Answers for those who asked:
The lift is TF 2.5 BB, w/ an extra 1/2" in the front (TF pucks). Tires are 33's.
It's only been snowing a few days so I really haven't been able to put the tires through a whole lot yet, but so far they are handling great! They are MTZ's.
The extinguisher doesn't even touch the seat. The only problem I've noticed is that every once in a while I bump my heel on it when I get out, so make sure you don't mount it too far forward.
The seat covers are rugged ridge. Not total protection like some others, but I like the style and they have lots of storage on the back.
>edit< They are listed online as "seat protectors" rather than covers, they are sometimes hard to find in the online catalogues.

nice choice of tire! whole jeep looks great
We got a bunch of them windmills here in my town. like 100 of them things stinking up the place
(by stinking up the place i mean helping create clean energy, giving farmers a nice boost in income by having them on their land, and creating a nice view for travelers to take pictures of)

When going fast, like on the freeway, if there is standing water from heavy rain on one side of the road, so only half the Jeep hits it, I really get yanked over hard and the chassis gets unsettled, more than I've felt in any other vehicle.
I imagine since the tread is meant to grab everything and not let the mud slip past, it doesn't pass water either, and is like dropping an anchor right into the water and the drag is tremendous.
Really it's a minor thing, been getting heavy rain since it is the beginning of winter in western OR so probably a lot of people don't have this trouble, and even here it is only now and then.
