Hey all, I’m new to marlin and I’ve been working on my runner for years and just decided to start a profile here. Here is some work I did a few months back

-Pushed the axle forward 1” from original trail gear recommended position.
-Rock assault Tacoma width front axle
-Plated and gusseted both inner and putter frame on both sides.
-Trail gear steering box
-Pushed steering box as far forward as I could. ( didn’t take measurements)
-Replaced all bushings up front with OME
-New shackles and hardware
-New Fj80 ball joints

Oh and installed my Battle born headlocks!
I might be missing a few things.

I’m obviously not really good at documenting my progress but I’m always happy to talk about it. Haha

I’ll try to get better.

Let me know if y’all got any recommendations or constructive criticism. I’m down to talk :pokinit: too
