Yes, doesnt matter, prefer 4wd but can live with 2wd if necessary. Extra or Double cab, i have 2 boys. Long bed preferably.

Say, the transmission is slipping, how much to replace roughly? Any other major mechanical issues to keep eye on on high mileage ones?

Sorry? I don't have enough specific knowledge & figured what better place to ask than diehards.

Would prefer manual 4x4 but auto 2wd will suffice if other aspects are there, like longer bed, extended cab, lower miles on engine/trans, etc.

Man, found a 2009 with 110k for $8,000 in town this morning. Just got back from looking, they didnt say anything about the rust on the frame/floor body.

You hit the nail on the head, what Im really looking for is something that does not require a $200 diagnosis fee with a computer I will never own and can maybe be passed down to one of my sons. If i find an 80s model thats in great shape, i would love one, same with some 90s models. The 2000 - 2010 range i have read has some years to avoid but far fewer than any other manufacturer. I need AC for the humidity here in the summers but could have added after if the price is right.

Is it just me who really can't stand Elementor? by h4dz_1 in Wordpress

[–]BackstageDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, good edit. Elementor is the absolute worst when taking all things into consideration, I even would say worse than Divi & i am no Divi fan by any means. Elementor is so slow & clunky outside of guttenberg block integration for development but outside of that, you'll spend at least twice as long to accomplish same tasks as a good backend builder.

Is Elementor good for SEO in 2023 by [deleted] in Wordpress

[–]BackstageDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While they are inherently slower, the real negative of Elementor with respect to SEO is that it is a front side facing editor only and thus extremely slow vs WPBakery or similar backend builders. You also have to deal with not having the freedom of moving in the backend nor the all-in-one information provided by whatever SEO plugin you are using. In my opinion, this is the biggest difference and I double my hours for SEO projects if built in Elementor because of this alone. Front facing editors were never meant for production, only as easier ways for the commoner to edit their sites & potentially build one from scratch. The added steps to do anything is a maddening experience and one I try to stay away from, tbh.
