Trail Tested Marlin Crawler RCLT HD
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 січ 2022
- After many months of Alex fitting the Marlin lift kit, Covid issues, and the downtime of the Holidays, we finally hit the trail and give the RCLT HD a proper testing. It's clear from the jump that this kit and the huge tires that it allows are a game changer for IFS Toyota vehicles. Congratulations to Alex on the successful install of a lift that is much more than a simple bolt on.
Loving it my front is done unfortunately not the rear waiting on production of a custom rear axle! RCLT is the only way to and keep the IFS if you like crawling!
Go the way Nate from Dirt Lifestyle went.. truss your axle and do a 3 link setup with coilovers :)
Great video, having both trucks really gives a good idea how much difference there is
LOL yeah, I got schooled
@@FurthurOffRoad I thought you did pretty good.
It’s just a big difference on travel and tire size.
Great video, wish they made it for the older 4Runners/Tacomas!
I watch this all the time 👍👍
Thanks! Cool to hear!
Awesome stuff guys! Really looking into this for my 4Runner.
I would love this kit on my 2nd gen 4runner
At 7200$ it's not the worst price for what you get, I'm at around 8000$ and counting in parts for my S.A.Swap , M.C. is a quality great Company, I personally hate IFS but if you want a great setup, I would say this is a lot of bang for your buck! But I'd rather have a solid axle any day over IFS and remember you will still have no locker in the front and its still attached to the weak points on the frame, personally I feel that a lot of people are going to go this way over a solid axle swap just cause it's easier, I can't wait to have a real truck axle under my first Gen Tacoma but honestly I do like this setup but if I was going this far into independent suspension, I would probably build some type of pre runner and have a completely useless truck for where I live in NY , ain't no dunes here, primarily off-road on trails in PA and surrounding area, I love Rocks so , solid axle it is! Great video
Even with rclt, not every one is doing it for strictly rock crawling. LT can do 95% of the trails that 90% of most guys do anyways. SaS is superior in durability... but they break just the same imo
It's definitely a really sweet set up I just like trucks with solid axles not a fan of independent suspension but if I was gonna do it this would definitely be a great option , My 03 Tacoma is a daily driver/trail vehicle I have a hybrid axle going in the front , Dana 30 hi pinion with chromoly Axle shafts , fully sleeved ( thing is heavy for a 30 ) 4:56 gears, locker , Dana 44 outers with 6 lug conversion and manual Warn Hubs , I don't want to weigh it down with 1 ton axles, so my friend who is the auto shop teacher At Freeport high school here in long Island NY , he loves building these weird hybrid axles and he's really good at it, can't wait until she's done, videos will be up on my channel and my Instagram @frankrubicon_ I broke a new ( I'm thinking defective ) lower ball joint coming off a curb and decided, it's S.A.S. time, to much money spent, no turning back now
Everything has a breaking point, that's for sure
Just curious Frank. Why can't you have a locker in the front on IFS?
I'm pretty sure you can put any type of locker in a IFS differential, Detroit, ARB air locker , Aussie , Spiral posi , Drop in Lunch box, if you have selectable hubs you can Lincoln lock it , Eaton Electric locker, I'm pretty sure sky's the limit as long as you beef up your Half Shafts etc Let me try to explain why I offer my opinion, I don't know anything about Sports? Nothing, I don't care to know anything about lame ass Sports, I don't chase balls around and I would never offer my advice or opinions to a Football yoyo on how to score a homerun but when it comes to CARS/TRUCKS/MOTORCYCLES that is my life! Don't know about Politics or email or internet shit ( I do love watching and making UA-cam videos ) All I know is Kool shit with wheels, I said, " This is a sweet setup " I live on the East Coast ( Long Island NY ) having an IFS ( Broken Tacoma IFS sitting next to my solid XJ in my driveway waiting for SAS, have all the parts , broke that On road, on the tough NY streets ) here and mainly Rock Crawling and tight Forests of Upstate NY and Pennsylvania ( Has more natural rock formations than anywhere else in the country ) where I live and the terrain we wheel, a solid axle is best, I never stop any American from doing what they want, your vehicle, your choice, to each is own and its a free country but I think because it's a lot of work/money people are less reluctant to do a solid axle conversion, my Tacoma S.A.Swap has a custom made axle going in it , so , I ain't scared to do something different and I actually love being different, FTW I do whatever the fuck I want as long as I'm not hurting anyone
Such a sweet 2nd gen
For the record, Chiva Falls trail can be done in a 1996 Extracab Taco, with side-sliders, a 3" Toytech lift and 31" tires, with no problems. You will, of course, have to use a few of the easier lines, but it will handle most stuff (including the Notch) pretty capably. Just pick your lines well, have a good spotter, and -crawl-.
