    The great founder of Marlin Crawler passed away today. The guy was a legend in the 4WD community - created one of the toughest, if not the toughest, transfer case around.

    The Toyota community was his forte but there are plenty Jeeps, Fords, and Chevys that adapted his work into their drivetrains. For good reason.

    Pour some out for Marlin tonight. We've lost a good one.

    Man, what an innovator in the off-road community. Luckily I can tell my kids I have a vehicle with some original Marlin gear on it.

    Big mods are coming soon, but not too soon.

    PXL_20230311_002028958.jpg Peace, my man.

    I've had this for what seems like 20 years, and the original battery for the light is still going!
