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

[jaemz]

Washed Big Red and test fit my new Yakima roof trays. Bonus pic of my race team sticker.

1up. They have a bunch of iterations. I converted a roof tray to hitch using their adapter. Great product and very flexible. Anything from 1 to 4 bikes is doable and mine even allows the tray to be roof mounted if I want.

I’m running a CAAD12 Ultegra for road, Slate for gravel, bad habit for trail, scalpel for XC, and 4 other Cannondales for family ride around bikes. Haha

Added the Rhino Pioneer fairing to knock down the wind noise. Made it worse! Looking at images I thought I could just place it more forward so the wind would go up and over the rack, you know “wind deflector” . Not possible with the design, it creates an under cut area in front that creates more noise. Terrible. I think wind noise should be addressed as a priority during roof rack development not an after thought. I have had racks with fairings for 30 years, the fairing always made a huge improvement. Guess I will have to design my own. Likely one that starts at the roof and goes up and over the rack to also provide wind deflection for stuff I will have on the rack, skis, RTT, etc.

The only other idea I had to salvage this purchase would be not to use the channel mounting and to take the arms and the mount and drill holes on the leading edge of the rack underside to mount them and get the fairing in front of the rack. This would require me to remove the rack, so not super excited about that option.

It's hard to tell from your pic but is there a gap between the actual roof and the bottom lip of the fairing? If so, that may be where the noise is being generated as well, like a whistle.

If there is a gap, try a bulb seal. Worked great on mine.

Installed Baja Designs Squadron Sport WC fog lights.

Looks great but please remember that these are not fog lights, and shouldn't be used on the road or in actual fog conditions at all.

It does come with some rubber bumpers to protect the paint. Compressed maybe 1mm gap. It is a lot of wind noise so I don’t think that small gap is it. It may be part of the problem? Yakima and Thule fairings have small gaps on theirs. Also in the photo I could not get the edge corners to touch.

Designed a new fairing yesterday that starts at the roof and goes up and over the rack sticking up 7” from the rack for gear on top. Had an engineering drawing printed out to scale and bought some paper board to test the shape. Hardware to mount up the test mule arrives tomorrow.

Have you tried to buy the hood from anywhere else? Was it and easy swap and install? Thanks

Nice. Hope the final result works for you.

Just want to say thanks! I just did this and I would say this is the best under $10 mod (I would say it might be one of the best mods ever). It's so great. Been annoyed at the dark dash when I've got my headlights on during the day for rain, and this fixes that.
Took about 2 mins.

And thanks go out to [MENTION=121438]arehman11[/MENTION] and [MENTION=118321]Jetboy[/MENTION] for bringing this mod to our attention in another thread last month.

bought a 2017 orp a couple days ago. anker roav s1 w mirror tap micro usb.

Do you have a link for this setup? Thanks,

 

[ronnyballgame]

I bought it.

 

[Louisiana Overland]

Tell me about the new shoes, please! I am in the market for some and like the look.

Thanks.

I cant verify thr tires but it looks like the same wheel I have. SCS Ray 10 17x9 3.5” backspce -38 offset. Its a great looking wheel but at least for me required some work to fit. Some trimming. Remove mud flap. Body Mount Chop. I have 3” lift, SPC upper control arms, and 285/70 BFG KO2.

 

[Daikon]

Finished installing the new suspension (I did the front last week and the rear this past weekend along with an alignment and micro adjustments for height)

 

[OCTT4R]

Drove from Atlanta to Wilmington, NC

How easy or difficult was the install?

Nice lift!!! Looks like you have kings. What UCA did you install?

Yep. I went with Camburg Ball Joint UCA's. Happy with it!

 

[sato_toguchi]

New wheels and tires are on. Went with SCS Stealth 6 in Matte Grey and slightly larger 275/70/17 Falken Wildpeak AT3/W tires. Contemplating swapping out my Wheelers T13 rear springs for Icon 2" for a skosh more lift, and then cranking the front up to level it out.

Thanks for the help. Would you do the same 9" or would you go with 8.5"?

Appreciate your help.
