Yes
Yes but it is really just short, sub standard mud tires on a Sahara and some rubi bolt on's without the lockers, transfer case and gear ratio. Why not add the rubi cosmetics and run the K02 or some other all terrains, it would make a bit more sense then. The mud tires are what puts it in the "just for looks" category. Maybe it's old age, I feel the same way about just putting a loud exhaust on civic, as opposed to modding an engine or chassis. And "Get off my lawn" LOL I live in San Diego, the yard is only a few feet long.
I sold my Moab wheels to a Rubi jeeper. Then I put the Rubi wheels a KO2 tires on the Moab. Made us both happy jeepers.

We seemed to be in a cease fire,:lipssealed: both sides are probably reloading, and strategizing. It’s eerily quite :movember:
Yes, the smoke is clearing from the first round lol

I think the black Moab wheels looked great on his Sting gray Rubi & 37's. And I think the Rubi wheels and 33 KO2's improved the look of my Moab.
I love the Moab wheels, hate the tires. Love the K02s, like the Rubi wheels. Wife hates the Moab wheels. Possibly the deciding variable.

Pretend to be all happy and ready to finalize paper with your salesman, but then

"sorry I can't, I'll do this if you can credit or swap out the km2's for ko2's"

Not pretending. This is absolutely a requisite for my deal. I'm not living with the KM2s (I mean, c'mon, they're not even the 3s) until they wear out. Credit (at least a healthy portion) on the swap or no deal.

2 words.

Lockers.
It's the stupid-valid-righteous-annoying lockers argument that's giving me pause. I want lockers! I want full-time 4WD! I want lockers in 4-Hi without hacking! I must be getting old...I used to have to get out and lock my hubs on my K5.

I can't wait to get something like the KO2s. I've been rolling with the stock KM2s and in some ways are the best tires I've ever owned (I'm a Jeep/SUV noob). My only complaint after 3K+ miles is noise (and that's not even that bad). Apparently KO2s would completely blow my mind.

Also - I would think most dealers would be OK with the swap, retail price on KM2s is higher than KO2s (at least from what I've seen).

Plus, I just think the KM2s are too small/narrow.
