    Does marlin offer the 3.5 to the general public?

    If I remember right, it's not available... Well to common folks like myself.

    Yup. They're still trying to build so much hype around it, I don't get it.

    Sounds like just more marketing to get deposits to pay for other debt.

    A simple follow-up to their previous emails would go a long ways. Provided that follow-up email is, at maximum, one to two days after a promised date has failed to have been met.

    No you are not alone. The people who get the marlin kit are happy with the kit, but bitter with the process.

    I've said this very thing to them over and over. People don't mind waiting if they receive communication that is clear. The thing that really got me bitter was not receiving follow ups after asking for help when the install didnt match their instructions.

    ".communication that is clear." The responses I've received from them are maddening because I say to myself out loud after reading them, "what does that mean?". I had my wife look at it and she just shrugged her shoulders. Sometimes I think whoever is responding to the emails is being purposefully unclear.

    Exactly. And it is always someone else's fault that there is a delay. It's a vendor or delay with outsourced powder coating etc.

    And this is why I have vowed to push them out of the marketplace.

    35s, flatbed, rhino liner paint, SOS front bumper, JD Fab lca pivot, JD Fab inner fenders and some other stuff.
    By letting them continue to keep operating like they are now. Offer products but not actually have anything for sale. I waited over a year for a Taco Box to be for sale and everytime I called they weren't taking orders, thankfully NW Fab stepped up and started making the eco crawler so I bought one of them. Dodged a bullet as far as I'm concerned.

    The crawl box is such an odd thing to not offer. Someone else said it before me but the crawl box prints money. Why not turn them out in numbers and keep selling them? Seems very strange to practically drop something that takes almost no effort to sell.
