This is why you shouldn’t rely on a HF Tire Plug Kit. Safety Seal ordered. They have all steel tools and Kevlar plugs. Made to be a permanent repair. This HF kit is crap.

They really have gone hill on so many tools and then way over priced on so many others (anything battery operated)... I just used my HF tire plug handles circa 2007 on the 2020 WK2 for a leak and that 2007 tool must be 1.5x the diameter and way stouter than that thing you got there. (n)

Ordered some Revolution 4140 (Discovery) rear Dana 44 shafts. Better safe than sorry. I’ve got two sets of stock shafts, so I can sell one set to recoup.

Once I get these installed the rig will be ready to go to Moab. I do have to rotate the tire and get the flat fixed, but that will be done tomorrow

I’m still sorting out how to hold tools and fluids down on the trail. I’m looking at an Jnsta Trunk locally for $75, and it would be nice to have either way, but I think I need something that secures things more, probably a net and some tie down hooks. I’ve got some I’m looking at.

I hate DISCOUNT TIRE. I used to have good experiences with the one in Kerrville, TX. Then I moved. The one here could never balance my tires, so I drive an hour one way to a place that cares and gets it done the first time. I needed a plug, so I tried to fix it first, but broke my stupid HF tire tool. I took it in to Discount because I thought this is easy. They can do this. No need to drive 2 hours to get a plug. They fixed the flat, but I noticed later they took off my super short valve stem and put a gaudy big ass one on there. WTH? Can't they see what they're doing? I'm so done with them. That will be the last time I take my wife's Yukon, kids Rogue, or any of our vehicles to a DISCOUNT TIRE ever. Now I have to break the bead, pull their stupid stem and put in a super short. This is way too much work for a silly tire plug. Then I'm going to drive by DISCOUNT AND THROW IT AT THEIR WINDOW. If that were all I'd only be pissed, but they must have rotated the tire on the wheel because it's out of balance now. Now I have to drive two hours to get that fixed. Two hours and wait at least thirty minutes. WTH? I think I'm just going to sell the Jeep. I'm so tired of this crap. Rant over. Thanks for listening.
 
In better news, my Revolution rear Dana 44 shafts are scheduled to arrive UPS tomorrow. I'm also going to Rathdrum, ID, to pick up an InstaTrunk that I found on CL for $75. This will keep my stuff protected during the Spring and Summer months with the top off. Oh wait, I forgot I'm selling the Jeep.

I've got a cool diamond plate cover for that InstaTrunk. Doesn't do anything other than look cool but...

Wait what am I saying, you're selling the Jeep so never mind...

We really should figure out a time to meet so you can get that engine skid. You might need it in Moab ;) Since you said you were gunna take it instead of using it on Kaleb's Jeep. But he'll get the belly up skid.

I'll be meeting you when your Jeep is ready to roll. I'm planning to be there for the shakedown.

p.s. I'm going to put it on Kaleb's Jeep. I got too much going on! Thanks!
