DBL Designs - Install Issues & Dishonest Business Practices
I have already created another detailed thread related to this topic, so I am not going to spend anytime in this post/thread giving detailed information about the issues. If you would like to know all of the details, please see the associated thread below.

I decided to create a new thread, in an additional/different forum in EP, as a means for the information to reach more people. The reasons why I am posting this topic in this thread, revisiting it, is to inform those that may not see it in the other forum and to show how I have fixed/addressed the issues on my truck as a result of DBL's installation. I'm also trying my best to keep the energy associated with DBL out of the build thread.
Note: I have addressed many of the issues related to DBL's Installation of the SRW conversion and front fenders, but some are still in process. Once I have everything completed, and back together on the truck, I will create another post with pictures or the repairs.
I'll have to say though, the toughest part of this was finding all of these issues the day after I finished all of the sanding on the exterior of the camper. (I should have been feeling some relief, should have been taking some time to celebrate such a milestone on the build-finishing all of the sanding on the camper 😔!) It was not only dealing with the reality/struggle of finding the issues, but also having to pretty much start addressing them immediately, as to not hold up other aspects of the build. Talk about kicking you when you are already down 😔😔!!
Back to the crazy thing called the build!

Warning!! DBL Designs - Install Issues & Dishonest Business Practices
I’m going to try my hardest to keep this objective and on point. I promise to refrain from using subjective terminology such as hack shop, slimy, etc. I’m also attempting to keep this post as short as possible, but I know that will be difficult given the number of issues that I have...
