What I would really like to do is a series of videos featuring Marlin talking you through a given repair. Diff set up, tranny repair, tcase rebuild, dual case, 4.7 gear install, ect. We could put compressed version of the video up on our web site and offer a vhs/dvd version for something like $10.

I think Marlin comes across in a very friendly & understandable way and we could create a huge technical library of info this way that would benefit thousands of wheelers.

We could call it Marlin TV Or MTV for short

I have a toyota shop manual for mine and my friend said they don't even have them at the shop.

Working in a tranny shop, I can tell you that Toy's t-cases (the 4cyl. in particular) is one of the easiest to go through. They only require 3 things that most shad trees don't have, A press, bearing splitter (just a special clamp for the press) and a clean bench. My expirience is that the latter is the hardest for shade trees to accomplish. (me included, Please!! don't look in my garage!)

Well we have this little number we have been working on for Pickups and 4Runners. This is just a prototype. I don't have a cost or timeline yet but it's something we hope to offer in the future...

[84runner]

Just a little tease then a Chris  what about a update on the disconnect too while your at it.

[Marketing]

No more info to report on the disconnect, all is going well, it's still going to be a few months till we have the production units.

You guys should sell FSM's too

I picked up a FSM for an 85 pickup/4runner off of ebay from some guy in Europe for 15$    He just took the FSM and burned it onto a cd.  Throw a decent looking Toyota cover on it and it's good to go.    It uses Acrobat Reader and you can scroll and print out what ever you need of the 1000+ pages in the manual.  Don't know if I can copy it though.  Haven't tried.
