Whats the story on Marlins Flop?

mudaddict · « **Reply #20 on:** May 01, 2012, 06:19:51 PM »

mike i forgot to tell you we were talking with marlin sat morning about how clean the truck was still and all that now look what happened

BigMike · « **Reply #21 on:** May 01, 2012, 06:20:21 PM »

He was just Crawling down Boulder Dash and happened to climb up a rock on the passenger's front.... He said it just went up and he kept going and then it just slowly tipped over. I'm sure he just figured it would gently come back down.

No one saw it go over & I was 3 or 4 rigs back. Suddenly everyone jumped out of their rigs and started running and when we got there they were just sitting sideways saying they are a-okay.

When we pushed it back over, Marlin was just standing there looking at his truck. He didn't think it was going over but it slowly did.

The damage wasn't too bad, the only bummer is it tagged the top of the roof. It's at our body shop getting repaired so it'll be ready for the Fresno 4WD Blue Canyon run May 19th.

Hey mudaddict! It was cool you guys stopped by to say Hi. Marlin took some driver's side damage out at Texas two weeks ago, so it's a good thing we didn't get it fixed before the Hammers

To bad about Marlins flop...

At least its getting fixed!!!

BigMike · « **Reply #25 on:** May 02, 2012, 02:35:46 PM »

This is only the 3rd time on it's side since Marlin began wheeling the Crawler Truck in 1983 (it's never been on it's top).

The first time Marlin was driving with his daughter Chrystal, I believe down at a TDS event back in the 90s.
The second time a customer was driving the Crawler truck and he laid it over.
And now Marlin laid it over on Boulder Ally.

Therefore you could say that of the 29 continuous years of wheeling, the Crawler truck gets on its side every 116 months

Peterbuilt84 · « **Reply #26 on:** May 02, 2012, 03:03:57 PM »

Walked over and saw the damage when he got back to camp, never thought I'd see the day

lol. It was nice meeting you BigMike!
