Those tires have a very attractive price point! And it looks like Kenda is owned by Cooper Tires.
I think those are going to be my next tires.

Well ****. Bushing above the frond diff is wasted. I am headed to Arkasas next weekend, and then pulling my TJ to Flat Nasty off road park. Roughly 1200 miles total. Think it will cause any damage not getting it replaced before then?
I wont have time to do it till Christmas.
Do we have a thread on how to replace that?
You should be alright man. Not sure if we have a thread on that yet... i think Adams replaced his so he can probably help walk you through it.
What part of Arkansas you heading to? im originally from Magonlia (south west)
Picking up my brother from Fayetville (sp?) and then headed to Jonesburrow. Wish we had time to head to Superlift. Thanks Matt, figured someone had run into this before
Nice, when i get back home ill be spending alot of my time either in Corning where my Gfs family is from and Hot Springs where my sister (current owner of my jeep) lives. and the correct spellings are Fayetteville and Jonesboro.
The upper diff bushing is easy. Jack up front end and put on jack stands so the tires are off the ground. Disconnect the front drive shaft from front diff. Take out the two bolts that hold the front diff cover bracket to the front crossmember. Take the other two bolts out that hold in the front diff (one is located above the diff and the other on the passenger side of the housing that come out the side of the differential. Rotate the entire front differential upside down. Press out old bushing and press in new one. Then reverse order to put it back together
Looks like the Commander is getting traded in for an F350. Finally just giving in to getting a tow rig
:(
F350?!?! I'd rather be cumming then stroking!! Ha
Decided to keep the XK for the wife. I will eventually trade my Altima in for a 1/2 ton truck. Just dont do enough towing to justify the big rig.
Updates on some of my junk:

Still using the XK as a tow rig

And now that the TJ is done, I can get more done to the XK. Front springs have really started to sag, and the new tires rub
That is a NICE looking TJ!!! I'm sure the XK looks killer towing the TJ, lol.
Great Photos !!
Looks like you need to install the OME lift in your XK!!
Thanks Guys!
Between the new 255.75.17s (which measure almost 33 inches mounted) and the front end sag I cant wheel the XK at all. Hell I can barely take it off a curb too fast and it gets into everything.
Can I just run the OME front springs?or do I need to get their struts too? I think the rear is fine as well, and I am putting in air bags for when I tow with it.
Appreciate any advice
You can run just the springs. their struts are the same size as stock. Though if you have your original front struts, you may want to swap them out anyway.
Traded in the Commander yesterday for this.

It was an awesome Jeep but we just needed to be able to tow more. The trans was starting to slip and the dash never recovered from my wife leaving the sunroof open during a huge rainstorm. Thanks for all the help over the past couple years!
NICE!!! That'll definitely get the job done!
Thats what im hoping to be able to do in a few more years. Definitely need a vehicle with more room. But we have our XK and old beater accord payed off already. Once at least one of the kids are done with daycare im hoping we can add a burb or yukon xl to the lineup.
The trans and water damage problems kind of forced our hand on this one. We were going to get the Yukon XL, but they gave us a hell of a deal. I think the dealer wanted it off the VW lot. I still drive an Altima with 200k on her. Happy wife happy life I hear
nice ride
Looks nice. Probably a bit more comfy too. When are the lift and mud tires going on it?
.
Looks very NICE...
Will you have to do a pinch weld mod ??
Thanks man. Still watching on FB for your bumper to be completed, it looks awesome
No lift. Putting 285 45 22 all terrains on it though. Not sure that counts though
No pinch weld and body modifications with a heat gun.
Thx man
