Checking in from Austin/Buda TX. I've been getting stuff from Marlin for years, just never played on the forum. I'm a regular at toyotaoffroad.com. Seems like I spend more time building than I do wheeling. I bought my 83 Toy 3 1/2 years ago, it had been sitting in a field for several years. I bought it for $800 and I am now looking at over $12000 invested! I'm going to be doing a 3.4 engine swap next summer. Until then I have been relying on Marlin's 4.7 gears to get me up most stuff.
