Marlin finally shipped out my order this week, they admitted to dropping the ball. Talked to Nick (super nice guy) He made it right by covering all the shipping for my parts! I am very happy with my experience with Marlin. I am STOKED to say the least. Also getting parts from Brian at WabFab for my full floater rear axle! “I love it when a plan (TOYOTA truck)comes together!”

PICS to come soon...

That's a good looking truck. I prefer tall skinny tires (265/85-16 Gateway buckshots) my self. When I was younger though I loved to fling mud.
