Here are a couple of teaser pics of the new Marlin case for the 4.0 automatic Tacomas.

dang dude that is freaking sick

 

Thanks!

 

Wow.

Dig.

 

I have always wanted to make....er i mean i love your truck. Now wait... is it your truck? or demellos? OR are they the best company in the world to work for and give you the stuff for your truck?

 

Thanks man! The truck is mine but I'm co-owner of DeMello-Offroad so I just talk as if the truck belongs to the shop. But yes, it is great to have a place that you can create your dreams and see the come to fruition. It's a blast! And yes, as far as I'm concerned, we are the best company in the world to work for.......

 

, you all hiring? my 88 needs attn.

 

Sure.... move on out to sunny socal

 

The guys at Marlin are working on a new skid plate and cross member for the truck and High Angle Drive line is making the new driveshafts for it now. These new driveshafts will take care of that dreaded driveline vibration we feel when we lift these trucks. We're using some nifty new toyota style flanges for the Dana 60's instead of the 1350 yokes. http://www.highangledriveline.com/toy_flange.html They are stronger, provide more movement and will accept the toyota driveshafts. They just about have the interior back together again. I love the fact that they took the time to have shift lever boots made for the swap instead of leaving that up to me. They found someone to make leather ones and should be able to duplicate it for future '05+ customers. Top notch!

 

Nice, i used to live out there. Tell me where to sign up

 

Wyatt, what does Jesse usually charge for new driveshafts. im throwing in a inchworm 5.0 case in my 4runner and i know its going to change the lenght of both front and rear shafts and id rather have em built.

Your taco is sweet and im sure that will give it even much more crawlability.

 

Thank you very much.

I'm not sure what he would charge for your 4runner. Give him a call and tell him I sent you. Let him know what your doing and how you intend to use it.

What type of axles you are using is very important also so let him know that too. He's really good and pretty booked up so call him now to get on the list. I think he has a two week lead time right now. Let me know how it goes and if I can be of any help.

Wyatt

 

Have you seen this truck before?



The guy said he knows the guys at DeMello. He's a cool guy, but cant remember his name. You can see the butt of my rig stickin out behind the truck.
