Today, if I could have any part I wanted I would get:

Icon Coilover shocks for the Project NISMO Frontier


Icon Vehicle Dynamics is made up of the good folks that used to work under the Donahoe Suspension brand. Please Note* The employees that worked under the Donahoe Suspension name had nothing to do with the mismanagement of the company nor had any connection to the allegations currently surrounding Craig Donahoe.They simply and unknowingly fell victim to sad circumstances surrounding their place of work.

Turning a new page in their careers many of Donahoe's former talent sought out new opportunities in the off-road industry. One of such resulted in the new shock company Icon Vehicle Dynamics.

Icon took what they learned over the years at Donahoe Racing and added to it, creating high-quality shock absorbers that can easily stand up to the rigors of desert racing.

Our Project NISMO Frontier has been in our stables for almost 3 years now. In it's hay day the rig was lifted 5-inches over stock, had 33-inch Toyos, Calmini Bumpers, JBA exhaust and a AEM cold air intake. The unmistakable vinyl wrap was reminiscent of the Art Scmitt CORR Pro 4 graphic treatment.

At her greatest...

Today the truck is almost back to stock except for a slightly bent front Calmini bumper, Light Racing Jounce Shocks and a TJM snorkel.

How she looks today

Currently the truck is slated to go back to Nissan in October, sadly to be crushed. That's what happens to preproduction vehicles that cannot be sold to the general public.

In any case, I wish for the sake of getting a little more mileage out of the rig, I would like to install and test out a set of Icon's new coilover shocks designed exclusively for the Nissan Frontier.
