I am originally from Arcadia, California.  I have a home just outside of Scottsdale, AZ, but I will be living in Albuquerque, NM until the end of the year. 

I have a 85 Yota front end with All Pro Springs, Shock hangers, 8" slip yoke, Vented disc brakes with SS lines, 1.5" All Pro spacers, All Pro high steer, Front end is pushed forward 5"s, Detroit Tru-track, and a F&^%%'n broken Longfield. 

I have been trying to get a hold of Marlin's sales department since early Friday morning, but no one would answer.  I need an axle pronto.   :help:

I am excited to be a member on Marlin's forums.   :thumbs:

I have not posted my rig on All Pros website. It might be Chris Geigers.

Well, when I first set out for a 4Runner I was searching for an 84/85, but could not pass up such a good deal on my '91.  I really love the EXTRA room and upgrades that come with the 2nd gen 4Runner.  The only regret is that I cannot romove the top when I want to.  I guess I might have to break out my sawsall.   :eyebrow:

Sawzall or the hot wrench  :flamer: If I knew then what I know now I would have bought me an IFS rig and did a SAS. Instead of holding out for  a Solid Axle rig. But I am happy with what I got  :yupyup:

It's those back side windows that'll hurt your feelings.

What is even harder to believe is that I scratched my window twice in the same spot on the same trail.    :smack:
