Haha, I'm missing a few half lugs after wellsville. I don't think it will work but if it does you should get paid for advertising.

Not enough radius at the bottom of the lug.
Good for grip, but not for strength :D

The gorilla glue is fairly strong and flexible, but for rubber you'll really need to prep it with 80-120 grit sandpaper and scrub it with acetone, a primer for low surface energy materials would help too.

Id've put some serious weight on the lug to make sure the bond line was nice and thin too!

Take some pictures of the lug seperated from the tire. You may have to bolt it for rigidity but my stuff should seal it up. I sell this stuff for a living and I have a few "samples" I can give you to try....

If it brakes off again I will try your stuff. Koko is my hero,,,he cut them just as I requested. The hill I climbed would have torn off lugs off an uncut bogger. These tires do very well but only thanks to the superior cutting job. They are cut for fresh cut hills with some soil,,not rock gardens. A good set of Irocks would be more suitable for that rock crawler hill at Chocco.
