the only way tires could void the warranty is if they make body contact, and you try to get the damage fixed under warranty. If the axles snap, and they can prove it was from the tires, then you are screwed for that to.. anything not directly related ot the tires, and they make no difference. example, you throw a rod in the motor, tires are not to blame. you snap a front cv joint, tires may be to blame. radio craps out, nope.. not tire related.

You'll be fine - and you almost certainly won't have any problems with up to a 32" tire (or 265/75R16 if you have 16" wheels). Lots of folks here run that size and haven't reported any warranty problems (myself included).

Don't just call me a fucking idiot if you have nothing to say to back it up. 
I never said is was preferable, I was merely responding to your claim that uni-body 4x4s were crap, which they're not. You hate Jeeps because you're ignorant, there is nothing I can do to help you with that problem.
BTW, threatening me via PM like you did won't do much for you tough guy.[/b]:rolleyes: Spare me the crap. My only complaint with Jeep is that they aren't what they used to be. They USED to be good off-roaders. But now they try to use their past image to make all of their trucks look like the best 4x4's on the market. It's all fake and it makes me sick. Why you disagree with that and call me a now 'ignorant' idiot is beyond me.

Just go and look underneath a liberty. Most of the ones on the road are the lowered ones, and the lower control arms are like an inch away from the ground. Jeep (and Toyota) do not quote the absolute lowest point.

I'd be willing to bet that even hardcore Jeepers despise the thing. I think a lot of Jeep guys don't like it, but they don't like it because it's IFS, not because it's unibody - the only non-unibody Jeep for a long time has been the TJ. Any "hardcore Jeeper" that doesn't like the KJ probably doesn't like the Xterra either, because both are IFS. That said, I do personally prefer having the truck frame and I admit it was one of many factors that entered the equation when I made my purchase decision (which included quite a variety of vehicles).

Fine man, you go ahead and buy yourself a little liberty then. The day that the frame starts breaking apart after your trip to Moab will be all the better for those of us that own our steel framed xterras.  I'd be willing to bet that even Jeepers despise of that piece of crap.

Ok.
A unibody structure can actually peform fairly well. My complaint with the unibody structure is not having a place to tuck drivetrain parts in without cramping the cabin.
It would take A LOT of hammering to destroy a unibody structure. A Frame doesn't even make you immune. Do a search for "Fender Crack" on the forums here. If it was put together, it can be taken apart, period.

There's nothing wrong with a little internet banter and argument, it's how things get discussed I definately wouldn't drive a stock X off a cliff or into the ocean, or into a herd of Caribu. Happy?
