I did that defrost a/c unplug trick & blocked off most part of my radiator. Hoping my gas mileage will get better with easier warm up on doing short trips. And of course slapped my snow tires back on earlier this month.

What did u guys do to your cars?

 

I put a fresh coat of Rain-X on the windshield. It only rains here in the winter.

 

I did nothing to it..got myself a winter beater!!

 

I put back my oem hood and brought Beng's set of 17 " Rays with 4 seasons before I left for CHina/Vietnam, back on 25th this month.

 

Bought an 87 4Runner :ninja:

 

installed my oem rims, gave it a good wash and stored it in my garage for hibernation.

 

I put Rain - X
that's all

 

You guys know where I can get tires mounted and balanced for cheap? I'm thinking of buying winter tires online and using my oem steelies.

 

i went to groundzero
100 for all 4

 

Rain X work well with snow?

Thanks Jordy for the info!

is that 15"
or 16" snow tires?

 

They have a few sizes so you just gotta pick what you want. I went with the basic 175/65/14.

 

I put my snows tires on, installed some mudflaps, washed, clay barred, and waxed it.

Edit: I also put in my weathertech floor mats and put on a set of aftermarket frameless wipers.

 

i concur, must get snow tires, the factory a/s is JUNK in the snow.

 

I wore winter coat and gloves yesterday. Does that count as preparing?

Oh got my snows on as well. Must put second set of mats in. They are a bit deeper and I just overlay on stock ones.

 

i took the motor out

 

I will unfortunately have Eric come over and help me remove the Seibon CF hood and put the stocker back on. Then it will be a trip to the tire place for the ICW racing rims to come off and the stocker back on. Ugh! I hate winter and putting the car back to stock.
