The run was Great!!
And the FJ45 is on 42x15R15 Pitbull Rockers. It definitely looks even better in person! I had to get a couple shots of it too!
Cory, I wouldn't have recognized the tent on top as a tent if you hadn't posted about it in your camping mods thread.

Marlin building my buddy a new front driveline. He was totally cool and did a GREAT Job! I'm pretty sure the new one is stronger, straighter and more balanced then the one he pretzled coming down big sluice.

Hopefully I'll get some pics posted soon.

if thats your friends shaft on the ground, tell him to buy one with a thicker wall next time. it was bad ass Marlin fixed it though, he also burnt up his alternator welding on people broken stuff, he also replaced a rear output shaft seal on a red 4runner with a new seal Marlin just came out with. What a great guy.

I was sad to hear he burned up his welder. But he did so doing what he enjoys. Fabbing stuff!

And yes. He figured that one out. The one he broke was just a lengthened stock unit. The one Marlin built ended up having a thicker wall. But is still thinner than I would suggest. But boy it came out nice!! Marlin is a real Perfectionist.

Here are some more trail shots:

Climbing out of Buck Island Lake headed for Rubicon Springs


Marlin fixing Tommy's Driveline


Going out via Cadillac




We made it to the top!! No winching or strapping Necesary!
