    No way. That's the only thing I've ever ordered from Marlin that they had in stock. Still took over a week to ship though. lol

    A guy just showed me his front/rear curry 9” set up he just ordered and it was less than 15k. Only slightly.

    Also for a JK so it’ll be a bolt on conversion.

    Some flags and center console divider... lots of things on the wanted list.
    For 15k, you could buy and build 10 jeeps...

    You are auto right? Did you use it with the stock transfer case or do you have to swap that to the gear driven case?

    Yep. I'm an auto.

    All gear driven cases are passenger drop. If you SAS you can run a passenger drop. If you stay IFS you need to keep the stock driver drop chain case.

    This is test fitting the trans tail housing to make sure it was correct. Shifter in place to bench test as well.

    [​IMG]


    Prepped for install

    [​IMG]


    Going in. You get one shot.

    [​IMG]


    In and bolted up tight.

    [​IMG]


    Cut for the new stick location. Crawl stick goes in factory location.

    [​IMG]


    Sticks and shifter work completed.

    [​IMG]


    Console work completed.

    [​IMG]


    Shake down run on Dusy/Ershim.

    [​IMG]



    Total cost was just over $2000. I had new driveshafts made and picked up a junkyard t-case. That way I could keep my stock case and shafts. If the crawlbox ever fails I can pull it and throw my stock case and shafts in then be wheeling again fast. You can probably do it for $1300 or so without those extra costs.
