Thank you Bear,Snoodly,
I'm sure someone will likely censor this, but I'm from a time before wokeness, where you respect a lady and always treat anyone kindly who could use an extra hand. There is a special place in Hell for whoever treated you this way.
You will find 99.99% of Mud members to be honest and helpful. Just keep reading as much as you can here, ask for guidance and suggestions and recommendations and hopefully you never run across another crook like this again. Sorry this happened to you. Best of luck to you.
I am a in the woods type of person and I find it more challenging when my truck is down and I'm unable to do the work anymore but I still have the drive to get my truck to the woods
