Winter mode yet?

Anyone else in winter mode yet?

I spent my stack of C-T money today on new wipers, Rain-X winter washer fluid and an ice scraper/snow brush. I swaped my CAI for my OEM airbox, put my steelies on, lubed the locks and hinges, rusty ghetto OEM catback goes on sometime this week, and the snows will go on in November. Next oil change I'll probably get the coolent, and brake/clutch fluid changed too.

C'mon Mother Nature, let's see what you got.

Most of the stuff is just maintenance anyway. I thought I might as well do it now while the weather is nice then in Decemeber when it's cold and wet. Suspension is staying on and the exhaust is coming off because I think there is a leak in it somewhere and I found a 1 month old 00 SIR catback for cheap.

Thinking of doing the same, swap out the CAI put back
the 14" alum. wheels and do all the fluids...

Ride height is always a tough decision...

I usually get snow tires in november because I don't want to get stuck when they're all sold out and not coming in for ages.
