Re: Marlin "Walkin the Crawler"

That's incredible, although it seems dangerous to walk next to the truck on such terrain.

Re: Marlin "Walkin the Crawler"

Marlin is at this time working on his crawler for the FJ cruiser so that you can have the ultimate in strength and reliability for your Cruisers. I imagine it will be out by the end of the year. All the components are there, They are actually in my truck now. It will come out in the auto's first with a later release for the manuals.
