Crunch time before the MCR6

[BLACKDOG]

probably cheaper than gasoline in Cali

probably 


looking good CJ, better hurry up, or you might be hiking in!

[bigarms23]

why not have coils both front and rear

[megolfer]

Hes running leaf springs in the rar.  No need for coils.

[crazywb]

The main reason for marlin springs in the rear at this time is money. My butt is still recovering from the Fox shocks in the front. Another is I would have personal issues with natural light and Grizzly chew. I'm a Budlight and Copenhagen guy. Sometimes you just gotta have the finner things in life .  I'll post some pics of my newly rebuilt hubs with the 6 pin conversion.

looks good CJ, 

[crazywb]

Pics did not come out the best but here they are. Newly refurbished by Cruiser Dave   With the Marlin 6 pin conversion and Bobby Hub gears.  Will be on truck tonight. Also not exactly must do before trail but went to the junk yard with Marlin this weekend and scored a entire gray dash for my truck for 29.00 dollars. NO CRACKS LIKE BRAND NEW.  I hate red interior  

[79coyotefrg]

dang man, my dash looks like a blue boiled egg somebody  launched from a cannon 

[Matty]

looks awesome.  that ORS kit seems like good stuff.   just looking from the rolling pic is your axle far enough forward to clear big tires?  could you have moved it more if you wanted?

good luck with the big crunch before MCR6 hope it goes well.

The ORS kit is a cool setup.  LIke the build, see ya at mcr6

Links will force the tire forward under compression.

Hey man,

Marlin was at the shop until 10pm porting your cylinder head, doing a valve job, and resurfacing it, after he completely setup the bottom end with new pistons and bearings. He also had to clean out your exhaust manifold and cut into it to fit the exhaust bores. It had a bunch of carbon build-up, he really spent a lot of time with it. Between that and porting your N/A head, he must of spent a solid hour and half with the die grinder. There was metal all over the place and his hands were shaking from prolonged grinder vibration exposure.

If you don't get your together and make the round up, I will kill you! Marlin is really working hard on your engine, I hope it works out like T.I.T.S. for you.

Speaking of drivetrain, that reminds me:


That axle and suspension looks great, but it won't do you any good with out any thing above it!!

What are you putting behind the R151F transmission?

[topar]

Hay I have spoken to you once or twice on the phone.  Nice to see a face  Oh yeah nice truck!

Man what a great boss/friend!

I could guess, but i'll wait to see if i'm right 

[85toychris]

This thing is looking sweet.  I love to see crunch time builds.  Must be nice to have Marlin as an extra hand...

[BigMike]

ANY UPDATES?? ??

[iNfErNaL]

Yeah,that axle will move forward once the engine is in.Everything changes with weight,I'm also assuming his truck will drop about 2 or 3 inches after the motor is in.

[crazywb]

I hope the truck drops like 2 feet when the motor goes in. It will have a dual ultimate with mc-08 adapter for the bling factor and twin sticks. Ya I can't say enough about Marlin going above and beyond the call of duty for my truck. Hay Mike if you actually came too work you would know that I brought it in this mourning. LOL I'll post some pic's of it here at the shop asap.

[Willy Mammoth]

I'll see it in about  5 days, hope you have it done by then.

[BigMike]

Nice try

[MiniSimp]

Nice try

[fatt_matt]

[lilbuddy]

Wheres the updates/pictures?

[crazywb]

Mke took a bunch of pics yesterday, I'll see if he will post them.  I actually think I'm going to make it.

[superyota]

looks awsome! can't wait to see it this weekend.

[locktup]

You ready CJ 

Jason

[crazywb]

I'm about 90% ready.  Motor is running tit's .  I need to give everybody here a huge shout out.  If it was not the crew at Marlin I would have never made it. The first picture I was trying to use Angelo's head to brighten up the picture.
