"What is the danger of plugging the sidewall is the question I should have asked."
Sidewalls should not be repaired because they are thinner than the tread and subject to more flex. Properly installed plugs in the tread can last the life of the tire, but any plug can fail. A sidewall failure tends to be more catastrophic than a tread failure. The thinner sidewall material is weaker and more likely to tear than the tread. A rolling tire seals the leak against the ground once every rotation as it airs down from a tread failure while a sidewall just continues to air down. This slows the leak down a little as you slow the vehicle down. It's up to you. As a short term temporary fix maybe, but I would only keep it as a spare if at all. If you do keep it on then use it in the back. Here are some links to check out.

if there are any road warranties on tire plugs will void them,warranties are usually worthless and wont be used by customer and retailer makes money off them
Well I picked up the ARB plug kit at a local shop... removed the 3/8" diameter bolt, reamed the hole, plugged the hole, aired it up. It's sealing up well so far. Pics to follow.
