Off-Roading Trail Finds

Hey gang!! New to this forum and really excited about my 2025 taco coming in a couple months as a factory order. I have (as most of us have) seen the thread about the aluminum top plate located in the front shocks breaking when off-roading, possibly due to a new design that eliminated the external bump stops on the 24’+ Tacos. Now I do believe Bilstein addressed the issue, stating that their bump stops are now built-in the actual shocks. My question is, if I decide to add the aftermarket Icon top plate, in the event of bottoming out and cracking the aluminum part by Toyota, would Icon reinforcement plate “transfer” the load to a more important part like a control arm, thus potentially causing more expensive damage? Or is the Icon plate a cheap and effective preventative measure, “solving” the potential issue? Any advice is welcome and greatly appreciated!!

Anyone use trail apps for off-roading? I have been using onX Offroad app and it's great! It gives difficulty levels and locations. There are a few things that are difficult when using the app such as the map and route when shown on the screen, and I wish it would give the entire trail when off-roading. Interested to hear if you all have tried the onX Offroad app, or if you guys use a different one? Definitely willing to try out different off-roading apps. Any recommendations?
