Ontario BS Thread

He got the Marlin RCLT kit, which uses a modified Land Cruiser 200 rack as a co-requisite.

 

another one with this kit that doesn't address up-travel problems... and the LC200 rack is weaker than Tundra, why did they choose it

 

Marlin claims the Land Cruiser rack is "stronger, larger, has an increased cooling capacity, and has three frame mounts instead of two."

The extra mounting point doesn't do any "benefit", so that's a gimmick. Cooling is achieved via the external cooler which any NAPA store sells for a fair $29,99. Both LC and Tundra have 38mm shaft diameter, so his claim is mostly marketing BS.

 

RCLT kit runs $9,700 - $11,600 USD as per Marlin website. Holy smokes that’s a lotta coin.

 

And don't forget eta for delivery is 6-12 months, now imagine you need just a part when you break something... Or say they go out of business.

 

Should I ever decide to play that hard, it won’t be via bolt-on IFS.

 

To bad you couldn’t just bolt-on stock parts from a full-size truck to create a long arm suspension setup. Oh wait you can, just need a Nissan.

 

I'm sure Nate will have surprises waiting for him in the build. For one thing, he has yet to unpack the McNeil glass fenders

If you look at his other builds on that channel, at that level (38-40" competition tires and doing some of the hardest trails in America), it would be expensive with a Jeep as well, with Dynatrac axle swaps and PSC steering rams. That'll likely be a $100k Tacoma by the time he's done.

 

I really hope YouTube pays well enough to afford building 100K Tacoma + Gladiator + other builds and other family/household things...

 

there are so many of them, it has to. i watched a video of a dude putting like $30k into the truck before it had 100 miles on it.

 

Speaking of the devil...

 

That and getting discounted and sponsored parts. Here's him wheeling Pritchett Canyon with Marlin Crawler's Mike:

 

I'm looking for a right front fender for a 3rd gen, pre painted (black). None currently on ebay unfortunately.... Anyone know of where I could get one?

 

Auto Body Parts Online Store | Car Parts in Canada (huntparts.ca)

or kijiji

 

Thanks!

 

Before I order- is there a difference between 16-19 and 20-21? I don't think there is, but does anyone know for sure??

(They don't have 20/21 listed)

 

there is none, it's all the same truck

 

Also... the fuck does CAPA mean?

 

quality or flimsiness of metal how I call, I always go for cheapest, difference is negligible.
