heres the rundown of what all is completely fucked.
-taillights do not come even close to fitting. they cracked all apart on the 2nd day, and there is an .5" gap between the light, and the bedside.
-i said i wanted heat and a/c. he called me later on to tell me he just took it out because it wouldnt work.
-i wanted it Flat Black, i get it back 2 colors that arent close to black.
-there is a mess of wiring all through the engine compartment. you cant tell what goes to what.
-the vibration is unbearable. i dont know what causes it, but its almost impossible to ride in it its so bad.
-the bedside suports are little pieces of tube pieced together, and EVERY single one broke on the way home.
-i do not get ANY lift. not even enough to clear a 55 series tire on a 15 inch rim.
- bed floor is welded crooked
-electric fan comes on when it wants to.
-framehorns are cut crooked, not plated, not gusseted. basically tackwelded.
-notching for tierods, etc, just means there are huge holes cut in my frame with no plating.
-water leaks into the cab where the plating from the floor isnt completely welded up.
-my smoothed in fenders are tacked in and look like shit.
-extending my battery just meant putting it under the bed, and using jumper cables as battery cables. (battery went dead to, with NO way to jump it off. haha, that was fun)
-i tried to pull my parking brake, but the handle came completely out of the dash, cause they removed the cable. ha.
when i find more, ill post it. and more pictures to come.

Yet you post all these things wrong and say, "no it's my fault, I'm not going to do anything about it."
So you have warned everyone about this place.

i mean really, what can i do? if i take anything to court, ill spend more on court fees than what i would get back. and im not gonna go around looking to kick someones ass. i feel, if i can prevent anyone else going there, then i helped other people from making the same mistake i did.

whats funny is you name some big shops and ive heard smaller shops fixing larger shops messups..... its really bad to pay alot of money and get a hacked truck.
I have never heard of any of the shops I listed having their stuff "repaired". Also, another thing that needs to be taking into perspective is alot of people share philosophies on how suspension should be done.
ex. Look at all the Bullock Body Works trucks that have been featured as of late. They all run triangulated reverse four links with the bags mounted on the bars. Other shops may say that is a horrible setup and needs to be "repaired" when the original owner of the truck may have been perfectly happy with the setup. It's a matter of opinion.
people that take that setup to get repaired are smart people
