wow Paul, I thought I got a bargain, but that's even better. I paid more, but the freight was less and got here in 2 days - but who cares.
As you mentioned, it doesn't compare with the $140 ea I was quoted from nearby Albion Jeep.

I'm not sure if a few of the part numbers cover several year models... I thought I had the right part number after searching for the TPMS for a 2012 model. Just to be sure I phoned the dealer to get the part number, to get this they searched my VIN & gave me a totally different part no. than I was about to order. When I searched the new part number I mostly got 2008 year models..
Double checked with the dealer & they searched my VIN again(correct number), fingers crossed they work ok

Part of the reason I'm getting the KMC 125's , they have a fake silver bead lock rim that shouldn't show the scratches as much as an all black wheel.

My part number for the 2013+ model is 56029398AB. Just looking at the packaging on yours, it suggests there have been changes from 2012 - to - 2013...

Because like JK drivers they go up a few sizes or switch to muddies (or both)...and for the record, they are nothing like the Silent Armors, much less aggressive tread, quieter, better on fuel and most importantly don't cause death wobble.

Howdy all......one for the maths boffins.....Changed my mind about buying KM2's (too much road driving to work for my JKU), and decided to get the bridgestone D697LT's. I was looking for 265/70/17, I still have the standard 245/75/17 on my jeep. But the closest size i can find in the 697's is 265/65/17.......im just wondering if i will lose tyre height and by how much?

Gday mate, I use this site to work out tyre sizes:

http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalcold.html

The stock tyres are 31.5" tall, where as the new tyres are 30.6" tall. Basically you'll lose half an inch in clearance.

Hope this has been helpful
