I was hard as a brick, couldn't tell me a thing.
Still paying for alot of my not-so-smart I want it NOW! decisions.
AT 50, I just started the job I should have had the stones to pursue when I was 20. I honestly wouldn't have been mature enough to handle it but now I can cope well.
IMO it is all in God's timing. (yep! I said the G-word)
I am teaching 6 different levels of math from 7 through 12 grade; only math teacher for the entire middle and high-school. Busier than a one legged man at an **** kicking contest but I am finally 'home', finally content.
Glad to feel that some of my struggles, mishaps and tears can help. Must be that part-time youth ministry mojo of mine in action
Don't party to much but also take the time to enjoy your new life out there.
Be safe as well!
I'm out, little league football and two softball games to go cheer for.

No. The Mustang 8.8 is too narrow and 29 spline...also set up for coils. You want a Ford Explorer 8.8, post 95. 31 spline, leaf sprung, disk brakes, and only 1 5/8" narrower than an XJ. As far as the Dana 35...the only Dana 35's up front were Ford's, and they were TTB (twin traction beam)....

Derek. Hes on here...rarely.
I wish we took a nap.
Drove the 30 minutes to his house again for the second time in a row after 5 hours of sleep.
Thought it would be simple. I brought some tools and he had some too.
Could not get either bolt to budge. Finally I got smart and pulled out my jack and used that to turn the bottom bolt(the mazda is good for something). The top one, i got pissed off and went He-Man on it.
Then the tie rod end wouldnt come off with a pickle fork and a BFH. After an hour of beating on it I finally got it off.
He bought a used one on the cheap, but the TRE was seized in the track bar so it took forever to adjust it.
Finally got it in, realized the bolts for the bracket were loose. I told him to buy an IRO track bar like i said a week ago.
