Not that it's worth anything, but you do sound like a responsible owner.
There has to be something about your neighbor that triggers an agressive response from your dog. As mentioned, not knowing the dogs past, finding what that "variable" is about the neighbor can almost be impossible.
My first thought is a training collar that has both an audible and shock stimulous (I've put one on myself, they do work!). The one collar we have will work with two transmitters. May be a long shot, but your neighbor sounds reasonable, and he may work with you and your dog (knowing that your family has grown fond of the dog). Let your neighbor have one of the transmitters. If the dog shows agression (sp?), the neighbor (having the transmitter on his person) can use an audible warning, or if the agression continues, he can work his way up the "electric stimulous" settings to try and correct the dog.
I'll admit, this is an "easy way" out, but may work the quickest.
By the way, I even ride with the dogs set in back of the pick up truck if I take them out back on the property (they love it). I just see too many people driving on roads going faster than the speed limit with dogs in the back of the bed of a truck and can't help but think that with one quick turn of the wheel, the dog can be thrown out. I assumed incorrectly that is what you meant, and I was wrong. Apologies.
