time for a post holiday update. the mayans were wrong, so it looks like i've got to actually finish this thing lol. i got the shims from stang the other day. it's pretty damn close to what was in there. the old shim was .281" thick and the one he sent is between .281-.282", my digital caliper keeps going back and forth. so it should work just fine.
in other news, i'm getting a part time job at a tire shop. my buddy manages a Just Tires about 300 yards from my house, so i'm gonna start working there 1 or 2 nights a week and then a couple weekends a month. $12 an hour, i can use the lifts any time i need and use the tranny/radiator flush machines i want. i can also get 2 sets of tires a year at cost. so i'll be getting some 31's or 32's for the bronco by summer i hope. the money is just an added bonus, i mainly just want the tools, lifts and tire discounts lol.
work on the b2 will resume this weekend finally, my first day at just tires is tomorrow night. sucks i have to go straight from work but they're only open til 8, so it's only for 2.5-3 hours.
