    I have a set of 265/75/16 that I had installed about 2k miles ago and I somehow got a bolt stuck in the tread of the tire. These are BFGoodrich KO2 all terrain tires so there is still a lot of tread left on the tire. There is no air leaking

    Have them do a "Patch" Not a "Plug".

    should be repairable unless you're just really unlucky


    hell, it might not have even punctured the tire itself, and only gotten embedded in the tread lug

    Any tire shop can repair that. In the sidewall or bigger than 1/4" (I think) diameter cannot be repaired. You could also plug it, but a proper repair from a tire shop will be better.

    My local garage doesn't charge me anything if there isn't a leak.

    Why remove the tire from the wheel to patch it for free,
    using care such as abrading, cleaning, gluing, and sealing with a large patch from the inside

    when you can use a $5 walmart trail plug

    [​IMG]

    interesting pic in that kit
    I wonder how those fender bars remove to take the bumper off for service if they weld to the bumper and possibly sliders

    The bars just bolt on. But I'm wondering what sort of service you get done that needs the bumper to be removed.

    The bolts probably repairable. I’d buy new though. Looks like a 1/4 inch metal framing screw, they are pretty cheap.
