Not to start a dreaded poutine argument , but a true poutine is in the sauce (no it is not gravy it is a sauce) and the use of fresh cheddar cheese curds.

Back on topic. Going to go out and clean it and the other car in the driveway off so I can clean the snow off the driveway. then i am going to break out the drill and drill out the second stripped hole in the steering wheel and try get that sucker off today. It is chilly today and there is a bit of a breeze making it feel like -6° F, but it needs to get done so I can replace the clock spring.

Well I taught the neighbors some new words. The push buttons on the front doors were froze tight. I finally got the back hatch open crawled in and finally got the driver door open. I miss my Suburban auto start it even turned on the heated seats.

Haha i know that feeling, i just got back to driving my jeep after spending a month driving a fully loaded 2000 bravada, heated seats IFS towing package and just a nice vehicle, now i drive my loud clinky clunky big jeep with a drivers side door the struggles to close at times and the fan only works at lower settings in the cold, but i love it.

I jammed a snowblower into the back of my XJ. Oh and discovered that it had been in an accident I wasn't aware of when I opened the rear passenger door.

I don't have the heated seats in my XJ, but do have the remote start. Unfortunately my DD doesn't have remote start because it's a stick shift. When it's extra cold, I drive the XJ anyway, just for the remote start.

I didn't think wheels could turn that fast on the BQE

I'm still blown away it got here in one piece... The guy literally stuck it back in the box, taped it up and shipped it.

On another note, got a couple photos of the Comanche I tentatively agreed to buy... feeling better about dragging it halfway across the country now.

heated seats are easy and cheap to put in, also I thought you could put remote start in a manual.

Shops can't/won't because of liability. The NSS prevents an auto from starting in gear, but remote start on a manual could cause it to start moving without any occupants

What is that square bar down there? home made or some factory? stabilizer bar bolted to it (or will it bolt to it)?
