Previous owner handywork stories
For most of my life I was lucky. Usually, "handiwork" was damn poor minor mechanical electrical repairs, nothing major. The big hit came with the awful hitch receiver that was on the "White Whale" when I bought it. I'm lucky the damn thing didn't just fall off LOL

After I got it out of there
Yup. That really WAS what "held it in there"
The wiring was no better. Evidently they played "Casino" with the wiring. Stripped ALL the wires, left them BARE, and sort of hooked up to sort of what might have maybe been the possibly correct wires
This is how I found it. Not even any tape, not even DUCT TAPE
Yup. nice. NOT
Bought a used receiver from the junk yard WITH BOLTS and bolted it right on, like it should have been to start. Bought some new U bolts and added some leafs from some overloads "to the stack"
