Hi Matt ( the guy behind the mig gun)

I love you too.

Well I drove it a bit today and I have another issue to deal with. The toybox is puking gear oil out of the top of the shifter, so I am thinking it is not venting. I'll deal with that in the morning I gues...

are you running a new lower boot?

If you get sick of it, The bling shifters Marlin sells take care of it.

CaliCruiser · 06-20-08, 09:28 PM

What is the lower boot? Is that the piece that slides over the shift tower on the top of the toybox? If so then yes it is brand new. What is the new bling shifter? I'm already sick of it, it is a pretty good leak and it is definitely originating at the top and dripping down.

Looking good Dylan. Hopefully we'll get a trail run in some time soon.

kinda like this

Marlin Crawler

but with a single shifter and cheaper then the twins

CaliCruiser · 06-26-08, 09:09 PM

Well I double and triple checked that it wasn't overfull and it wasn't. It seems to be slowly happening less and less when I drive it. I did add a vent to the side of the toybox, I'm not sure if that helped or not.

After a little bit of wheeling last weekend, everything seems to be working well.

Transmission crossmember held up well (Thanks again Matt)
Twin sticks work really well and operate way better than factory.
I need to bend the outside twin stick shifter (hi-N-lo) a bit from rubbing on the body.
Putting the toybox in 4.7 and leaving the split case in hi is perfect and then locking the split case into low is the ultimate stupid low.
5th gear in a SOA wagon is just kick ass with 4.88's in the diffs and 35's

how's it treating you

CaliCruiser · 08-05-08, 08:01 AM

I love it. We wheeled Fordyce Creek last two weeks ago and it kicked ass. How's yours?
