 This is Tim's (slowpok) Yellow 1983 Pickup with stock differential gearing of 4.11:1 and an Ultimate Crawler. In this video, he has shifted into a single 2.28:1 case which is his stock final drive ratio of 36:1. The Red 1980 Longbed belongs to none other then Marlin himself. And with his 5.29:1 differential gearing, we shifted into his Ultimate final drive ratio of 223:1.

 Here Tim is comparing the difference between the stock 36:1 ratio and an Ultimate setup with stock 4.11:1 differential gears. First he shows how to tackle the piece of wood by slipping his clutch and using his brakes. Then he shifts into stock Ultimate at 173:1 and shows how its supposed to be done -- without using the clutch or brakes, and of course no driver needed!

 In this video, his truck has been shifted into triple low at 1,047:1 and is idling its way up and over our block of wood. As the tire makes its way over the top, each gear moves to the coast side. Once the vehicle is on the ground, the spinning gears move back to the drive side and the truck continues onward. Now the trick is to watch as the gears move from the coast side to the drive side. For a split second, you can actually see the tire come to a complete stop as the Triple case Marlin Crawler motors on.

 A second demonstration of the same Wood Trick. Note how the tire comes to a complete stop for a split second before continuing on. After the trick, I take a fly by tour of Marlin's interior showing his triple transfercase shifters with our twin stick setup. I hope he's got a guide book of which shift lever does what!

 Here is Tim's truck again in the same stock gearing as above, 36:1 final drive ratio with 4.11 differential gearing. This time Marlin's truck is shifted into a single 4.70:1 case at 98:1 final drive ratio. This is very simular to the 108:1 final drive ratio of a dual transfercase setup. So use this video as a demonstration of what either a 4.70:1 single case or a 2.28 x 2.28 dual transfercase setup with 5.29:1 differential gearing will yield when compared to an entirely stock final drive ratio with stock differential gearing.

 This is just a fun video showing Marlin's truck in Triple-Low Crawl Range cycling through all 5 forward gears while in motion. The final drive ratios in this video break down into the following:
5th: 226:1
4th: 266:1
3rd: 386:1
2nd: 621:1
1st: 1,047:1

 Here is Steve Schaefer from Tempe Arizona showing off his 1999 Toyota 2.7l 4Runner that we recently installed an Ultimate Crawler into. This is one of the first newer style 4Runners we have upgraded in our shop. You can tell from Steve's expressions that he doesn't mind having an Ultimate 252:1 final drive ratio! Steve is ready to take on the world!

 Here Steve shows us how to properly execute a Chinese Fire Drill at 252:1 Ultimate Crawl Ratio.
