    Isn't the Marlin discontinued though?

    Thought I read that somewhere in another thread.

    yeah, plus the only Marlin receipt he included in that folder of receipts was for the Marlin shifter bushing. No mention of the clutch/flywheel like he put in his text message that you forwarded me, but no biggie either way.

    I'm not sure if it's actually discontinued or what, I do know they rarely have it in stock and when they do it goes out fast

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    I don't think they can get parts anymore, seems they've stopped selling any clutches at all.

    Ahh ok.

    Their short shifter kit is still available though? I only hear great things about it.

    Probably, they have issues keeping anything they make or have to assemble in stock. They're very much reactionary with stocking stuff.

    The Merlin kit is 100% discontinued. Josh beats the shit out of his truck so he is looking for something stronger than OEM

    I just bought one that's all organic so you can slip it safer than ceramic clutches but claims more strength than even the Marlins. But haven't run it yet, soon though.

    We sure can, that's called a discussion :) I'd have more of an issue with neighbors doing burnouts and shit out front. . .

    Mine actually might not. The leak looks lower passem side. I couldn't ID it but I gotta call this week and have it in the shop to find out how much I'm screwed :)
    An easy solution to this would to be to live up a private/gated street. I mean I think we all wish we had the money for that :laugh:

    I called the cops on the car that would park, tucked away in the corner of my spot every day for a stretch. They were shooting heroin though and my neck walked home from school, those two didn't need to mix. Like your situation, it was not the parking that was the issue but the illegal shit they were doing.

    Thats exactly why I bought where I did. No house directly across from mine, driveway is 100' long, only neighbors are a retired lady on one side and another bachelor like myself on the other. The goat farm/butcher shop down the street is the only source of traffic when that's in season.

    You couldnt pay me to live in the HOA cattle pens like my parents do.

    I've had an exedy stage ? In the Tacoma for 10ish years and it's still going. That's 50k mi of stop and go and wheeling. I've even slipped it to the point where it overheated and wouldn't grab til it cooled years ago on 35s and 3.91s on a hard line. I'm still running it :D
