    I mean its pretty cool but less impressive that it was built by a company with the inhouse expertise, fabrication and overhead capital to make the purchases. I mean they spent $20,000+ just on axles and hydro steering.

    I think I'm more impressed with those doors, I'll take a set.

    he mentioned they are working on a replacement quick connect/disconnect hinge to work with his doors and the factory doors...i'd be interested in that...would be nice to be able to quickly take off the doors like on a heep

    hell yeah, take them off in the morning, go wheeling all day, put them back on later that evening...if it took less than 30mins to get all 4 on/off, i'd be game for that all day long.

    I definitely liked the doors and if he gets those hinges worked out I’d probably be down for a set too.

    Well shit I mean great for the owner of fab four sounds like he really enjoyed being able to use his past 20 years of work to make essentially a toy that he can use as advertising and business expense.

    By the sounds of things he won't be shy to get out and wheel it too

    It’s definitely a sweet build. I’d like to see some videos of him wheeling it with those dual cases.

    I'd imagine it'd be like @BigMike with his dual then triple case on 40's with IFS

    Looked like a Marlin decal on the back glass.

    There’s a point of diminishing returns, while it’s cool to be super slow and stuff, most of the time it’s entirely too slow. 100:1 is ideal is most cases and anything beyond that is rarely used.

    Cool truck and all. This video is 50 minutes long! This isn't a discovery channel documentary. Should be shortened to 15 minutes.

    too bad Marlin can’t pump out the taco boxes. I’d buy one if they were readily available.

    Likewise, buddy of mine was on the waiting list for like 8 months then cancelled. I don't know of anyone with one outside people such as this who can "advertise" for them. It makes sense to give FF one because it brings a lot of attention to Marlin but, does anyone actually have one and in use. I know there are some rare cases in the older Tacomas but I see more Atlas cases than anything.

    Tacoma Dad on YouTube does. That’s the only “residential” customer I know of. The rest are all commercial vendors like FF.
