New Mexico Owners BS Thread

Because of the chain drive, didn't think it could be. Let me know if you heard something different. Going for a lower low range is why I'm considering the Marlin Crawler gear-driven Lefty with a 4.7:1 low reduction.

When do you want to pick up or have me drop off the boot kit?

 

Look at that V8 goodness! Yeah, buddy.

Thinking about it, yes. I have another Moab trip lined up for late March. If that one materializes I'll most likely skip the TW meet. The last meet was way too unorganized for my taste (lots of runs that fell through). I rolled out there solo, and from what I experienced, if you weren't part of one of the little cliques, you were on your own.

If I were in your shoes, I'd call Motiva and ask for a referral. Those guys are a real deal speed shop and they've treated me well.

Let's turn that 90% into a 100%!

This post is worthless without pics.

That option just showed up on my radar as well. I was reading a thread on T4R.org and Steve Schaefer of Sonoran Steel alluded to the possibility of Marlin being out of the lefty game for awhile due to an alternate business focus...

 

Sweet, man, I'll check it out... Thanks!

Will do. Thanks ,man!!

 

Sorry, I'll be in Florida with your wife for the first 10 days of February... But after that I should be free. B-)

 

Aren't you married?? I guess your wife will need company herself while you gone
Edit: just kidding

 

Good one...;-)

 

But really, I'll be in the Clearwater area during that time...

 

Damn.lol nice area enjoy the weather.lol still crashing at your house

 

It's all ready child proofed... But I guess I'll have to Air Force proof it also. Anyone have a place where I can store my guns and tools? Or does anyone have a whole bunch of comfy roller chairs I can borrow, Ohh and they have to be ergonomic!

 

Hmmm. Ponethousand just got a crawl box from Inchworm so not sure what they have for manufacturing capacity. He ordered it a couple weeks ago. Not sure if they had it sitting on a shelf or what.

At $3k, I won't be ordering anytime soon but hoping sometime this year.

 

Should I get new bushings for the shocks?

 

yea and didnt he buy a 4wd wagon or something?

damn that sucks man but glad the taco was fine and most imprtantly you were ok

 

Yes and I'm gathering that he wants to turbocharge the engine or something.

Hey Scott or other electrically savvy peeps, any idea what crimp-on connector I need for this harness plug?

 

hey yall

 

Thank you, sir! very, very helpful to know of a local place.

 

So found a company to make a cover for the bed rack. I might as well get a leer cap. I'm not going to pay $800-1000 for a cover. Time for some decisions

 

You have a woman... Buy her a sewing machine...

 

Look she's not coordinated to that extent.lol but did you get my message?

 

Fact... and a Panini Press

 

Hey so I had a bad experience today and want to send out some advice! Take it how you want but I wouldn't want anyone to go through what I did! So I woke up Monday night with a lot of pain in my eye and watering! Didn't think much of it, couldn't see anything in it so I went to work on tue. It started to hurt again almost felt like it was scratched. So I was putting eye drops in and it would sting every time I did. My eye started to get really swollen and hurt so I left work. That was a scary drive home cause it was affecting my vision. Got home took some allergy medicine and went to bed hoping it would be better today. Woke up today and was still swollen. I went to the doctor today thinking maybe pink eye. He put dye in my eye and saw something. He immediately called the eye dr and sent me there saying it was an emergency. They numbed my eye took a look and saw a piece a metal that was rusting. Pulled the metal out then had to take a drill and grinder to get all the rust out, talk about crazy seeing a drill going into your eye. Got it all out and I still have 20/20 just really sore, but if it had been another day they told me my vision would of been affected and would of been bad!

Soooo moral of my story, ALWAYS wear safety glasses when doing work! Even if it's something small your doing. And if something doesn't seem right get it checked right away!
