@livelaughin77 Whoops, sorry yes I do also have a 1" body lift. My suspension is a bit complicated. I have removed 2 leafs from my front 4" Marlin Crawler springs and 3 leafs from my rear pack, running 2" pivot blocks in the rear with custom 1-way lockouts. The height of my truck is about 2" lower than a comparable truck with only a 4" suspension lift and no body lift.
Marlin's parts are sick..No lie....but I see it as kind off killing most of the foot control aspect ....Like there is no challenge anymore with extreme gears like that..... Just an opinion of mine.

@justbeabro You are absolutely correct, 511:1 is far too low as is Marlin's 1,372:1. Both are impractical. But we run triple cases to prove the strength of our products, and to be able to demonstrate what lower gearing can do for the customer. The nice thing about it is how it's fully selectable: My 1st gear low range ratios include 47:1, 98:1, 109:1, 224:1, and 511:1. The majority of our customers use the 109:1 ratio, while some opt for the 224:1. The sky's the limit with Marlin Crawler!
@Husoku Good way to prove strength! I run Marlin Shock hoops and some diff armor... I try to keep it old school but its hard to when you see so many insane parts!
@justbeabro I get what you mean, but in some cases even mad foot control doesnt help much, the steepness of the incline and/or toughness of the terrain, e.g. rocks, will otherwise just lead to a burnt clutch.. Thats why low-range is needed, or in extreme circumstances, a crawl box!
yall should have a tug o war with the marlin and this truck, but no one can be in the cab during the pull, could be interesting since the gearing is so low
@YotaOn38 WOW That is a GREAT IDEA!!!! I am sure Marlin's truck will win because it's a good 800+ pounds heavier. Oh man that would be so fun to do! Okay, I will do this for sure this spring :-)
@TheSteelhead15 Thanks for the comment. In 1st gear it should do about 0.14 MPH at idle, and in 30th gear I've had it up to 110 MPH with the 37s. My speedometer doesn't go up that high, so I had a friend in another vehicle verify it. The 3RZ has great power, but it was really struggling to get to 110.
Hello taitai907, that is correct, due to my Marlin Crawler Triple Ultimate Crawler transfer case, I literally have 30 different forward gears (and 6 different reverse gears!). Marlin's truck is even better with 35 forward and 7 reverse gears! The simplest way to explain it is that I have a 5 speed transmission and a 6 speed transfer case; 5 * 6 = 30. The 6 different t/case ratios I can select are: 1:1 (for city & freeway), 2.28:1, 4.70:1, 5.20:1, 10.72:1, and 24.43:1. Thanks for the comment!
bachkrabbler, actually because the Marlin Crawler can greatly reduce your vehicles speed, the driver has an enormous amount of time to react to the trail and his truck. Marlin wheeled his truck at 1,047:1 for over 10 years on STOCK axles and never once broke them, and his truck weighs over 4,500 pounds loaded! It is all about driving accordingly. You are right, if you get in a bind and floor it and load up the drive train, something must break. But we have so much time to respond! It's amazing!
patriotsundergod: In terms of Rock Crawling, you are right. The only time I have really "needed" 1st gear is when I was about to take body damage. I could let the clutch out while riding the brakes very hard and then determine to continue or not. Its mainly a demonstration gear. Marlin Crawler considers 223:1 to be the "Ultimate" gear ratio (term coined in 1997), but I find my 2nd gear (277:1) is the most ideal ratio for me. It sure is nice to shift into any gear ratio I need and just go! :)
patriotsundergod: I wanted to comment why I run my 30-speed setup: I can demonstrate stock low range, single 4.70 low range, dual stock low range, and dual Ultimate low range. Marlin's 35-speed setup cannot demonstrate a dual stock low range setup (since he has two 4.70s), so my setup is preferred to show potential customers what each Marlin Crawler gearing option can do for their truck. It's a lot of fun meeting new people out on the trail and showing them the gearing options!! :-)
@revococo: Ignoring losses, It is true that my truck can develop 90,363 ft-lbs of Torque to the tires, and even more to the point, Marlin's CRAWLER truck can develop 242,866 ft-lbs of TQ, in both cases thanks to our Marlin Crawler setups. Obviously that is grossly more TQ than what a stock birfield can handle (about 50,000 ft-lbs), so it is all about how you drive according to your vehicle's limits. I ran stock Birfields with 35" tires for 4 yrs, upgraded when I got 37" tires. Never broke any.
i am new to the dual/triple cases thing, how come you are running the 2.28:1 crawl boxes and 4.70:1 gears in your t-case instead of the 4.70:1 crawl boxes and 4.70:1 gears in your t-case?
@lacombboy: I am running a Triple T/Case setup as a 2.28:1 x 2.28:1 x 4.70:1. The reason why I do this is so I can demonstrate to customers how a Marlin Crawler can change their lives. I can show a stock setup (2.28:1), I can show a single 4.70:1 setup, I can show a standard dual case setup (2.28 x 2.28), and I can show a Dual Ultimate setup (2.28:1 x 4.70:1). Marlin's CRAWLER truck runs 2.28 x 4.70 x 4.70, so he cannot show what a stock dual case setup (2.28 x 2.28) is like, but I can :-)
Thanks for the comments! @coolassyota: I am running a Triple Ultimate Marlin Crawler consisting of a Marlin W56-HD transmission > 2.28 Marlin Crawl Box > MC08-23 Billet Marlin Adapter > 2.28:1 Marlin Crawl Box > MC08-23-R10 Rotated Billet Marlin Adapter > 4.70 23-spline Total Spline Marlin Competition Chromoly geared transfer case. Then at the axles I have Marlin-built Yukon 5.29:1 gears with Toyota Electric Lockers front & rear. So it's 510.53:1, or 511:1 final drive.
Thanks for the comments guys! The cool thing is that the Marlin Crawler can be disengaged and I can cruise on the freeway at 80 MPH without a hitch :) It's a lot of fun!
