Once my subscription is over with, I will not be renewing.  In the latest edition, they display T/C adapters along with other products from different manufacturers, but they left one out.  Marlin Crawlers adapters were not included.  Inchworm and Trail Gear's were both in there, but now the adapter from the company that changed the industry.  What a joke.  The magazine has turned into a mini TG catalog showing their inferior products and copies.  Enough Said.  Rant over.

i thought magazines were paid by companies to publish ads for them? i dont get it? you're pissed because there was no ad for marlincrawler? Is the magazine Toyota specific? I didnt think it was. I dont usually read mags for the ads. I dunno maybe I'm way off here

Are you talking about a product review they did?  or just ads?  If it wre a product overview or something, I think it should have been included, but if its just ads, then who cares?  Ad space costs money 

DTB, no, the mag is not toy specific

I will spell it out for you more clearly.  MC has a full page ad in the mag.  However, their adapters and gear kits were not included in the product review bu AA, Inchworm, and TG's were.

Well good thing YOU already know how well Marlin Crawler is built along with about a million others.

I see your point but I wouldn't cancel the mag just because of something like that. I know that Marlin (and crew) are awesome and have great service, parts and support... I dont need Crawl Mag to tell me that.

Yeah, maybe  :turtle: just chose not to include their adapters in the review. You never know. Crawl isnt one of my favorite mags but that is not enough for me to cancel my subscription.

If you notice in the credits in the front of the magazine, it lists Chris Geiger as a sponsor!  But, I love the mag, between it and toyota4wheeldrive, I have basically cancelled all over subscriptions! 

If you want to rant about it, the best place to go is www.timbercrawler.com and rant!  That is their forum.