That said, I'm eagerly awaiting the production of a RCLT kit for the 1rst-gen Tacos. I really wish they'd hurry up get that sorted....
Nice work getting a truck on 31's through that trail! I imagine that was a long day...
@@FurthurOffRoad Eh, not really. Kept up with my friends heavily modded Rubicon (on 35's) with no problem... of course THEY were doing the hard stuff....
I've also taken it through Steel Bender in Moab, where even the bypasses can be a bit tricky.
@@PavePusher how are you keeping up if you are taking easy lines? unless you’re doing the same obstacles keeping up doesn’t count
Both rigs are sweet! Love the 2nd gens, have a 2015 myself.... great footage!!!! Sub'd
This is the dream
I’m about to do this to my 2nd Gen soon
Pics or it didn’t happen LOL
awesome setup, wish i could afford it 😞 waaa
You and me both!
I want to see it against a sas
So cool
What are the specs on his rims? I have ordered parts from MC but have yet to find what works for 37s. Every truck I have seen with 37s and MC say no cutting was necessary, is that what you guys found too? I have a 3rd gen Tacoma.
Hit up Alex at @a_tracalex on Insta for details. I know he cut his fenders for more clearance, and he already had a cab mount chop but I don't think he had to do anything else.
Is there any videos of it doing more crawling up harder obstacles?
This was the shakedown run. I’m sure Alex will run more difficult trails soon.
@@FurthurOffRoad okay thank you, definitely interested in this kit for my second gen 4Runner as I really love the comfort ability of the ifs yet still want to hit some hard tracks in Moab in it.
great video! i think this kit is out of most average off-roading Yota enthusiast budgets, but i have to ask, does Alex think it was worth it? would love to get 37's on my 2012 4runner, but it can do so much with 33's! thanks and keep the great content coming!
Thanks! Alex seems pretty happy with the results. And as you can see, there’s a huge difference in the capability between 33s and 37s.
i love them head lights were you get them sweet looken ride i have a 2014 trd sport
Any where we can see all the work he did to that truck, want to have 37's on my 3rd gen and have that kind of travel
Yep! Check out the three other Marlin vids in the series. We cover just about the entire install.
im so jealous!
Did you have to use wheel spacers or wheels with offset? This may have been answered in the previous vids, thanks for any feedback!
Alex did install wheel spacers but I’m. It sure what the widths were.
🧨
Nice new "Marlin Truck" But wouldn't be better if you had cute the rear a bit and shortened it up? Just between the fenders and the taillights :-)
Well yes, but not sure if that’s something Alex wants to entertain
Great video! Do you have a build list for the rear suspension that I can take notes on? I would love this setup (or close enough) for my 3rdGen Tacoma as well.
You’d need to DM Alex. I don’t know all the details on the rear set up. Hit him up on Insta @a_tracalex
@@FurthurOffRoad Thank you!
I've been thinking about this kit ever since I seen dirtlifestyle how does it do on road as far as daily driving would go
I have heard nothing but good things from Alex on how it handles on road. He says it’s better than stock
So how does it do on road? My only question would be that it does away with a front sway bar, but other kits like Total Chaos' 2" mid travel have an extended one... id just be interested how this kit handles on the road at highway and some more spirited driving.
Alex says it handles really well on road. Not sure about ‘spirited’ driving though LOL
@@FurthurOffRoad eeehhhh. Really I just wish they'd have a spot to put attach one, should someone desire to do so, but its a 1st gen production so there's hope. My truck is a DD, but I'd love to be able to get it off road with some friends who have SAS runners and such out here in the TN/ GA area. And I remember cheeva falls. Cut my off road teeth with a jeep GC and later my 09 tacoma way back in the day.
Is this the +2" +2.75" or +3.5" RCLTHD kit that is listed on Marlincrawler?
Are either of you Manual Transmission? Stock Engines ? Thanks, nice videos.
I want RCLTHD !
