So you want pics of Marlins truck with all the moderators standing around it
I hear that Marlins' truck never actually rolled of an assembly line anywhere. In actuality, he found it running wild in the Sierra Nevada mountains. After observing it in it's natural environment for several months, Marlin learned its habits and lured it in close with a lame, half starved Jeep. Marlin initially startled the wild Toyota, causing it to bolt. However, while the Toyota was slowed by a large bolder, Marlin was able to jump in the bed and eventually make his way into the cab. The ride was on and in the next several days (something Marlin is still reluctant to talk about) he was able to tame the wild beast. With his legendary Toyota whispering abilities (refer to Petersen's 4 Wheel & off-road, June 1985) Marlin was able to soon form a trust with the truck. He shod it in better tires, tended to it's shortcomings (lockers, duals, etc.) and began to show it how to better conquer the higher peaks and lower vales of his beloved Sierra Nevada mountains. Through bitter mountain cold and blazing desert heat, through thick or thin the two were inseparable. The rest is history.
I think the tranny is out of the Japanese fire truck. It has a super low first and second is like our first then third is like our second but 4th is still 1:1 and fifth is the same as ours. If I remember right. And the t-cases are still mini truck cases.
