers removed. Camburg FJ Long Travel Re-Installed; 2.5″ ICON Vehicle Dynamics front and rear shocks installed: This FJ is destined for greatness with the MIDAS touch from Tim at DMZ Fab! This FJ Owner Is All Smiles Now!

BILLET ADDITIONS – THE FORD RAPTOR
Having an “in-house” machine shop has it benefits: quick turn around, material supplies on hand, and products that have a fit and finish like no other. In our non-stop push to cover the Raptor completely in ICON parts we don’t over look any aspect, and know that looks and the ability to handle abuse are key factors in our customers decision to run ICON Vehicle Dynamics equipment! Digital measuring devices in the R&D Lab give the product development team the coordinates needed to make parts that can be duplicated in Solid Works. Once in Solid Works, data collected can be placed into detailed SEMA frame files straight from Ford, allowing the engineers to cycle suspension and make minute changes to certain suspension curves to obtain a more stable and predictable vehicle. Sometimes the easiest task in creating new parts is drawing them in the computer. When this arm is compared to the 3d model, the sheer luster and beauty cannot be portrayed as eloquently as this. Holding the parts in your hand makes you appreciate what a skilled CNC Machinist can do. With numerous events around the corner, we plan on having all of our new Ford Raptor parts ready for the start of the desert season. Check back for more updates as our Raptor gets more shocks, bumpers, and a fresh new outside look!
