Yep, winter sucks. I have a block heater, but no timer yet, so I usually plug it in before I hit the sack. Likely using more electricity than I should, but at least the scangauge says the coolant temp is around 100° F when I start the bluesmobile in the morning.

LRR specs are hard to find as we all know. On my mechanic's recommendation, I picked up a set of Toyo Open Country G-02 Plus winter tires. I found aluminum rims at a local wrecking yard -- made for a mid-90s Crown Vic / Grand Marquis, but perfect fit for my truck.

I installed an upper grill block as well -- plexiglass attached with four zip ties. Hopefully there will be aero and thermal benefits.

The nut behind the wheel still need fine tuning...
