No way to fix a sidewall. You might have a chance of getting a warranty replacement.
I have to ask, how the hell did you bubble the sidewall on a Nitto TG?

This. No way to fix a sidewall and no way to fix a bubble. A bubble means the steel belt inside the sidewall has buckled. If you have roadhazard on the tire, you may be able to get a warranty on it, but otherwise, change it out ASAP or risk a nasty blowout.
As for the bubble Mark, slamming a big enough pothole will buckle the steel belt on any tire.

I'm not much help with info on a repair kit, but I had 30,000 on my 35in KM2's and it only cost me $50 for a brand new tire. Would have been free, but I wanted road hazard warranty on the new tire as well. I got my tires at Sears, because unlike some places they cover on and off road use if you are getting off road tires.

I worked for a tire shop 20 years ago and tech tire repair was one of the best then. Their stuff is pricey and hard to find you might have to go talk to a local mechanic and buy from him.

This is the kit that I have been using for years. Works very well. Have a lighter with the kit as well. After you put the plug in, dab a bit of rubber cement on the piece of plug sticking out and set it on fire. Let it burn for 5 seconds or so, then blow it out. This will slightly melt the plug and let it sit better.
