Whats his secrets to wheel for as long as he has and keep it sooo clean...?

Marlin is a very technical driver. For as long as I can remember, I've never seen Marlin be a throttle jockey. I know there were some times when we were testing out our Marfields way back in the day when he was hammering the throttle, but other than that, he always tries to let the truck find traction naturally on it's own looong before he tries anything else. He even tries everything open-open until he starts to loose traction before even winking at the ARB locker buttons. When I was learning how to drive he used to always tell me, "Let the truck find it's traction"

Here he is on Jack Hammer, and I believe this is one of the very first times Jack Hammer was ever ran (or perhaps this is the virgin run of it?) and Marlin says he was the very first Toyota pickup up Jack Hammer, and this is the photo proof! :clap:

Somewhere around 1996-1998?
