Love it.

I put Cepek M/T's on and they are noisy. How bad are the swampers?

Looks great. You'll have to give us a snow, trail, and tread wear report in the long run. If you like them as much as they look awesome, I will end up putting them on a set of steel rims for a dedicated set of trail tires. I bet if you air them down, they'll be hard to beat on the trail (considering it's almost impossible to fit Boggers on the KJ, these tires are probably second only to them).

Endurance the basket is a Surco

thanks for the compliments guy's, I can tell you this right now these tires are WICKED LOUD & not for those that like a quiet ride NOT HAPPENING

I haven't had a chance to try them out yet offroad but will be sometime in Jan. these tires are for OFFROAD ONLY I have a set of AT's for my everyday stuff

on road there a little squirrely but it's due to the design of the tire the faster you go they seem to get a little better though & the humming becomes kinda soothing at 65-70 :twisted:

don't get me wrong they probably would be good for everyday use, especialy after they wear abit, but I'm going to use my BFG's for my DD stuff they only have about 20,000 on them so I will wear them to the ground

the other reason being these tires are VERY HARD to come by cause thier so new, so I'd like to keep them good for as long as possible till they hit all or most of the offroad stores & it won't be a problem searching for them

i was also thinking about putting a set of these on my KJ. what size did u go with i was thinking 245/76/16. i heard great things about these tires, and they are cheap too. ive found them online for 116 a tire and i dont think shiping was bad either. here is a link....
