Started the hitch install last night. Got it all taken apart, and have a bumper and other misc parts on the kitchen floor. Plan is to get it all back together tonight. Pretty straightforward, though the factory instructions are horrible. Thank heavens for various threads here. Only problem was getting the T55 bolts all the way out. Had a heck of a time getting them past the indentation in the bumper.
Winter wheels came in today- TSW Vortex 18x9 et45. I'm mounting 255/55-18 Hankook IceBears on them. Hopefully I find time tomorrow to get to my favorite tire store to mount up before the next snowfall. Have 15mm H&R spacers for the rear to space them out for an offset comparable to the 19" sport rear wheels.
BSW Sirius hardware to arrive tomorrow so that will be tomorrow night's project. Then the first road trip this weekend. Chicago to northeastern PA, then back with a UHaul. Gotta break in the new toys.
