Inchworm Gear is a dealer for Trail-Gear, hence they carry the same parts.

Assuming you are referring to Toyota gear drive transfer case products, Marlin Crawler is the strongest and most reliable transfer case adapter and low range innovator, designer, and manufacturer in the industry. I apologize for my arrogance, but I boldly assert this as a fact.

If you are looking for facts regarding dual case setups available on the market today, please review this document: Understanding the Success of the Marlin Crawler
Remember that A/A and Trail-Gear use the old discontinued Marlin Crawler 6209 bearing and Inchworm uses the t/case mainshaft 6308 bearing, both of which are discussed in the above article.

As for low range gearing, I am preparing an article to clearly and definitively state why Marlin also has the strongest and most reliable gear sets in the industry. I will by publishing my research results here on the forum later this year.

In my opinion there is a reason why Marlin Crawler has been in business for over 12 years: Strength, Reliability, and a dedication to Quality that has set it apart from the rest of the market.

I know marlin owns the court when it omes to gears and what not but as far as that kit itself . Whould it be a good investment and whats the benifit over leafs? If im looking to make my rig as capable as can be is this something I might want to do?

I have heard many great things regarding the Off Road Solutions Kit. TacoRunner has it on his 3RZ-powered rig and he loves it! Also CJ (crazywb) here at the shop has their kit on his Turbo 2nd gen and he said the parts looked really great and he was very glad he got their kit.

This is going to totally change the way your rig wheels. I would make sure do get the best kit out of what is available on the market (whatever it may be) and do it right the first time. I wouldn't consider this to be something I would get in a price war with. If I needed a shift knob, sure, I might buy one that is $2 cheaper. But for something like this, I wouldn't want to play any games.
