Marlin Crawler's New Rock Crawling Long Travel IFS Suspension System (#RCLT)

Current word is that the 2nd batch will start shipping out around July. The website itself gives no indication of estimated ship times.

 

They already have a list of people who have paid for their kits in full. They're sure to be way in the red if that is the situation and TW is in for a repeat on previous company failures.

 

I don’t know anyone in the GX circle who actually has the kit yet. I know of two members on Facebook that purchased and have ancillary parts rolling in like RCV axles and such but otherwise haven’t seen boo materialize for the RCLT.

 

Marlin says they are sending out an update today.

 

Sent from a Mansion deep in the jungle of a carribean Island that has no extradition treaty with the US. Good luck everybody!

 

This sucks. But I think that you’re correct. They’ve been building this scheme up for years now.

 

Getting late on the west coast. Where's the update?

 

They’re waiting to tell everyone they are pulling a Wyatt.... too soon? Ugh I hope this doesn’t got badly

 

It's not like it's made of wood...

 

They said they are waiting on LCA bushings which are a week out and once they are received back from electroplating they will start shipping. There have been other delays due to non-standard sized parts, so they have since changed their designs to use more readily available parts.

 

Apparently the only ones who actually get this kit are ppl who have a big influence on social media cause ive seen a couple of guys on Insta and you tube saying they were either running this kit or were putting it on their truck soon. Looks like the people who have no influence get shoved to the side and told we will get to you when we can on this kit. While no doubt im sure this kit will be everything it is described i would pass on it simply because of the horrible customer service. JD fabs the way to go for something HD like that now.

 

In theory there is a list of people who are "getting" the kit. So I don't know where on the list the Insta people are. The Marlin website shows a few pre-production installs and their previous email update said they installed production sets on two trucks, one being Big Mike's. I assume part of this is to develop the install instructions.

 

Installation instructions for a LT kit should literally take no more than 4 hrs more than it took to install and take pics while doing so. If you need instructions on tearing your suspension apart then probably shouldn't be doing it.

 

I posted this in 2019 somewhat joking. Seems like my crystal ball was working that day!

 

Shoulda bought a lotto ticket that day

 

Not disagreeing with you in terms of time, I was referring to people already running the kits. They are saying the delays are due to external parts, the last of which are bushings.

 

I wouldn't know about that seems like others are able to get their custom parts pretty easily.....

Sounds more like excuses as usual those same comments were made for crawl box time frames and other products. It's kinda their MO

 

Shoulda bought crypto

 

What 99% of you don’t understand is that there’s 75% chance that 10% of those that paid 100% will get a a system that is 40% stronger that stock... see putting together a Big Mike press release is easy.

All of Big Mike’s numbers and the suggestion of pre-pay made me run.
