Well, I'm gonna try anyway ;-)
Let me tell you guys a little story, a TRUE story...
A few months ago I attended a local annual 4x4 event (Calico Cleanup)
with my So Cal and RCP Crawlers bros... I took my newly built, bone stock Tamiya Hilift/Hilux, to play with. As I started playing with my stock rig, shifting gears an all, I noticed my rear drive shaft hangin' and a danglin' so I went over to check it out! I lost the stupid elip off the yoke, well luckly I had friends hanging around, Brian, Greg, Nathan, Aaron, Jerry, Erik and oh yeah
Marlin Czajkowski, MR. MARLIN CRAWLER HIMSELF....
Marlin was one of the vendors at Calico Cleanup staging area, displaying his fine products right across from RCP Crawlers. When I broke, all my friends including Mr. Marlin and his wife proceeded to help us look for the yoke, yoke pin and e-clip (yeah right) that fell off my truck. After about 3 minutes I felt bad, 7 people including myself were combing the parking lot for some stupid little parts... well I called it off, told everybody not to worry about it, Its cool... Well, everybody EXEPT Marlin gave up... man I REALLY felt bad at this point, MR. Marlin would not give up!
After about 9 minutes, Marlin came to me and said "is that what your looking for.." as he held his hand out, there they were, my yoke and yoke pin!!!!! Mr Marlin found my parts!!!! All I needed was a 2X10mm screw and nut and I was back on the trail!!!
THANK YOU MARLIN, YOU ARE THE MAN...
It was an honor to have such a legend find my broken parts...
OK, that was a long story but this is why I dedicated my Hilux to MR MARLIN and His Famous red rig.
Heres what I have so far... more work to be done but I am going to
try my best to replicated one of the most CAPIBLE 1:1 YOTA IN THE WORLD...
Thanks Marlin (and Nathan) for the inspiration!
Thanks Pat (62PYRO and Taylor Hobbies) for my bad azzz Rock rings!
More to come!