I think it’s the +3.5 kit but you can hit up Alex on Insta: @a_trac Alex and he can fill you in on exactly what he bought. Both the trucks are auto transmission, stock engines. Alex is re-geared to 4.88. Thanks for watching and appreciate the sub!
what gears, lockers, bumper/winch, how is it on the highway, mileage is this his daily driver
4.88s
Factory rear E-locker
Pelfreybilt bumpers
Not sure what winch
Drives excellent on the highway
Not his daily
Curious on gears and specifically type. I'm on 37s factory elocker with yukon 4:88s I can't seem to keep a ring gear alive for the life of me. The clamshell up front is solid. The rear I'm struggling what's your secret?
Wish I could help you there, but that's one for Alex. You can reach him on Instagram @a_tracalex
@@FurthurOffRoad thank you appreciate the response!
Non E locker, should have more durable parts in it. Imo don't even get the E locker if you're planning on upgrading the truck
Awesome vid man love it I have three question what rear shocks are you running, and what front bumper is that? Thanks man
Hit up @atrac_alex on the gram. That’s his truck. I think Bilstein in the rear and a Pelfreybilt bumper
Hey I have one more question, does the rear shocks have reservoirs, or is he running just straight shocks? Thanks
@@cyrusmachi1686 no resi’s in the rear
Sweet thanks man can’t wait to do it to mine.
how can i get in contact with the owner of the silver taco love the rear suspension and hc bumper
Send a message on Instagram to @a_tracalex
@@FurthurOffRoad wish I had an instagram
Impressive! did this have lockers?
Just the stock Toyota E-locker
What front bumper is on silver Tacoma??
Pelfreybilt. Not produced anymore
How does the RCLT HD do in washes and high speed?
Alex seemed to have no trouble spanking me on the road to the trailhead. He floated over most of the ruts and washboarded sections. I did not LOL.
What’s the rear setup? I’m trying to get more flex in the rear
Hit Alex up on Insta for this. Not sure what the specs are on the shocks or the leaf pack.
You ever make it up to press get much you look familiar I think I've seen you before. I just had My 2005 Toyota Sequoia limited Built. 2 and a 1/2 inch total Chaos one travel. King shocks Is front and rear Lockers. 4,88 gears Coastal off road high clearance bumpers with Warn wench 35in nitto ridgeGrapplers method beadlock wheel and whole bunch of other stuff. I just did my shake down run and broke my rear shocks. I'm relocating them on the outside with. Triple bypass king. And doing a dual shocks in the front with triple bypass. Apparently my Sequoia has gone viral. People from Tucson all the way up the Flagstaff and know about it. Some guy has been calling Nicole at total chaos and impersonating me and asking questions about my truck. Really didn't intend for It to go viral. I installed AGPS tracker in it now because of that. Anyway if you ever get up to Prescott we should go wheeling sometime. I have a few u tubers looking for me to doa walk around. It was the talk at the expo in Flagstaff. Everybody has been looking for what I heard and no one can find a nicer 1st generation Toyota Sequoia build than mine. I didn't build it to be nicer I built it for durability and function. And with that you have to get all the best parts so that's what I did and now I have unintended friends lol.
Sounds like a killer build! When you put something like that together you are bound to get attention! 🤟😃🤟
How much Flex do you give with this kit??
Not sure on exact specs, but it’s way more than stock!
Are those factory front fenders?
Yessir!
Well shit now I need a 2nd gen Tacoma.
Do it
@@FurthurOffRoad I wish they made this for my 2020 Tundra.
@@Scottstunts Honestly, if this is the type of off-roading you want to do, you would be much better off with a solid axle swap. It would probably be less expensive as well.
While this kit does perform well on the rocks for an IFS set-up, it still doesn't keep up with a solid axle. This IFS kit would be great for pre-runner type driving where you are bombing through the desert at high speed, but for rock crawling, it is just ok.
@@KurNorock this is the best way to get into crawling in an IFS. It still can drive high speed through desert and frozen lakes. it is quite street-able as well. ua-cam.com/video/XGhpXYlRZZg/v-deo.html
this 4 runner is on the same RCLT suspension. Try this with SAS.💩
Difficult trail ???
It’s no Rubicon but it has it’s moments
@@FurthurOffRoad The truck was never challenged lol.
were he got his headlights on the tacoma with the 37's i have a 2014 check it outua-cam.com/video/IJzsRXjo8PI/v-deo.html
I think they were from Morimoto
