Nah i was at work :[ But my paycheck should be over $100 this time The super walmart down the street got hit hard since they opened at 8pm thursday night instead of 12am. My parents went there at 5:30am and said it was wiped out. then i planned to go have a free lunch at the Sam's Club but they don't open till 7. So i went home and had cereal. It was a long night.

I got an aftermarket bumper from a guy on craigslist for $25. It works, but eventually I'd like to get a better one. I had to swap the bumper brackets side to side and drill into the bumper to mount it. My factory bumper was smashed and hanging loose.

I found one on Craigslist earlier in the week myself. Paid $80 for a factory bumper with brackets that was in really good shape - came off a '93 Bronco and was perfect match. My original bumper was mangled and the 2 inner brackets had been snapped.

Good deal! Have you ever replaced leaf and coil springs on a Bronco? Mine has a noticeable lean to the right. Not sure if I should get 2-3" lift or just stock height replacements.

You could do the Moog springs. They give a bit of lift, more of a leveling.

I'm waiting for a good camera deal on Amazon, but might buy a Processor instead. I'm just thinking about re-selling whatever I get.

If i had money i would be buying stuff haha. I am banking on being paid tomorrow so i can at least get 3/4 tank of gas before my hour drive to meet with some washington guys. This should be the first time i have driven TGM that long on the highway. I hope everything holds up with it.
