You have coilovers on the G37, right? Just raise it up to full height and throw some snow tires on it.

anyone else worried about the winter coming? It's gonna be a bad one...And i don't quite have a car that is good for this stuff
Nope. Put on snow tires and go!

I didn't even really get to use my snow tires last year. Maybe this year they can prove their worth.
They have any tread left after all those spirited drives?

I did with them a bit..

They're in surprisingly good shape. They're 205 all around, so I'm going to swap the fronts and rears and I think I'll be able to get another season out of them.

Rust. Mountains and mountains of the stuff.

Those are all unibody Jeeps. Just general road crap tends to build up in the body and rot them from the inside out. It is almost impossible to avoid and you won't necessarily be able to see the really bad stuff.

The engines and trannys are bullet proof. The t-cases' are so-so but not bad. They do have a better rear end then most Wranglers but they are leaf sprung which has it's own issues (aka rusty mounts that tend to break).

All and all, they are not bad if you are only looking for a cheap winter beater that you are prepared to walk away from after a couple of years. Just be prepared to have issues.
