or maybe, he doesnt wheel hard trails... cause lil sluice box would destroy toyotas like his... an even mine an mine is savagely built

Why do you say that? I have one of the cleanist (in my opinion) 1st gens I have ever seen on the trails, it gets wheeled, and wheeled hard! It has been through the box, soup bowl, big sluice, up cadillac, all the winch hills on Fordyce and it is still clean. It does have a small patch of "love scrapes" from soup bowl, but it is still really clean for what it is! Definatly not "destroyed" from the box. Here is a pic of the ONLY damage I got from running the box.

Proof its been in the box!

ya, i mean i guess if you have 3 t cases or like using your duals with 4.7's an what not you will never get body damage cause you will never get through the trail in one year... hahaha, jk. i got duals an 4.7s, but i mean some trail are just impossible to hit an not get body damage. an that yellow rig is clean as hell... but its never been in tank trap. the only way you can tell if a wheeler has hit tank trap is if there top left part of the cab is crushed... haha

So I guess building your rig to handle the trails you want to run is not the way to do things? I guess you should grab all them guys doing buggies with coil overs and atlas 4 speeds and tell them there doing it wrong. I was not aware you were supposed to grab any truck and floor it, bounce off every rock in site, destroy your truck to "wheel the hardcore trails".

this thread, like most is becoming quite lame regarding how "hardcore" you can be... if its your thing to spend hours and hours building something only to be foolish and go and wrecking it, then thats your issue but i dont understand why it means to some people that when your rig is beat to crap you are more hardcore than anyone else... really, it just means that you dont respect your truck and care less for what you built over the next guy that enjoys having a clean rig and actually displays skill while wheeling.. anyone with a built truck can go through anything and get body damage from front to back but its the skilled drivers that can go through those same obstacles and come through with next to nothing for damage.. these are the impressive guys and girls...
granted, we all get dings and scrapes doing things but i dont understand why Marlin would go through any obstacles just to prove how "hardcore" he can be when there is risk of him severly wrecking his truck.... he has been wheeling before a lot of you were even born and i dont think he cares to beat up his well built rolling advertisment of a truck just to impress some kids who show little to no respect to their trucks just because its considered fashionable to show little skill while driving...
yikes

im not saying much about hardcore. im still just wondering why no damage, but i have been gathering up that ya... he is past the whole young age an doesnt see a point in doing the amelessy hard trails cause it will just get body damage an his truck is super cherry. i was just wondering why it was so clean an never had a single scratch in any picture ive ever seen. not hating on him or his skill or anyones skill. im just a curoius kid. anthe whole buggy thing... they kinda do rally an destroy there trucks, its what they built them for. as did i... i earned all my money an am building one hell of a wheeler so i can try the harder trails

It important to remember that not everyone has the same goals for wheeling. Some people are not willing to destroy their rigs just to prove they can get their truck everywhere that is sort of fits while others think that body damage is a badge of honer. Some people will take a lot of time to figure out how to get through a difficult spot and others simply speed up.

I drive carefully and prefer a calculated approach to using speed. If I'm convinced that the only possibility is body damage or breakage I'll happily take my DD on an easier route or avoid the trail all together. If I had the opportunity to run a buggy I'd love to test my skills on some of the more wild stuff, but not in my DD, that would be nothing short of stupid. I've taken my rig places that I'd bet most couldn't do without significant damage, but there are places I simply don't go. I've run Pritchett Canyon three or four times without damage or breakage, but the last trip through I finally had to pull a winch on one of the hills. I'm not sure if I'll go back for a while as spots are starting to get where I'll have to drive harder than I want without pulling the winch and I'd prefer to run trails that I can drive. A winch, in my opinion is a recovery tool, not a way of getting somewhere, but I understand that some people think differently.

I'd say Marlin wheels more like me than the majority of you. I'm on the conservative end of things but that doesn't mean I can't wheel with the best of you.

It's interesting that some look at the lack of damage on Marlin's truck as a good thing and others assume that it means that he doesn't wheel hard stuff.

iv done the canyon at hollister... thats the only time i would do it no reason to tear your rig up,, ya the trail was fun.. but marlin isnt in his dont give a shitt stage in life like most wheeler are..hes like me... i like to take my time enjoy the trail and have fun with my kid.. i hate seeing all the baja guy

thought the point of dual cases and low gears was to crawl pick the right gear and line and crawl through it leave rock racing to buggies with v-8 and no bodys build your rig for what and how you run

Rocksurfer · « **Reply #79 on:** Dec 12, 2010, 05:44:20 AM »

Over the years I have wheeled many trails, in that time I've only done at the most minor damage to my trucks. My objective in any attempt at any trail is to minimize damage by picking my lines and yes even the use of a spotter at times. I don't need to take those alternate routes that guarantee severe damage to my rig, that would be plain ignorance on my part. Now if a section of a trail is unavoidable then yes I will with a technical approach and thought tackle anything before me but I will not and I repeat will not just stab and steer my way through anything. The things we do are very technical in nature and by just bashing your way through shows nothing but your lack of skill.

If you want to wheel like a buggy then by all means build one but to bash your full-bodied rig or even a truggy just shows that you truly don't get it. The majority of people that wheel their rigs not only want to try harder and harder obstacles but also want to show their skill at what they love to do. I don't think for a minute that Marlin's truck has never received any damage in fact I know it has but like me instead of leaving it damaged it gets fixed, he respects his rig not just because it is the marque for his business but a way of life for him as it is for me.

Are you telling me that you honestly believe that there's no stastical evidence to indicate that drivers that favor the skinny pedal are also likely to be drinking while driving rigs with body damage?

I've never seen anyone yell, "hold my beer," and then procede to drive slowly and carefully.

Body damage doesn't rally bother me as long as the doors still close. Make it or break it attitudes I don't quite understand though. My wheeling opportunities are few and far between and the last thing I want to do 10 minutes after I start wheeling is stop to make a trail repair. I'd rather wheel all weekend as opposed to fixing my junk all weekend.

well when a rookie wheeler wants to take his truck threw tank and doesnt mind body damage but has a stock truck you be a stand up guy and yank him threw what he cant make on his own every1 should have the rite to beat the hell out of there body on a trail if they want too that was prolly the most fun on tank. .

Wtf has this thread turned into? Marlin dont got a beat ass truck cause it wouldnt appeal to MOST wheelers who buy his products. Being dragged thru a hardcore trail in a stock truck is gay, I could drag a daewoo up some stuff, be just as gay. I myself like rigs with body damage, but ony well used rigs, like ones on pirate, bein wheeled hard with no exo for 7 years plus, not dudes that take a truck and drink a beer, and mash the pedal down a trail, sure its fun, but no skill. Any cheerleader that drives a scion can hop in a built toyota and floor it up something, you dont need to beat your truck all the time to get places, ti showing off most times.
