    It can't be that hard.

    Get some rebar, flat steel, sheet metal screws, and booger weld it all together, then your good to go.

    I think out of all people you should be able to appreciate the work involved in doing your own suspension work. I used 4WU for my front 3-link. There are no options for the rear of my truck so I went full custom. DIY removable cross-member, triangulated lower links, DIY truss, wishbone upper, coilover mounts etc. I would have GLADLY paid a premium to get premade brackets. Sure I saved a lot but at what costs? There's definitely a cost & time factor of all the long nights and weekends I spent in the garage pissing off my wife and missing out on life in general. That's where the price premium comes in. Doing custom suspension with a grinder and a welder is no walk in the park.

    There's a lot of pride in building something yourself but I would never do this again #boughtnotbuilt

    Wow this is insane. Read through about 90% of this thread. Can’t believe you guys got strung along like this. Sucks that it happened. Doubt most of you will ever get back what you put in. Honestly if it was me in some of this situations I probably would of killed the guy. Hopefully justice will be served on all your behalf’s.

    I’m not quite sure I am on that level. Plus, this thing needs to daily in the Bay Area. But, bolt on 60/70 is super easy to “justify” as a “work expense”...o_O

    This is real sad to read. I looked him up early last year and read good things about him on YouTube and FB, so I took my chances with him on a 4x4 conversion.


    He had me pay for all the parts up front so he could order everything and get my truck in afterwards. Little did I know about all this that you guys are reporting... so after 6 months of different reasons to why he couldn’t get my truck in, I finally lost patience and asked for a refund, only for him to say he doesn’t have the money. I even suggested he just give me the parts I paid for but he stopped responding, so I’m willing to bet he never even ordered them.


    Now I’m 12k in the hole, waiting for my CC company/bank to do their thing...

    I really had hoped he would live up to his previous reputation.

    DrDre,
    I’m in the same boat as you, only half of what you lost. Sucks cause it took me 2 years to save for this and nothing.
    I hope Wyatt burns really well over this atrocity.
