opinions on companies?

hey all. I know im going to get burned by this question buuut i am very curious. out of these 3 companies which does everyone think they would rather purchase products from. judging from quality, trail performance, customer service, and warranty.

-trail gear
-marlin crawler
-all pro.

any input would be super. ive had a good experience with trail gear thus far but have heard different opinions. I just bought my yota and am very new to the old truck experience.

cheers, tyson.

p.s.-ocdropzone i will post pics of my box very shortly.

People Love to bash TG for whatever reasons they have, they all are different.

That given, i have ran TG parts and still do. But it depends on what parts you are talking about getting. It just comes down to who you want to support.

I have no problem dealing with TG or Marlin, but i haven't dealt with allpro.

marlin and TG apparently both have really great customer service. I get parts i order next day most of the time from either company.

My Experience with Trail-gear (most of it through Wab-Fab): ordered way too much stuff from them: one order got fubarred'--they went out of their way to make it right. No fittment issues, etc

Marlin: Ordered stuff 4x's--they screwed it up 3 x's.

No experience with All-Por--but have heard their springs are worse than trail gears when it comes to sagging early

Pictures of you bed sometime would be cool..

it all depends on what your buying. marlin has great transfer cases and what not but all pro has excelent roll cages and armor. i dont know much about trail gear.

as a trail-gear dealer, i have had great success with every order i have put through... both for myself and for customers. They ship same day and parts arrive within a few days.
