What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

Are those BFGS really 285 75 17? Don't look that big to me and I don't think you can get AT KO2 in that size. The Icon lift love the is great!

So I love the look you get with that wider stance. I have pretty much the same setup without the spacers. Do the wheels still fit up into the Wells or do they stick out too much to fit in there?

I haven't had any issues rubbing on the fender flares yet but I don't really get out to see if my wheels are tucked in or not while we're wheeling. I have a pic from Sunday that shows it a little.

Might go again this Saturday to a different area. I'll see if I can tuck it somewhere and turn at full lock.

I was there last weekend, at CVT none the less as well! There is a ton of riding off of HWY 372 west of Bend. I rode a trail called Funner and Tiddleywinks. Really good riding. (See photo of Funner on my above post) All of the bike shops are really helpful for finding rides, but I would recommend picking up a map at a shop, and using the MTB Project app while you are up there.

Good luck!

Was there a campsite close by any of those trails?

That back right tire looks like it has to be tucked up under the fender. Thanks for posting this pick. I think the offset was 10 mm on my rims as well. I my have to do the spider Tracks. The front looks like it may rub when all the way up. Doesn't look like it was an issue for you though.

So Icon finally sent me all the parts and this finally happened today! Icon Stage 7, TRD wheels and BFG 285/75/R17 AT2's, looks great, rides better! Can't wait to take it out!

File a full report after the test drive. Better yet, stop by my shop sometime, I'm just across the river. Would love to see this in person. Well done.

Will do! Shoot me a PM and let me know where your shop is at and I'll swing by. 2016's budget is an undercover winch mount and a Warn Zeon 10-S installed behind the grill. Building it for sand, snow and exploration.

Keep going out on the highway, past Mt. Bachelor. There is camping along the highway out there, Sparks Lake, Lava Lake, Devils lake, etc. Check with the NFS office in Bend for campsite closures. Also, you can easily do some dispersed camping on the NFS land.

I'll look into that, thank you.
I was planning to bring the family as well, was thinking if its super close wherej I can camp and ride to the trail and do an early ride before they wake up. =)

Put a Viair 480 under the hood. 100% duty cycle at 200 PSI. Still need to wire it.

***100% @ 100 PSI (50% @ 200 PSI)

Are you running a tank with that c type compressor?

No tank. And you're right about the specs.

I like it. I have the 4 bike model but they also have a 6-bike version. I dig the way it holds the bikes vertically--keeps them out of the way when driving off road and is very well-made.

Had a Thule T2 for years but my kids are big enough now that they want their bikes on the trips we take so needed a rack that would hold more than 4 bikes.
Buying the Thule extension (to add 2 more bikes) is more expensive than the North Shore and sticks out way too far especially if you're planning to do any off roading with bikes on the truck.

The North Shore is not as versatile and doesn't work with road bikes (or even non-suspension forks) as the rack hooks into the space around the fork crown but I don't road bike so it works well for my needs.

Cheers and here's a link to their site:

North Shore Bike Racks

Thanks--We primarily mtnbike, too. Were out in Bend summer of 2014 for a trip. Good to know about the rack limitations.

Kicked over 30k early this morning, only had the truck a year and a half. Adding miles rapidly now commuting from one city to the next.

No problem! Really, you cannot go wrong in that area. Here's a link to my ride:

I love it ...

Wraith, built for use! My build is geared toward sand, snow and PNW back roads so I also went with the 300lb overland springs, SS shin guards to protect the shock shafts and hydraulic bump stops just "incase" I get air at the dunes! I'm still healing up from a second right quad tendon surgery so it will be a bit before I can really break her in but the build is coming along nicely! I really appreciate reading all the build threads for ideas, I have to admit your rig is one of the rigs I really liked on the forum and used for inspiration! Looking forward to seeing the use/progression. Undercover winch mount and Warn Zeon 10-S will probably be my next project. Happy Trails!
