Finally got a chance to wheel it last weekend, 1 year to the day I bought it :)

Love the marlin 4.7 gears and dual case setup. I was in double low most of the weekend, cruised the easier trails with the 4.7 case. And the front e-locker worked great as well. But it is slow to disengage at times, I quickly found its easier to put it in reverse for a couple feet to get the elocker to disengage. But for the $75 I paid, I can't really complain about it :) Beats being open up front.

The new tires worked great all around, of course the gearing and lockers helped as well. But there were a few hills that everyone will take a small run up to get up. And when they tried to crawl it, they would have to back down and try again with some speed. I managed to walk right up them in double low, 2nd gear, locked front and back. I think my tires were the reason I was able to crawl up those hills.

Here are some pictures of my truck from the weekend.
