Swapped in the winter tires tonight. Brrrrrrrr....Hope to get feeling back in my fingers soon.
I can't imagine swapping out winter/summer sets. 22s year-round here
What did you do to your FX / QX70 today?

I don't mind the so much. It gives me an excuse to have a second set of wheels to play with.

That's a really good point lol.
Well, I swap out of my 24s into my 20s winter setup. While at it, I also did some PM to the coilovers. I use a tooth brush, clean off the road dirt, and rub a liberal coat of grease round the thread and ring in hoping to prevent the winter salt corrosion and seize it if I ever need to adjust the height in the future.
Make sure you put some insulation into the walls and a wall mounted ventless heater (mine runs natural gas). I have to say that the heater makes working on car in the winter months so much more fun. I was using a fairly decent size electric portable heater with a blower fan in it. That is not comparison with this wall mounted ventless natural gas heater!

Andy, I highly recommend this product called LPS3 for protecting your coilovers. http://www.lpslabs.com/product_pg/corrosion_pg/LPS3.html.
We used it at the Nuclear complex I worked at for protecting some parts for long time storage. I also have used it around home on parts. I also recommended it to a few friends on another site for their coilovers and they were very satisfied with the results.t.
Thanks Soon, your tails turned out awesome...
^ nice, should be very shiny fx butt...

Amen to that, did mine first thing Saturday morning..both our cars. Now if it could just kindly snow to substantiate the money I spent on the tires, the swap, and the storage of my other tires I would appreciate it. =)

Very nice.... your paint looks like it has a coat of glass over it... those tails look great on that color.

Thank you, I just washed it couple of hours before it + wax....
Had my tpms reset at Fox Nissan in Grand Rapids, MI. Took five minutes and when I went to pay they just told me "Merry Christmas!"
Great people there and great facilities!

I'm gonna kick your ass if I found out you passed my area without visiting me on your way to Grand Rapids. I assume you had your car transported directly from NY to GR.
