I am trying to use a checkbox to make my font awesome icon trigger the menu icon to open and close the menu (which is how I want it to be design wise) when the screen is in mobile view.

Thanks in advance for any help.

CSS modification:

The font-awesome library overrides your CSS. That is why your menu-icon (.fa-bars) wouldn't hide when not in mobile mode.

I made following corrections to your CSS:

  1. Changing .fa-bars to .fas.fa-bars
  2. Adding !important in mobile mode
    (to show always when media break-point (... and (max-width: 600px))
/*** Navigation ***/
.fas.fa-bars {
  display: none;
}

@media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {
  .fas.fa-bars {
    font-size: 20px;
    display: block !important;
    float: right;
    margin-top: 10px;
    margin-right: 40px;
    cursor: pointer;
  }
}

Click event handler on checkBox:

Also, if you want functionality to your checkbox, then you would have to add an event-handler in JS and add the onClick=function() in your HTML (and correct the issue of the multiple assigned id as mentioned in comments: I replaced id="nav-toggle" with id="nav-toggle-bars" for the <i class="fas fa-bars" element).

Following complete code for you to Run code snippet and comment if this is your desired outcome (please advise).

Expand to "full-page" and change your browser width to see effect
below media break-point (... and (max-width: 600px))

const menuToggle = document.getElementById("nav-toggle-bars");
let menuCheckBox;

function showHideNavToggle(event) {
  menuCheckBox = event.target;
  if (menuCheckBox.checked) {
    menuToggle.style.display = "block";
  } else {
    menuToggle.style.display = "none";
  }
}

Note:
I also corrected 2 html closing tags (one </div> eliminated and </h4> closing tag corrected and replaced img source with a link to a generic blue background)

See this response in codepen. https://codepen.io/threefingers/pen/PojZMpx

Add in your ::before element icon, the code icons in your states.

.mydiv{
  background-color: blue;
  height: 50px;
  width: 50px;
}

input + .mydiv::before{
  content: 'code icon 1';
}

input:checked + .mydiv::before{
  content: 'code icon 2';
}
<input type="checkbox" value="Car"> I have a car 
<div class="mydiv"></div>
