minus-squareFinal Remix@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoHard to find a decent manual in my area for sub-10, too. Lucked out on a 20-year old f150 with very little wrong with it for 4 grand, then another 4 grand to fix it up. Would’ve spend 7 grand on a Ranger with a machinegun rod knock.
