We got together at Neal's for a mod party and cookout yesterday. Good times and good eatin' where had by all. I have to say thanks to Neal, Hope and Chase for letting us invade their home and garage and for feeding us. I also need to thank Ray, Amanda, and Thomas. I owe a very big thanks to Cory. He gave me the limited slip unit out of his "twisted" rear end. He then installed it in my truck, taking the time to answer all of my questions and explaining how it all works. I didn't get any pics to post, but Ray's wife Amanda and Neal both took plenty. Hopefully they'll post them in the morning. We did miss a couple of members today. Scott and JD both had to work and couldn't make it, hopefully next time we'll all be there. Thanks again for all the help and hospitality

Better viability to the rear, too, apparently.

We missed ya JD. You were thought of atleast.
Scott didn't make it either. Maybe next time. We might do a clutch next time.

I think a new grill, 2 sets of gauges, a rear gear swap and my measly jumper cable mod was a good turnout for one day. I am looking forward to the next!

You have to make it next time, and hook a chain to Scott's truck too.
