Gear install & pinion shim?

Throws

OK... Since it's the weekend, it's Jeep time! Pulled out the pinion and gears, but can't find the marking that Moses mentions on his walkthrough.

Here's what I'm looking at:

So, if the shim is a "31", which I'm assuming is 0.031, and the gear seems to have it's paint pen mark smudged off... Should I be OK running the stock 31 shim? Seems like I've heard these are usually "close enough".

Thoughts?

Only the pattern check will tell if its OK. If its not, out it comes and the shim is changed. Repeat until the pattern is good.
