IMO i think it looks better than the black. It ties in with the grey on the grill and looks more "factory". Well as factory as it can on your truck with 35's

I take my hat off to you, you've done a great job, such a shame to have to sell, you should sell your clothes first and hope for a new job asap

hi fella's and thank you ive definately put a hell of a lot of time ,planning and effort to get my rig just how i wanted it , most of you will be glade to know im keeping its a struggle but its well worth it , still no work atm though and its busted the shifter in the marlin case so it'll be off the road until i get some more cash to throw around ...
the marlin crawl box is one product i will not be purchasing again due to problems i have had with it, jamming in gear and now this which also caused metal from a busted shift linkage to pass through the box smashing a bearing race which seizied the case all because of two little welds and "shoddy workmanship" another thing that pissed me off is theres no after purchase support,accually when i was fitting the case marlin crawlerthey helped gratiously but i messaged them recently about this problem and no reply which i find very annoying seeingi cant find a person here that will touch it

throw the crawler out... or sell it. a truck like this should not be crawling around on rocks.. chuck it on the spirit, get it over here and come to the high country so you can get it dirty..
glad you are keeping it. even if you dont drive it for a while its worth waiting!
this is good news, push on mate, hope the work comes soon!
What do you do, if you dont mind me asking?

.....And So One Book Closes, And Another One Is Started.
Just A Shame About The Reason!
Hope Everything Works Out Soon, And You Can Get Yourself Into Your Next Project.
What Tourer Are You Interested In ?
