In my opinion yes, look at the original mount for the 80s. The Hanna 4R mount is very different to the 80 mount, better is a lot of aspects worse in some.

I'm going off the pictures of the NE mount vs the Hanna mount. Dont know what yours look like.

I leave for a little while to have a baby and all hell breaks loose...What is going on

Hope everyone is well, thought I would drop in and say hello...you shall be seeing more of me now

 

I am such a hacker.
I guess I have nothing better to do than use Tracy's IP to hack into AKs mighty PC

Really now, accusing me of hacking his PC.

AK, if you have such proof of staff hacking your PC, bring it on.
Lets see the info, post it on your forum.
Scan in the docs from Dell, the police, the WA. state department.

Come on, lets see the proof.

PS, he claims he does not have multiple accounts here.
This is him.

Look further back in this thread, the truth comes out by another poster.

I also hear you intend on shutting down YotaTech.
Get a life dude.
You sold a defective unsafe product, time to move on and quit fibbin' to the truck & SUV community here and on other forums.

 

man, hes good at skewing things to make NE look like an innocent victim.

he can say 100 times that they "made some stupid mistakes", but we are not their parents here to forgive them.

they lied, cheated and outright hurt people. thats a business that will never have a single cent of my money.

GET OUT OF COLLEGE AND THEN OWN A BUSINESS. FABBING PRODUCTS THAT ARE UNSAFE IS UNETHICAL. WAIT UNTIL YOU ARE READY, THEN SELL PRODUCTS.

geez.

 

I did finally see a pic of his Trac/Panhard bracket. I was not surprised to see it look exactly like mine, but he did not realize you have to weld it on and have a static point.

Someday I/We will build a 4th Gen slider. The day will someday come. I have no idea when. A frame mount is a frame mount. Nothing new there. The new thing is my outer tube design that truly does prevent body damage. Why should not the 4th Gen folks benefit from that?

As for the 4th Gen drop bar, when the Dana 44 dust settles, I'll post on that. We made Tracy one and she likes it. We just don't have any cores and there are no 4th Gens in the bone yard. New cores are too pricey.

I will move forward not backward. The 4th Gen will more then likely be my next target. Not the old stuff or the Tacoma. My nitch is the new 4Runners.


Here are my observations of what is out there and what should never be done:

1. Don't attach rear bumpers with self taping anything.

2. If you weld 2 plates together at least have the skill to grind the weld smooth.

3. You can't just attach a shock anywhere you feel like it.

4. If you add too much IFS lift, you have no droop. It will suck off road.

5. IFS long travel axles seem to break alot. So do stock IFS axles. Fact of life. Just the way it is.

6. English threads that are "pretty close" to Metric are not the same. Earl's does not make AN to Metric.

7. If the factory put a vacuum line on, you probably need it.


Over the last year I have seen some truly horrid fab work and some truly great fab work. Some pretty ghetto SAS ideas and some good ones.


I would not sell Anthony an SA kit. He could not install it.

 

Thought I'd post my experiences with NE. I recently got a refund for the spacer kit from them. The spacers were uneven (no where near as bad as that picture though, those look like they were starting to melt or something!). There were definite deformities of the spacers, and I brought it to AK attention and sent them back to him. He told me that they must've been part of an "old batch" and that he was going to let him WA production guys "have it" for the making a bad set. It looks though like "they" had made several of these. He told me the new batch was going to have all these quality issues addressed. He did take a while to get them out to me in the first place. My wife ordered and paid from them in mid December for Christmas and I didn't get them until the 2nd week of January (almost a month later). So, I experienced shipment issues and bad spacers. Mine looked like they were shaped by hand. Don't think I'll be ordering from them ever again. I'm ordering my Revtek spacers today!

That is going too far. I've seen somone almost lose thier job due to a similar action by a disgruntle banned member (on a different forum).

 

poor anthony! he's such the vicitim!


anthony,

good grief, man. dont you know when to stop? after several weeks, you finally called in your "lifeline", got a clue and apologized to your customers and took responsibility---well, not really. to accuse others of your misfortunes!?! blaming the bolt vendor?!?!? blaming us mods? insinuating that we've done some "evil" to our membership here? those are some pretty serious charges---got any proof?

ah, didn't think so. but if you do, post them on your forum where you just talk to yourself, we'll print it out, and keep it in our "Libel" folder

re bolts: you didn't even know about the problem until YOUR disgruntled customers and former employee brought it to your attention! as a business person, its YOU that should have inspected everything coming in and going out. replacing the vendor is not the solution. seriously evaluating and replacing your lack of ethics and business mindset is the solution to your problems, not firing the bolt vendor.

as to the allegations of hacking, either put up or shut up. i personally would love to see the police reports, emails from dell, ISPs, etc. make all the allegations you want. playing the unwary and hapless victim does not help you in the least. in fact, your latest post revives this thread yet once again and draws more negative scrutiny to you. not to mention, your libelous statements have been recorded and printed out, so yes, they can be turned against you. but dont worry, we wont put you out of business because you're doing it to yourself quite nicely.

and as to the allegations that you've only existed as one person on the forums here, shall we post your PM back to us explaining how anthony is your step-brother? and shall we revive your NE threads and show the audience here how you abruptly started signing your fourunnabilly posts as "anthony" (your real name, mr. krueger) once you started NE?

and tell me when dell started an investigative unit to help customers whose computers have been hacked?!?! Can i have this dept's number? I can see it now, a new reality series called "Dell SVU" . we'll be glued to the tv set when it airs

bob

p.s. and thanks for keepin' the law enforcement dogs from us. we owe ya, anthony. i mean billy. i mean MT. i mean...oh heck, i dont know anymore

 

Why do I get the feeling, that Anthonys speaking about his multiple personalities whenever he refers to NE he uses the term "we", trying to make it sound like some big company, when it's obvious that NE consists as basically one person. Same goes for when he is talking about his "vendors", just call them what the are, the local True Value Hardware store, and some guy you ordered polyurethane from, off of ebay.

 

Home Depot?! I'm glad I sent that kit back! The bolts in mine looked that they were the higher grade bolts,but I'm no expert and if there is any uncertainty from others more experienced (like those here on YT) then they are not safe enough to drive my family around.Gary from Wheelers Offroad is sending me out my Revtek kit today.

 

Me too, but it was for my skids

 

I posted a link to a Pirate thread that has destructive testing of HD's Grade 8 bolts and they met the standard. As long as they are Grade 8, you are golden.

 

oh my god.

this is getting silly.

 

Getting? It was silly after 5 pages, ridiculous after 10 and now is just a big old waste of everyone's time.

 

Just like any other low-life, he just moves from spot to spot hoping his b.s. doesn't catch up with him. When the gig's up, he just moves on to try selling his polished turds elsewhere.

Exposing all his ˟˟˟˟˟ can only help honest owners looking to do *beneficial* mods to avoid cockroaches like him. Unfortunately once you get cockroaches, it's really hard to get rid of them- he's like some "forum virus".

 

Self replicating via multiple accounts....

 

LoL, Its such a cool thread I wont even post in it. but different strokes for different folks I guess. I am sure if I were to waste time and read the entire thread I could find something to toss my opinion in on but I would rather be bored, very ˟˟˟˟in bored and well be bored over posting in this thread.

 

I rest my case....

 

your avatar still makes me shake my head. I am picturing him being sad over the Michael Jackson case. I wish you would put your beast of a rig in there instead.
