Was going to throw seafoam in my oil, change my oil in 200 miles, should I change it once more after that.?
Is it wise to ride on a tire with a plug in it for dd use and offroad? Very small plug

Lol thats on an old leaky 2.5 with a few things on it. Apparently, if you put a CAI, 4.0 TB, and IAT relocation on a 2.5 with 31's, you get better mpg than stock. But i drive alot of highway.. And i dont have a lead foot on the highway.

Plug should be fine if it was done properly.

I heard somewhere that its recommended to drive easy on the plugged tire for about aday or so before doing anything rough with it such as wheeling or hard turns? is that correct?

Never heard of that. That falls into the same catagory as not doing things too much or you'll go blind..........

Just rub some fine dirt on it after you plug it (or whatever dry dirt/whatever you can find, as long as its dry) so the plug material isnt tacky anymore and drive on it. Should be good to go right after.

My advice to you is to swap out the LCAs with WJ LCAs. They have much nicer bushings and you can buy the arms with the bushings for less than you can buy all the bushings to replace in your OEM arms.
