Hope to see you out at the meetings next year...

Even stock height is a bit 'low' IMO, especially with the amount of ice that was on the roads yesterday! My front bumper kept hitting the ice that was sticking up from the ground on the smaller streets and parking lots! they're everywhere, totally unavoidable, good thing i don't have a MS bumper or something or I'd be crying.

on a side note, my friend got a MS bumper on his 7 installed last month, and the second day driving it, he rammed it into one of those trailor hitches on the back of a path finder while trying to parallel park, it didn't completely trash his bumper, but it did dent and crack the bumper.

buying used didnt occur to you? I got my dunlop graspic winter tires on steel rims for 300 bucks, they were used 1 season and still in near new condition. I will never understand why people pay so much for tires.

Kijiji and craigslist is your friend!
