Thanks for the congrats!

As for the spare tire/jack kit, I'm "old" school and I know that sh*t happens. Even the RFTs are not "guaranteed" to run flat if you get a flat, in which case you're stranded and SOL. I have and have used plug kits (as well as a C02 tank and portable compressor) for off-roading but they don't always work either, especially if you have an odd puncture.

If you have a spare tire and the tools to get it on, no worries. Simple as that.
