    They can't deliver on anything and you expect them to make an announcement? Lulz. The announcements are on the same shipping schedule as everything else...

    @BigMike

    I'm confused... :confused:

    I was looking at the MC RCLT kit and waiting for release on your guy's website for a long time but when it finally released the sticker shock was too much for me plus it needed like an additional couple thousand in parts not supplied, 12k+ was just unrealistic for me.

    :eek:

    But reading this first post apparently there's a "basic" MC RCLT kit that reuses the factory knuckle and axles etc for the less hard core?

    I assume this option is cheaper as well?

    So... What's the scoop and where can I find the less crazy option and how much is that route?

    I don't plan to go larger than 35's ever really, but I do want a bullet proof rig I can drive cross country in and wheel along the way with impunity.

    You could do that, yes. But anyone competent enough to do that probably wouldn't send a truck to Hammers with adjustment slots in the steering pickup on the knuckle.

    Or this, hopefully MC sold all the stocks and crypto they bought with people's deposits at the top last week.

    Well, it's been a week since they last said they will start shipping in about a week.

    The update email last Wed said they will finish making the remaining parts tomorrow (last Thursday), then an estimated 1 week for electroplating, then shipping orders (which would be today at the earliest). I still haven't seen instructions posted, which would be nice to see exactly what's involved (primarily for fitting the 200 series rack).

    And yes. It should be no surprise that those of us who shelled out $7700 plus are still very much expecting Marlin to deliver, hopefully in the timeframe they outlined in their update email last week.

    Have you guys looked at the forum on Marlin Crawler's website? "Big Mike" hasn't posted on that one since March 2020. :D

    Yep, read through that a while ago. They haven't posted anywhere for a while. Busy working on RCLT maybe? Or maybe I'm being too hopeful. Time will tell.
