Our Story
Marlin Crawler is the creator of and world leader in Rock Crawling. Since Sept 17, 1983, Marlin Czajkowski has been wheeling the world-famous 1980 red "Crawler Truck" finding ways to improve it's off road capability. Early innovations range from a homemade on-board welder, in use since the late 1980s that has helped hundreds of crippled rigs, to the world's first Heavy Duty Birfield joint, aka the Marfield, and the world's first Heavy Duty FJ80 TRE-equipped tie rod, aka the Marlink. But Marlin's most revolutionary creation came in 1994, with what he called the Marlin Crawler, taking Toyota trucks to new capabilities never before possible.
Don’t Gear Down Double Up!
Prior to the Marlin Crawler, the absolute lowest possible final drive ratio in a Toyota pickup was 56:1 (1986 & 87 turbocharged models only). The "built" trucks of that time were in the 36:1 to 44:1 range. Combined with small 4cyl engines, it's easy to see why very few people wheeled Toyota pickups. Marlin says Jeeps easily out numbered Toyota pickup's twenty-to-one or higher. In comparison, Jeeps and Land Cruisers commonly had powerful 8cyl engine conversions with final drive ratios nearly twice as slow in the 70:1 range. The success of Marlin's two famous quotes, "I want to get respect for Toyota trucks!" and "I want to put Toyota trucks on the map!" is well represented in today's off-road world.
Since 1994, Toyota trucks can now use Marlin's inventions to easily eclipse the 200:1 final drive ratio making them more competent off-road than both Jeeps and Land Cruisers. Final drive ratios this low prompted a new term for which Marlin coined as a "Crawl Ratio". Other terms Marlin created are "Rock Crawling", "Crawl Box", "Crawler Gears", "Double Low Range", and "Dual Ultimate Crawler", terms that have since become so common that even automobile manufactures Chrysler and Toyota use Marlin's "Rock Crawl" term in their marketing materials and products.
