Thats a nice looking jeep. Very clean and I like the soft top tinted windows. Full hard doors would be my choice too. The tires are fine. Too many folks fall for the hype of "monster mudder tires". They look stupid, and are so loud on the freeway, you cant hear yourself think. Most people who buy them, never go off road. The most challenging thing they drive over are speed humps in the walmart parking lot. These are the same guys who pose their jeep with one wheel on a boulder. Those monster mudders last about 20k miles if you are lucky. Check the detailed specs on them, and they are strictly for posing. What year did any CJ come with an optional factory installed winch? Not dealership installed, but factory option installed?
Look, here's mine :

It's the TJ 2005 model. I just received an add of the 65th year model celebrating the first willy from WWII.
When i was a kid, i grew up in illinois and keep dreaming while i passed in front of the AMC dealership... The new Renegade cost $6250 at the time !!! Mine cost 22.100 euros last january.
I shall take the top down as soon as i can find someone to help me lift it up the car. ;-)

Every available option? I think not. Where's the winch? Heard that was absolutely essential in Buffalo. The gas can racks, the 'jerry' cans? Those look like serious street tires. Can't do any serious off-roading with those. White to blend in with the snow? As usual, you've kept your vehicle down to the bare minimum with clean lines and a lean look. Very nice!
