Holy crap George, what lb/ft do you torque your lug nuts up to?

In addition to the tire plug kit, I also carry a can of tire sealent. Careful where you store it though, I had a can in the front trunk right behind the radiator during one Vegas Fun Rally until I heard a loud pop.... that stuff makes a friggin nasty sticky mess!

I always thought a comnpact spare would be a good idea; they are only designed for 50 miles distance at max 50 mph speed. The Pantera front/rear diameters are only 1" to 1.5" difference in height so pick one about 25" diameter. The ZF should not have a problem, by design one side of the diff rotates faster than the other every time you corner!
