That’s the real bummer. Inchworm needs to either sell their share or start producing again.
I know an FJC owner who had one, an input shaft shattered and ultimately split the case wide open before we got to the first big waterfall. This happened on Claw Hammer back in 2009 I believe.

So what you're saying is atlas is worth the money or marlin is worth the wait?

Marlin. The gear ratios on the AtlasII would be too funky of a spread for our purposes unless you go with a 4speed atlas. But if you're considering a 4speed atlas, you might as well build a buggy/truggy

Good to know. That was the route I was planning on going. Now I just need a job so I can double up on paychecks so I don't feel guilty about dropping 3k on one.

That was the exact reason I didn't get an atlas. I was debating ordering one, I couldn't justify so much money for those goofy ass spaced gear ratios, even on the 4 speed.

That’s my plan. Atlas 4 speed seems like the ticket. I want that 1.50:1 ratio for shit like when we are out in Ocotillo Wells running around at <50mph but still hauling ass around the area. The ability to front dig, have 2lo, and multiple ratios is pretty ideal.

Did he land on it super hard or something? That’s just nuts that the case split.

Naw, they would probably hold on to my truck for a year and a half and charge me $15000.

Ugh dude I feel bad for Andy, we hung out all weekend and it was a sore subject but Wyatt had health issues so he’s being understanding for sure
