cruiser crawler

[planb]

Has anyone fitted a Cruiser Crawler transmission from Marks 4wd Adaptors ?

[M&M Custom Engineerin]

have they released it yet?

if so, how much?

[planb]

As far as i understood, they're now on sale.

with Mark's 3.05 to 1 gears in the transfer case, engage the crawler and get 9.3 to 1 at the transfer case output flange (not including first gear in your transmission)

i think the best part about them is that they dont lengthen your drivetrain, no need to shorten and lengthen shafts, and no worries for swb trucks.
sounds good to me.

they sell for around 3k

An extra 3:1 sounds good! Runs on compressed air, not an extra shifter.

I will be going there tomorrow, I will ask the questions, I should be able to get some inside info for everyone. ( it never came from me).

I talked to him months ago, about this, and i was supposed to be informed, via email or contact and he never let me know, i rang in, got no more information

asked for arrival times, prices?
got the run-around

I honestly dont think you should hold your breath!
It looks and sounds good! But who is testing it?
"We anticipate having the transmission available late 2002"
This sentence alone had me excited for the entire year last year!

HMMMM what date is it now?

[Wendle]

Cush has been ringing them up twice a week asking when it is gonna be finished, as 39's and stock 80 ratios are pretty ordinary, at the moment they are saying they will be ready to sell in early march..

[M&M Custom Engineerin]

they must be having problems with them or something.

why is it so late in coming out?

[planb]

There down one machinist, this is delaying other projects as well.

There down one machinist, this is delaying other projects as well.

if you know this much, how come you dont know other information about the products?

or have you recently learned of the machinist problems?
how long have they been down one machinist?
maybe this is why they never got back to me?

ill be honest and say id like to see it this year, but early march i think we will be lucky to see it, and is more than a little hopeful, we are probably talking more realistically by about late this year!

[M&M Custom Engineerin]

down one machinist surely wouldnt delay production that much.

if they are down a machinist because someone left, wouldnt they be replaced within a few weeks?

if the are down a machinist due to holidays etc it wouldnt be holding it up this long.

I still think they must be having other problems.

Ok, went to Marks today and among other things I asked about the crawler. Yes they are down 1 machinist and have been from B4 X-Mas,
( U try and get a good CNC machinist), along with 4 weeks down for X-Mas and its not the only project on the go ATM, A big influx of GQ transfer gears and Toyota V8 conversions along with me putting pressure to get my stuff finished. So its still a month or so away. :wink:

[MY45]

Anyone have anymore updates on the crawler ?

[bj on roids]

How is my call!!

I said probably not even late this year, look at the dates. This beast probably isnt even out yet!!
Try another 6-8 months!

[humphey]

not wrong BJ last time i rang them it was this time last year and yes they were down a bloke then probly same bloke

[MY45]

i phoned em and they said they had on for a 70 and 80 series but the 40's would be a coupla months.............


Price for the 80's box was about $3500
