No it doesn't. i've heard it helps though. It hasn't bothered me to the point where I've felt the need to modify it.

Haven't done much to the truck lately as everything has been working well. Icon's have continued to perform after 27,000 miles of use. I'm guessing they are over due for a service since 7000ish of those miles have been offroad. I
Here's a couple up to date picks from this weekend.

How are you liking the tire choice? I think this may be the way I go when I replace the stockers.

Did you pull the wrap off too? What's going on over there? Truck looks amazing anyway!

For an MT, they hold up pretty well to chunking. I have roughly 1100 offroad miles on them and they still look good. I can still slide relatively well with them but sometimes they almost have 2 much traction. The Falken wildpeaks were much better in that regard. For that reason, I'll either go back to the wild peaks or try another AT next time around. You can't go wrong with them though.
Thanks! Gordon and I are no longer part of RE. Story best told over a beer but RE will continue and I'm sure members will still have an awesome experience. I'm focusing on doing my own thing for now.
In other news, I'm currently in between jobs and don't start work until April 13th. I've got a strong itch to do something I ordinarily wouldn't be able to do due to time constraints. Utah and AZ have been on my list for sometime so I think I'm going to head out the week of the 6th. I've began mapping my route and it looks like it will end up being around 500 miles. I'm going to camp most if not all of it and try to get it done in 3 days. The plan so far is:
Day 1 - Start Mesquite NV and head to the Toroweap overlook on the Grand Canyon. From there I'm going to make my way northeast and camp near either Fredonia or Kanab. Roughly 177 miles.
Day 2 - Make my way east towards Alstrom point and then finish in Escalante. Roughly 150 miles.
Day 3 - Make my way east to Bryce Canyon and then southwest where I'll finish in Glendale. Haven't finished mapping but should be around 150.
I think I'll be rolling solo as my friends and family have to work and this is short notice. Aside from leaving a route behind, I will be borrowing Gordon's spot tracker and sat phone should I run into any trouble. Super excited about this trip but a bit nervous as it will be my first solo. I will be going at a slower pace compared to when I go out with a group so I'm curious if I'll be able to cover the miles I have routed. If I can't, no worries.

Have fun on your trip! I bet you will cover plenty of ground because the only person you will have to stop for is you!
