    So, we started having problems getting the truck to start. Figured out it wont start in park but will start in Neutral... classic sign the Neutral Safety Switch is bad.

    We popped it off the trans and found that it was in pretty bad shape. Hopefully that means this was the problem.

    Went ahead and got a new one on the way.

    So we fixed the problem with no start in park. The Neutral Safety Switch arrived and solved the problem.

    We also finally made it to the alignment shop, and got everything squared away. SPC UCAs are now at their recommended neutral setting. LCAs are pushed outward and with a bit of positive caster (not maxed, but good) to pull the tire away from the pinch weld a bit. For now the tire looks like it may be a bit close to the bumper valance, but a Trail Gear bumper is in the works so that issue will be solved. (If the tire rubs the bumper valance before a new bumper happens, the valance is going to get a hair cut)

    @siznarf came by and we did some brake stuff on his T4R. Also mounted some Eibach 620# coils on his 5100s.

    And he brought us some goodies. :thumbsup:
