It looks awesome
Too funny, I was thinking about this guy the other day. His original piece was so charming and fun for some reason. Made an impression on me
So it’s good if you can and enjoy fixing, replacing, and tinkering a lot - not if you want something reliable and durable - which is what I expect from electronics I import from China.
The only thing that had broken was one of the rear reflectors, and that’s only because my dad crushed it
After two years of near-daily use, the truck is holding up admirably. I know that fact is going to drive the haters up a wall
Bruh, of all possible criticisms?
Did you miss the part where he had to replace the shocks, the tires, restore the bed … ?
shocks for comfort, tires wear out, and he put a bed liner in like the vast majority of trucks have. Nothing out of the ordinary.
Dude seems happy! You figure the author is only impressed because of his skin ($) in the game?
I’m sure he’s happy! My point is that this really isn’t a solution for everyone given some of the major flaws. A lot of people appear to be upset by this, and some are even choosing to imagine some rather nasty things.
Great story! I did the math based on the author’s statement that the american equivalent (not being made at scale) is 5x more at $37,000 and all total they paid about $7,000 to get the truck from the factory to Florida.
For context, a '94 Ford Ranger costed $10,000.
Aw, thought there was another update. Good share, I even reread it.
