I'm suppose to, being that my early bird is at 110v. We will see.

After a hour and a half of looking finally found my new gpr relay. Been waiting to put it in for a couple of weeks. Sad I have to drive a hour or so away just to get something done on my truck.

I picked up the parts. It is a 1 1/4" X 6" pipe, a 1 1/4" cap and a 1 1/4" floor flange. Under $10 at Menards

Great time yesterday, guys. It was fun meeting everyone, I got what I was needing to take care of done on my truck, and I got to learn quite a bit about some other things I might have to do someday with my truck.

Troy, thanks for hosting.

We'll definitely have to do this again!

I can't say thanks enough to Troy for hosting the G2G. And we did not even work on his truck! You have a great shop there Troy.

It was great to meet more member also. Scott, Jason, Mike, and Troy. You are all great guys. Looking forward to getting together again.

Hopefully Tom posts some pictures later.

Great time yesterday meeting Troy , Mike, Jason and Scott. Always a good time hanging out with Dale and Jay. Paying for it today so pics will have to wait till tomorrow. Looking forward to the next GTG. Thanks again for hosting Troy.

Jay let me know when you want to do those hub seals since we didn'y get to them yesterday.

To those of you who helped with my truck I appreciate the help.

He lead the whole way home.

I think I will wait until this spring for the hub rebuild but we shall see. Maybe if Mike gets his shop well heated I will think about it sooner.
