I really really wish I had pictures of what *RADIO EDIT* did to my first mini. Worst hack job ever. Lets see, where do I begin? He torched out the inner fenders on my B2200i, torching my rare wiring harness in the process, which would've cost $1400 to replace so I got a Weber, then he "Goober Tacked" some shock mounts onto my frame. He put them right where the shocks would bind on the firewall. Then he put the shocks in and the tabs broke in a couple of days. His bag brackets were about 1/3 of the way welded on, only on the top side, bottom side wasn't penetrated and he left it untouched... the bag brackets broke right away and he still insists that this was quality work. The back... god... he got some 2x2 pipe, got some blocks positioned under the back of the frame behind the rear crossmember, cut a 10 inch chunk of frame out over the axle with a torch, ugliest damn torch cuts i have seen in my life, then when he was done he left my gas on. several times. He made 2 ugly, uneven C's with the 2x2 tubing, tacked them together on the corners (4 freakin tack welds on each "bend" in the notch)and then he BONDO'D the rest of the joint and sanded it smoothe. I am not joking! He then proceeded to only weld 1 of the lower rear bag brackets about 4 inches too close to the center of the axle, and the other one about an inch too far away. Both the front and rear upper bag brackets varied at least 10 degrees in mounting angle from one side to the other. Then last but not least, he welded my brake line connector to the underside of my bed and punched jagged holes through the back of the cab to run wires through. It was pretty sweet... I did my first frame back-half and decided to scrap the bags idea altogether on that one... at this point he shall go anonymous! And he poses for a living! Lets not forget, he totalled my truck before all this and put a new front end on about 6 inches offline of where it should have been. Then he decided to steal my tools, my tires, and leave me with a mess. And then run far far away to Cali.He also falsely claims he rolls with NC.
EDIT: Oh yeah, he also tried to make a wishbone 3 link with 1x2x1/8" rectangular tubing BONDO'D together as well, mounted about 8 inches off center... with leaf springs still on. He's a real genius, this guy..........
that was years ago; maybe he's changed now or maybe not, time will tell!
