Topic: The Day Marlin bought his Truck, 30 Years Ago

[BigMike]

The Crawler truck has become a company truck but my truck is still my personal truck so no deductions for me yet.

And yes we have a good body guy, but let's not forget the Marlin Crawler goes a very long way in preserving your truck because you are not dumping your clutch bouncing and jerking all over the trail and accidentally contacting rocks or trees. Especially with triple cases like the Crawler Truck and my truck have: Whenever we are in a bad situation just drop the 3rd reduction unit into low range and take your time in being extra careful not to even scratch your truck.

The Crawler truck is proof that the Marlin Crawler puts a whole new definition to "tread lightly".

I'd guess he probably breaks more mechanical things than bends body parts, not only does he roll a unstoppable rig he has that eye for a trail and knows where not to put his rig. Plus he is going so slow in the worst parts that it is easy just to back up and try a new line.

sliders...$$$...bumpers and a winch...$$$...diff armor... $$$...triple cases and an eye for the trail...PRICELESS!   

Here's to 30 years of experience on the trail and innovation of some awesome products 

I'm a noob though so I need all the armor I can get while I save up for dual (eventually tiple?!) cases and develop my "eye"...especially with all the mud and trees up here in OR...good thing I just got my master's and a job finally.

That is cool...I ran into Marlin and his wife in Big Bear in 2006...he wheeled John Bull with us, broken ring gear and all
