What have you done to your CX-5 today?

[Chris_Top_Her]

I put them on to carry a kayak and didn't remove them. I will remove them tho kinda forgot about it.

 

[Chris_Top_Her]

Always enjoy shots of your CX-5, Chris!

Picked up a gallon of FL-22. Going to top up tomorrow (when engine is cool).

Thanks

Snowed yesterday and today. Altimax RT43 tires did fine.

I have been lazy though and been meaning to put my Blizzaks back on, so will do that this week before it snows again on Saturday.

Got snow here, but it was to warm and then too cold for any to really stay on the roads, and we didn't get a ton of it.

I mounted a pair of 4" led light bars for trucks as fog lights.
And I also washed the car on my own lol...

Actually looks pretty good dropped to be honest. Was it a simple bolt on, and does it have good manners, or is it rough and not nearly as tractable as factory?

makes it a helluva lot easier to load the roof too (especially with shoulders that don't like to depart the socket). And towing a trailer is very stable at high speed too with the big rear sway bar. To me, simple bolt on yes in the form of coilovers. My ride as a whole is stiff and its way more stable than OEM, however it is of course rougher. Still gets me to the activities I want though (unpaved road at the most).

I have swapped it out, with another local CX5 owner and I have got $160 on top of that.

Topped up my coolant reservoir to full with Mazda FL-22 this morning. Now am sitting at Discount Tire for my snow tire change over.

They measured my Blizzak WS80's and two of them were at 6/32nd while the other two were still at 9/32nd tread lol.

Learned more about features of my 3-months new 2018 CX-5 from the massive owners guide

let me guess, the 6/32nd tires were on the front last year

Yep, probably.

Added fog lights with a new OEM switch. (I can't believe how easy it was to swap that switch out).

I then tested them on my dark-azz roads at excessive speeds.

Next is add the 3.5" tweeters and some heated seats.

Just went out driving with my 18 in snow for the first time. The Firestone Winterforce tires I put on are incredible. Thing drives like it's on rails. The one thing I will say disappointed was the wiper blades. So much streaking. They were complete crap. Any recommendations?

Replaced filters with replaceable synthetics

Bosch Icons. But I don't know if those work with gen 2.

Seconded, along with PIAA (my go to, lights too...), but I Don't know about Gen 2 either, but I run then on everything I can, though...

 

[jonnymopar]

Bosch Icons.

I use these on everything I own.

 

[tibimakai]

..and they last only a year. At least here, in LA.

I do agree, same here. That said, I have yet to find a better working beam style wiper.

PIAA is an option, I just don't care for that style frame for the snowstorms.

Wife's car has had its current Icons for 2 years, now entering its 3rd Memphis area winter. They're just now needing to be changed.
