nice! 39?
Yep, but probably not the combo we’ll end up with. Christo is graciously letting us use them for mock-up.

I bought a 05 GX470 with 165k on the clock and something wrong with the engine...ask me what I paid...go on, ask me.
Buying the truck pre-empted the Blow off Work run.
Manual truck shifter seats from Marlin Crawler ROCK!
Last night I installed a Marlin Crawler shifter seat and socket on my Tacoma.
What an awesome solution they sell. My 2001 only has 137k on it so I didn't really expect my seat to be too bad but on Fathers day I took my 15yr old out for her first manual trans lesson and then noticed on Monday morning that the truck was now popping out of gear. Needless to say I was not too jazzed about a trans problem at such low mileage but when I read about the shifter seat solution I decided to order up the parts and give it a try. In a rush, I spent more on the FedEx than I did with Marlin but I'm glad I did. The install is fast and easy (all from inside the truck) and my original seat was indeed crumbling garbage when I got to it. First driving impression this morning is that all is great, shifter feels much better an no more popping out of gear... all this in 20 minutes for $20!
TLDR; Manual truck shifter seats from Marlin Crawler ROCK!

Tested out the suspension tire combo today. We moved the front forward 1.125” and the rear back 2.25”
We had about 4.5” still to the rear bump stop. Got some more sawzalling to do.
