Figured it was time for another update here since I'm officially back in the driver seat!
As of yesterday I've put 100 miles on the new gears and everything is feeling and sounding great...so far so good!
I've been very careful to make sure to follow proper break in protocol and I can barley...
Here's a little Wednesday afternoon update for you all, I got the diffs back from Marlin Crawler and they should be installed within the next week or so!
I am curious if anyone here has a specific process which they prefer to use for breaking in new gears?
This will be my first time so I want...
@Cass007 Same to you! Am I mis remembering or didn't you also have an issue w/ your knuckle stud nuts?
If I am remembering correctly, seems it's mandatory that you get this patch from Witts End now!
Happy New Year everyone!

Yea I'm sure this is the reason, Marlin doesn't care though probably because it doesn't snow in Fresno lol - I spoke with them and a few of their guys run grizzly's on their daily drivers w/ no complaints. Granted they are not driving in east coast winters but.....whatever....I'll just need to...
@Rmtofast1 I appreciate this suggestion, Marlin Crawler does include a solid spacer standard w/ their rear end rebuilds but does not include it standard with the front end rebuilds for some reason, I made sure to add in on to my order w/ them for the front rebuild, thanks for the tip!
For those of you who are curious, OTRAMM does not do installs on any lockers except for factory style E-lockers!
OK 4wd will only install E or Air lockers no mechanical options and same goes for East Coast Gear Supply*.
*ECGS said they can do the re gear service no problem and also said if my...
Hey gang, it was great meeting up w/ everyone yesterday and despite my catastrophic breakage I had a blast!
Ended up having AAA pickup the truck today from Rausch and bring it back to my local mechanic, not cheap considering I only had basic coverage :rolleyes:. Needless to say I’ll be...
Sounds like a plan, what time are we all meeting at Rausch Saturday AM?
We'll be wheels up and Raush bound by the crack of dawn and will most likely be camping Saturday night.
Hey all!
Is everyone wheeling Friday or Saturday or both? @Ecliff5 , @PFRELENG and I will be able to make it out on Saturday but Friday is no good for us.
