<strong>With any luck, my crawler parts will be in tomorrow too so I can go ahead and get that junk taken care of...</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helv, Helvetica, Sans">Yeah, so this never happened. I was told I would get the parts probably Thrusday, and I figured that would be fine as I really only have one day on the weekends to work on stuff due to school and work. Friday evening rolls around, no parts. 1300 bucks and 2 good build weekends later, I still have a bunch of useless aluminum. I know if someone dropped 1300 bucks at my store and I messed up the order, I would at the very least 3 day air the missing parts. I mean I am only 22 years old guys, $1300 dollars is the largest purchase I have ever made. So basically, Marlin Crawler has single handly pushed my finish date back by about a week. Yeah, I am pissed.
On the plus side, everyone pretty much knows that marlin's customer service is piss poor, I knew that going into my purchase because I had read it time and time again on Pirate. The parts themselves however (at least all the ones i have right now) are of the highest of quality, and from what I have read, that is a constant at Marlin Crawler. These parts are so beautiful, it is almost a shame to hide them under my truck. I swear I spent an hour after unpacking them just gazing at them in awe over the unbelievable machining work. I would order from them again as I believe them to have the best crawler parts, and quality is more important to me than their customer service, which clearly blows. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />
Well after sleeping in today, I am off to throw in the drag link, and probably move the front axle back an inch or so as the tie rod is creaping up on my pitman arm and I want to have plenty of room. Peace out...
