Bought alot of stuff from Marlin so i thought i'd jump on the forum.

I live in N.California, Drive an 82' Toyota PU with some goodies. 

Marlin products include... Dual Marlin Cases, Marlin X-over steering, Marlin rebuilt tranny and clutch kit.  You guys are a great resource for all of us wheelers!  Keep up the great work and good service.

Looking forward to chatting with everyone on the board.

Hey Shamb, I really like the way your truck looks.....

Could you post some pics? Also I will be bobbing my bed and I was wondering how many inches you took out.
