I Dig your license plate

 

I've seen your truck on other sites. Very nice.

 

Sent you an important PM Mike. Need you guys to call me about a Marlin Toybox install in a FJ40.

Welcome Big Mike! Do you have a write-up on your 3RZ swap?

 

Thanks for all the warm welcomes

37 pages... have fun!

 

Welcome Mike, I've read loads of your articles on Marlins tech section and forumn. Thanks for all your input, has made my life easier:-)

 

Just wanna say that I installed a Marlin Crawler shifter bushing into my 1991 V6 5spd
last year and while the old piece didn't look that worn out.. BOY did that new bushing
clean up my shift stick play.... Wow, what a fix!!

dunno if you have anything to do with it, but I wanted to thank someone..ha!! i'm gonna plaster a few of those big arsed stickers too..

cheers

 

Dang, I knew there was some reason why we love making parts for you guys

 

Welcome Mike. I too would like to thank you for all the 3rz swap tech on your forum. That swap is on the 'someday' list for my 4Runner. Also, thanks for all the top quality parts I've gotten from you guys. Say hello to Marlin for us!

Adam.

 

How about, Welcome BACK Mike!

 

Awesome Big Mike! I haven't spent a lot of time on Marlin's forum but I just book marked you swap thread for future reference. Hopefully my '81 will have have a similar powerplant someday.

Glad you are gonna be a resource here

 

Welcome BigMike...and BIG thanks to MC crew for making awesome products!

 

Howdy!

Got lots of MC stuff to put on my truck, just need to do it.

BigMike, do you know when you guys will be getting the smaller diametre leaf spring bushings in stock again? I apparently ordered 8 of the larger diametre ones and 4 of the smaller but it appears I goofed up when checking to see which ones I needed and need 4 more of the small ones but you guys always seem back-ordered on 'em.

 

malteserunner, an engine conversion is a LOT of work, but after all the sweat and blood the end result is truly worth it!

Hmmmmmm I just verified that we have a ton of these in stock and ready for same-day shipping. Same with the large spring bushings. It looks like our inventory guy didn't update the status on the small bushings so I just did

Glad I got that fixed!

We only carry Daystar Performance High Quality Polyurethane Made-In-USA bushings and bumpstops!

 

Thanks!

P.S. You guys need a better reseller here in Canada instead of Big Country Customs, those guys take forever to ship out parts, which is why I order from you direct instead.

 

Big Country isn't an official distributor of ours yet.... I need to give them a call and get some stuff sorted out. We have about 3 or 4 vendors up in America's Hat that are dying to become our Canadian vendor. These are all on my TODO list!!

Mike

 

Thanks for getting back in touch with Joey about the toybox. Seems they might have lost than output shaft. Anyway, I think we got everything we needed and hopefully have this FJ40 finished soon.

Thanks again for your help!

No problem Wab, I've wheeled a ToyBox'd FJ40 and WOW what a difference! Joey is gonna love it!
