The antenna will be coming off. I'm deaf so I have no need for the radio. 
The ltb's are great. That might strike people as ODD considering they are bias ply and strictly an off road tire. This is my 4th set of ltb's. My previous three sets were very rough tires and were hard to balance. This set balanced with very little weight and rides with no shaking......except when they flat spot. I run them at 21 psi and they ride better than those stupid trxus MT's. I bought the trxus mt's brand new from 4wd and they took so much weight to balance and still shook on the highway. I ended up not being able to drive 45+ mph cause it was that bad. 4wd swapped em out for a new set and i still had one or two bad tires that would shake regardless of how they were balanced. I ditched them and got some used MT baja MTZ's for a while and then picked up a set of LTB's from summit racing. Best and smoothest tire i've owned in a while........strange huh?
Oh yeah, they are VERY LOUD. I am deaf and I can hear the roar of the tires. My friends say they can hear me coming from 1/2 mile away.
As for wear and tear, they are holding up pretty good. I don't expect 20k though....

Not at all. If you have basic tools and a nice big set of lock ring pliers then you can do it. I did mine while it was still under the jeep but you can remove the whole case if you wish. This was my 4th sye i did so......it was easy but for a first timer, expect a 2-4 hr job if you take your time.

That should be easy. Make sure you have a really good pair of lock ring pliers too. Not the kind that fit into holes. The heavy duty kind like in this pic. I bought mine at Sears.
