Fire extinquishers with metal nozzle not plastic are the better ones. You also want a fire extinquisher designed for use on automobile fires.... the smaller the extinquisher, the less effective they will be, typically.

Drove in the rain with only the standard bikini. Not bad. Being its only 60* kinda sucked. But hey, its march and I've been topless or nearly so for two weeks now, not too shabby.... Still shopping for a hardtop with the last of my tax return.

Unless you're buying one for looks like the 'street racers' do
Don't waste your money on anything less than 5 lbs, or carry multiple 2.5 lb extinguishers.
little Jeep is right, avoid the plastic handle extinguishers their mechanism is much more likely to fail in the event you need to use it.
This is a good article on the basics of fire extinguishers for off road vehicles

Well, come on... don't leave us hanging...
Where did you get the bumper, how much, blah, blah, blah.
I'm looking at a new setup but the only one I found I really like is Poison Spyder's bumper.
Great looking bumper but too damn expensive. 1300 bucks.
The one you installed looks pretty damn close to the same thing.

Fixed my steering. The little tab below my coolant overflow bottle was hitting my steering shaft every time I'd turn. Cut that tab off and it works great now

I have a bunch, they are great. Probably going to sell them as a three pack to members on here.  You can usually find them at any hardware / large retailer for luggage, camping supplies.
