I'm looking for a set of 3rd gen tan cloth front seats to replace my horribly cracked leather seats. If anyone has any in good condition they're willing to sell, please let me know. Looking to spend $200-300 depending on condition. Looking mainly in the Denver area, but would be willing to...

I also have the Destination AT's with about 20K on them, and they've been a great tire for me. I was a bit hesitant to buy Firestone with all of the blowout problems they had a few years back, but I bought them because they were the highest rated "On-/Off-Road All-Terrain" tires on Tirerack.com...

x2 on new wires. I had the same problem about 2 months after I put new plugs in. Hooked up some new wires, ran like new, and no more CEL.

Hahaha... That's classic... Looks like a combination of a bad online translator and even worse English speaking/spelling. I'll bet if you called him the conversation would be almost as entertaining as the ad.

x2 for looking out of state. You're not all that far from CO, and there are a ton of 3rd gens around here.

I think the difficulty in downshifting to 1st is normal, at least in my experience. However, 1st is a low enough gear that I never felt like I needed to downshift any lower than 2nd. I've always figured its better to let the brakes take the majority of the wear and tear instead of the...

LOL.... guess the grass is always greener. Colorado weather is pretty hard to beat though... we had 70 degrees just a couple of days ago, and our first big snow storm of the year just before that. When January/February rolls around, I'll be wishing for some warm Arizona/New Mexico winter days.

So I drove home in a raging blizzard last night, and since I'm a dude, and driving in snow is fun, of course I had to aim for all of the drifts/slush piles on the road :D. When I pulled into the garage, the gear shift was stuck in D. I left it over night, hoping it would melt off. It had only...

I am cheap and didn't want to buy a new head unit, so I just bought a cassette tape adapter with the the audio jack for $10. I just leave it in the tape deck all the time, and I ran the wire through the ashtray compartment, and brought it back under the center console, and out of the hole the...

Wow, dude, let me just start of by saying I'm really glad you're okay after that nasty of a wreck. Seatbelt or not, that could have been a lot worse. Okay, now I have to just say that this type of rationalization is a bit of a pet peeve of mine. I agree with you in principle that you should...

That sucks man. I thought my brake job was rough when I had to drill out a small bolt for one of the brake line mounting brackets so that I could move the caliper out of the way to get the rotor off. Also had to pound the crap out of both old rotors with a BFH to get them off, but was still a...

Thanks all for the input... Gonna check out the local Firestone dealer this weekend to see what kind of deal they can give me. I think they'll be perfect for what I need.

265 70 R16... This what I'm seeing on the Sears' website. I'll definitely shop around and you can always talk the price down on tires. I figure I can get them somewhere for between 600-650.

Thanks Dous.... Being good in the snow is important to me too. As long as they are decent offroad, I think I'll probably go for them.

I'm thinking about getting a set of Firestone Destination AT's, and I was wondering if anyone has any experience off-road with them. They're the #2 rated On-/Off-Road All-Terrain tire on TireRack based on the user reviews, and they're also a very good deal (around $700 OTD). I've seen a lot of...
