- The articulation performance of #RCLTHD is proven using Metal Cloak's Corner Travel Index (CTI) trailer. This snippet is from AutoEdit's Friendly 4x4 Flex Competition, watch the full 12-minute video here: • Here's what CTI Corner... Thank you Jason for letting us share your video! Trail footage provided by Dirt Lifestyle ( / dirtlifestyle ) and Story Till Now ( / thestorytillnow .
Marlin Crawler's RCLT HD is the only IFS kit strong enough for Rock Crawling and the only IFS kit that challenges the benefits of a Solid Axle Swap (SAS). For more info, please visit www.marlincraw...

With all the popularity of Jeeps, this is the main inspiration for my Full IFS IRS Pathfinder build. Keep it up!
Awesome articulation!
Thanks! 👍🏼
Nice pickup Mr. Mike
Maaaan I wanna get on that trailer!
There has also been a ton of work done to rear of the Taco to get that 820 score.Nice truck!
Awesome truck 😎
This makes me want to sell my jeep LJ and build a 4runner
Do it!!! No one's stopping you!
keep your eye on those orange boots.
Awesome
Where was this? I wanna put my 99 Denali on it....
I heard metal cloak was going to be making some toyota stuff soon
Will Marlin crawlers ever make RCLT HD for the 1st Tacoma's?
I’d still rather get a Jeep and max that out. I’ve seeen jeeps with insane flex no IFS mod could ever come close to. It’s just simply not possible due to the weight differences of IFS vs solid axel.
Wow
And the gas milage is, smiles for miles.
They make these for 3rd gen 4runners?
Is this lift capable of going fast? And doing small jumps
Thanks for asking. Yes, absolutely, as verified by our two King Of The Hammers teams. RCLT HD is by far the strongest near bolt-on HD IFS + HD steering system available today. Also see: th-cam.com/video/Ymd2c4oSqyo/w-d-xo.html
It's nice, I mean really nice but I would still rather have a real axle than this, either way you're spending a lot of money 💰 but this is definitely a sweet setup and worth the money, especially with how weak the stock crap is and another aspect is with all the computer systems in these newer vehicles, I'm sure this is a lot more computer 🖥 friendly than chopping out the entire IFS, I have an older taco 🌮 2003 base with the only option being cd 💿 player and AC so I went for the Chopping option, but I would think twice if I was rich enough to buy a new truck 🛻 Good to have options
Ifs probably doesn't score as high due to most leave their "antiflex" bar installed
Yeah I bet it's their first time 🙄🙄
Anti flex?
Is this only for 3rd gen tacomas or is there another lift for 1st gens?
Thanks for the comment. Sorry but we are currently only making it for Toyota Type III and newer frames, which include 2003 and newer SUVs and 2005 and newer Tacomas.
Any one know of any shops in SoCal that will 1 ton my 3rd Gen?
Thank you for the question! We currently have 7 SoCal shops ready and/or experienced to install RCLT HD onto a 3rd gen Tacoma, which provides 1 ton steering strength (MarRack + 5/8” double sheer hardware) and 1 ton axles (35-spline Dana 60 inner & outer CV joints). Please see our Instructions page for a map of Install Shops at www.marlincrawler.com/RCLTHD/instructions Thanks!
@@MarlinCrawlerMedia thanks for link, I wouldnd mind but I dislike these stock Tacoma wheel bearing and also stock front differential.
I need more feedback with people who run this kit with those components...
I don’t think this is the slowest Tacoma in the world as the sticker says…. Sticker added HP dough
Thank you for the comment! As far as we know this is literally the slowest Tacoma on the planet thanks to its 8-speed 27.54:1 transfer case resulting in a 580:1 final drive ratio. It's idle speed in first gear is 0.11 MPH (8.8 hours per mile (HPM)) and it's top-speed red-lined in first gear is 0.12 MPH (8.3 HPM).
For reference, from the 0:04 second mark the Tacoma is idling forward onto the trailer with no added throttle as shown in 12th gear, which is a 99:1 ratio. To put this into perspective, 12th gear in this vehicle is almost 3-times lower than 99% of all other Tacomas.
Having said all this, being the slowest Tacoma is only a bragging right, as it has no practical use case on the trail. BigMike runs this setup so that he may demonstrate all available gear ratios through its 56 speeds that our company offers to 1979 and newer Toyota/Lexus vehicle owners.
