Maybe this is a no -brainer, but should I be risking my whole tournament here? I do have him covered but I'd be crippled.
But any pair and I'm flipping. And there's the limper still to act. I don't really get ICM, but have been trying to avoid CALLING off my stack late, lately.
is this a def. call?

As has been said, you're too far from the money to worry about the bubble. It's also more or less irrelevant which place you're currently in. You're crushing the shover's range, so this is a very comfortable call. The limper is almost guaranteed to fold, so there's no need to worry about that player. Just get it in and enjoy being up against AT/AJ/AQ/KQ a decent portion of the time, or winning some flips against pocket pairs.

OK makes sense. Thanks for doing the percentages there, those ranges look fairly resonable. GOod to know this is a 100% GII no doubt. Overall I think this is an area where I am usually too tight when calling (I do shove better, but prob still not wide enough) which leads me cash a lot but never have a big stack at FT's. I should be getting it in, in these situations where I am crushing V's range, and not worrying about getting to FT whatever so much. Go big or go home (if my range is winning) basically. Lotta luck needed in these tourneys, I need to embrace it.
FWIW, This V showed K3s and turned his 3 to cripple me. So I just needed to know it was the right thing to do. I made a note on him and moved on. Thanks guys very helpful.
