      -Spike- replied to the thread GlueTread???.
      Yep. In some cases it will get you more time, but every patch I applied failed within one or two more wheeling trips. Even repairs on pinholes, not necessarily just on catastrophic tears. It saved me having to install the spare, but for the cost...

      Complete Wit's-End turbo kit at my cost, $6500. Local sale preferred. I also have a 1FZ shortblock on hold at a dealership, and I can arrange a sale between them and a buyer (keeping the warranty intact), again at my (discounted) cost of ~$44xx...

      Synthetic rope is susceptible to UV, and breaking a rope while winching can be extremely dangerous in some situations, so protecting the rope from the sun could be prudent. More prudent if the vehicle is usually parked outside in a southern...

      As Azca said, a good alignment shop will tell you everything that's wrong with your rig before they do anything to it, IME at no cost if you bring it to them for the alignment when you've fixed the issues. It's a great resource for people who...