You can get flex out of IFS similar to solids and you can score in an 88 percentile of solids, BUT, you’ll also spend about 888% more $$. IFS isn’t cheap, and they aren’t as strong, the CV’s aren’t designed to be at full lock laying down a whole lot of torque.
Build a Dana 60 that'll handle 40's and the price is very close actually. I just priced out building 2 Dana 60's and the total was over 20k if you want Chromoly shafts like Marlin crawlers kit, ARB's etc.
@@twotwentyswift I wouldn't put 40's on an IFS system though. One slight hop under power, and bye bye CV. In addition when we're talking IFS there are so many links that have to take the stress. I'd spend the 20k on a solid and you know that you're good to go.
@@twotwentyswift Oh, so the Marlin kit now also comes with ARB's?? Both front and rear?? Man, imagine people ordering the kit, only to get upset when no ARBs or chromoy shafts show up at their door. LMFAO.
@@MrNismopro Your ignorance behind CV axles and ifs rigs wheeling with 40s is ridiculous. I won't hold it against you though.
@@Reecesavage-Alwayswin we've already been through 4 RCV axles on 37's. Meanwhile a lot of my group running Currie 60's are still trucking along. My ignorance? 🤣 please. Don't be a fool.
Maybe it flexes better than 88% of typical Jeeps, but also it costs many times more than 100% of typical Jeeps. And 820 score is as good as it's gonna get, when 820 is just an average score for a Jeep and can hit 1000+ with some more mods.
This is an excellent comment showcasing how RCLT HD is shifting the mindset on what an IFS is capable of. Thank you very much for the support, Vitamin B! 👍
But the Jeep will still be a Jeep no matter how much money you put into it and the costs are nearly identical.
I'm retired now but I made a nice living selling Jeep parts thanks to Jeep's long history of poor quality. Another consideration is the ground clearance on this IFS puts the Jeep's solid axle to shame, so flex is only one factor in offroading ability.
@@twotwentyswift You're saying it'll still be a Jeep as if it's something bad. I don't know what Jeep parts you were selling, sure you can make just as much selling Toyota parts, especially when people try to off road and find out really quickly how weak it is.
The front pumpkin clearance rarely is ever an issue. Rear it's more of an issue, but even then, it's rare, and the Toyota is not immune to that either.
How does it cost more??? Chromoly axle shafts cost the same for both vehicles, as do air lockers, shocks, etc. Trust me, there is no way the Jeeps stock axle will support 40" tires, so an entire new axle like a Dana 60 will be necessary which is as much or more by the time you build it .
@@vitaminb4869 Having owned a couple, yes it is something bad if you don't like constant repairs and fire/electrical issues. And if you think front diff clearance is rarely an issue you have to be a mall crawler 🤣One trip on the Rubicon will teach you that lesson.
All that money in it to flex like a stock jeep what a joke
If you look closely jokester it says a stock jeep is 540 and the taco scored 820 above 90% of all the modified jeeps on there...
@@joshm9003 upgrade like 8k in a suspension on a jeep and you can get this same set up. Technically this taco. Doesn’t really count for Ifs since most of his rig flex with coming from the rear 3 link he has a forced shocks he has so doesn’t really count either.. this kit isn’t worth all the money
@@joshm9003 might as well do a axle swap and do all of that and get a more better rig even lookin
@@ledhidpro3650 It doesn't matter if it's not worth money to you because there will be others that it is worth it to them. There is absolutely nothing on the market that is strong enough to handle 40s on ifs like this. This is a massive achievement and a big knock at all the people that say ifs isn't strong yet its used in ultra4 cars at KOH. You won't be bashing in your diff up ever rock with ground clearance like that and that's something a jeep would never be able to achieve. Even if you spent 8grand in suspension parts you'd still need 1000s in lockers gears and tires. Jeeps aren't cheap either. Regardless of vehicle its expensive
@@joshm9003 can’t compare a 100k ifs rig to a bolt on Long travel. Like what this is. complete joke you can make any ifs rig do 40s doesn’t mean he’s spinning those wheels on the rocks or actually hopping or full sending it. Im sure its a cool rig. But isn’t worth there asking price with those “billet” spindles.. next week point is the cv axle shaft.. not joint even with RCV theres always a chance they will snap. On a Ifs Koh rig even then you can’t compare those 40spline axle shafts to these 27-30 spline shafts.. not worth the money. Might as well one ton for the money your gonna drop
On it
