    honestly thinking im just gonna go tc or some other lt kit and go to war with the firewall for 37s, but for the price of this kit i might as well beam it or go find a pos taco and just center mount it

    Both of those options won't make sense without three or four linking out back and then caging. Just get a standard kit and start from there.

    Great news guys, it sounds like they will be taking orders at the beginning of November and shipping them out by the end of the month. I'm officially holding my breath starting right now because we've never heard this before. I'm also sure that I'll be able to pick up a taco box at the same time too.:facepalm::frusty:

    Ha. That’s what they said month after month. I gave up and went with JD fabrication. Harry is awesome and I’m real excited to get it all put on!

    I didn't look at the thread title when I hit the notification. Had to scroll up to see if this was the marlin thread. Lol.

    I really appreciate the kind words and FYI I just picked up 10 more sets of arms from the laser cutter and will be doing a group buy very shortly

    so what is the biggest deference between these two kits. I just read this one after reading 81 trekker and i know i am not the best at this but they seem liek they accomplish similar things

    Stuff. Also things.
    That’s a pretty big difference :rofl:

    One is made of steel, the other is made of hype? :notsure:

    The main differences from what I can tell is Marlin offers a fully fabricated spindle vs a spindle gusset. Marlin offers a whole new steering rack vs a steering rack slide gusset thing. Marlin LCA's are designed a bit differently and appear to have better ground clearance.

    I saw the truck with the RCLT kit on it at KOH this year but it had a stock rack on it so I’m very curious if anyone knows more

    That's interesting because I wouldn't expect the stock rack to hold up to the abuse of KOH.
