I also tried fixing them, but the pictures are not coming up

If you file names do actually include the "[640x480]" at the end, then you should remove this since the forum software uses square brackets [] for its Bulletin Board coding.

Yes, that is the plan.  Gotta do something to say thank you to Marlin and the crew.

So how has it been going.  Haven't talked to you in awhile.

Hey guys, Try this link and see if it works for you.  There are other pictures in this album that are not of the crawler though.

Its been good, still on tour. I'll be back in SoCal next weekend for the Ontario show. You gonna be there? Let me know your plans for MCR when it gets closer. I'll be going with the magazine crew as usual, ARB and I think Mark from MetalTech is going too.

Well, I got the '05 back Saturday from Marlin and it crawls. They did an awsome job up there. I'll have more pictures up tonigt when I get home but just wanted to let you know that the MC11 is now available for the '05 and up 4.0 auto Taco's. The six speed is still some time off and now I know why. The input shaft is completely different from those used in the past.

They also changed both driveshafts for me and got them from High Angle driveline and the one piece drive line in the rear solved the horrendous vibrations I was getting.

I'll get more pictures up tonight showing everything.





Anyway, just a big thank you to Marlin, his wife Chris, Big Mike, Dave, Rocky, Angelo and all the others that spent so much time working on this project. It will be put to good use.

Here it is. The first MC11. Isn't that little turtle a cute fella?



Here is the front and rear adapter plates and the reduction box with 2.28 ears in it. All protected by Rockys handy work of a skid plate cross member combo.



Here is a picture of the rear most portion of the skid plate.



The front of the skid plate.



Another of how it protects the transmission.

OK! Here is the one piece rear drive shaft that got rid of all my vibrations. Just this was worth the wait.



Yes. That is a high pinion heavy duty Dana 60 that has a Toyota style flange attatching the driveshaft. It is stronger than the 1350 yokes that were back there before and a whole lot easier to work with.



Another shot of the the rear shaft. I really like this setup alot better. I'll never do another swap without it. Infact, I'm having Marlin make another set of drive shafts for me right now just incase I break one of these.



Here is the front connected to my Currie Rock Jock 60. These will provide me with more room to flex in the front before binding that the 1350 ujoint setup did and is stronger to boot. Gotta love it.

Hot was right. I'm glad James and I got to spend sometime on the truck before you left. And I'm glad I test drove it, I had never drove a 3 link truck.

One bad ass truck!

UPDATE

Got the shift boot in and it looks like Toyota should have done this from the beginning.

Here is the classic Marlin Crawler shift nob. Gota love it.


And here is the bling bling shift nob that Rocky made out of billet aluminum.
