    Where to get cross bars for roof rack

    I had a locksmith make a key to unlock for removal, that was over $50. Will sell for 100.00 if you're interested. It also came with a kayak carrier unit. PM me if you're interested.

    Recommendations for a decent winter tire.

    The Blizzak's would be better compared directly to the Hakkapaliita's (dedicated winters) Here's a great video that made me squirmy about any all seasons. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=e1i9AJyMOEk BUT, because I spend so much on highways that are slushy I thought it...

    What did you do to your GMT today?

    I feel defiled. They say they do shrink with age.

    What did you do to your GMT today?

    Had mechanic change transfer case, front diff, transmission fluid and encoder motor. Got my Dr Colorchip so fixed the little chips in hood, front bumper and road rash in front of back wheel wells. Very satisfied with the hood chips. I think I'm going to have a detailer work on the wheel...

    Recommendations for a decent winter tire.

    I love the Hakk's, don't know much about Nordman (looking into it) and think the WRG2's are nice too with snow symbol that they call an all weather tire which would do much better on Minneapolis high speed dry pavement that I drive a lot of the time in winter. BUT .. I can't for the life of me...

    Purchasing? Used 2006 9-7x, some things found w/independent inspection.

    I usually buy cars/trucks still in warranty so this is a first for me. Maybe I'll be a lucky one anyway LOL I purchased an aftermarket encoder motor for 180 w/lifetime warranty. Five bottles of Dex VI, two bottles of AutoTrac II, Tranny Pan/Filter and Air Filter I had my mechanic do this...
