I haven't had mine in the snow yet. I have 35's. I will second everything you said so far. I live in SoCal and we have some seriously sharp rocks here. The one thing I have noticed is that the knobs are chunking some compared to what my MTRK's did. But for the most part I have had them on some pretty fought trails and triple digets in the dirt. So far they work great. I have a 13 auto with 4.56's and it accelerates better than it did with the 32's and 3.73's. I have 10K on them now.

The Maggie looks like an A/C unit. The Ripp looks B/A. That said I would most likely spray them black to keep it low profile from thieves. I had a GMC Typhoon back in the day. It used the water to air. The unit needed lots of airflow to not get hot. The faster guys switched to air to air for drags and high speed stuff. I am looking forward to how it holds up during your first summer. I am betting on the air to air having cooler intake temps when your running in traffic. Plus the Blower is right on top of the engine where the ripp is in the air flow from the radiator. It is going to be interesting.
