Nice! Does the motor exhaust through the drive like an I/O? If so, that will quiet it down a lot.The 25hp 2-smoke is kind of cool but also kind of annoyingly loud

Just twist my arm...anyone want to plan a buggy trip to Sand Hollow or Moab in the near future?

The glue is some wicked fast and strong super-glue. Don’t pick your nose.

Lucky for me it cures faster than I can get my zipper open....or use the restroom?
If that’s punctured all the way through, I wonder how well it would work to patch on the inside too?After borking this new tire a few weeks ago, I had a few people tell me that GlueTread works quite well. I ordered an off-road sidewall repair kit from them to see if it works well enough to keep this tire around as a spare.

They suggest you bevel the edges of the patches to make them glide smoother over catchy stuff.
Beveled and cleaned.

I don’t think it’s worth going that far for a sidewall puncture. The sidewall construction is definitely compromised at this point, at least for this tire and these two punctures.If that’s punctured all the way through, I wonder how well it would work to patch on the inside too?
Glad to hear you approve. I’ve had one of those in my recovery gear for about a year now. That’s been my 1st line of defense against carrying a full size spare.After borking this new tire a few weeks ago, I had a few people tell me that GlueTread works quite well.

I should mention that I think it’s worth the time/effort to pull the wheel and tire off the rig and lay it flat on the ground to perform the repair. The glue is quite thin/runny. I tried to make the dots as small as possible, but about 10% of them ran. I had the tire/wheel laying at a 45 degree angle.Glad to hear you approve.

I think it's funny they use a Patagonia tire in their marketing. That seems fitting. Great product, I'm going to add it to my arsenalAfter borking this new tire a few weeks ago, I had a few people tell me that GlueTread works quite well.
