Specials

We have many Toyota CV Joint cores that are useful when building custom drivelines, for example fitting a double-cardan joint to your rear drive shaft in a short wheel base application running our Dual Case setup.

OEM Toyota parts, made in Japan. Used with unknown miles. We will send a cut piece exactly as shown in the images.

We have the standard clearance IFS CV joints which are from 1986-88 4cyl IFS and 1988-95 V6 trucks and 4runners. These "IFS" CV joints can be machined to allow from more clearance. We are currently not offering the machining service for these. We do have 1984-95 4cyl and 1989-95 4cyl RF1A transfer case CV Joints which have more clearance internally from the factory and allow for a much greater misalignment angle.

We highly recommend using a multi-pattern Transfer Case flange (highly common with Rock Crawling builds) so that you are guaranteed a bolt pattern that fits.

We have new Japanese-made U-Joints perfect for rebuilding these cores

These core CJ joints are very commonly used with our Japanese-made Long Spline Drive Shaft Kits.

This is our new Heavy Duty Lower Control Arm (LCA) Frame Brace Kit first featured on BigMike's 2016 Tacoma! This unique and feature filled kit is Patent Pending and made right here in the USA!

» LCA Flange and Cam Tab Gusseting

• USA-made 1/4" thick H.D. Flange & Cam Tab Uprights

— Quarter inch plates are added to the outer walls of all 8 LCA mount flanges
— Nearly quadruples the thickness of each LCA flange wall!
— Greatly resists deforming or bending of cam tabs under severe impacts or bottoming out while jumping

• Installs over the top of existing factory Cam Alignment Tab Plates

— No drilling 24 spot-welds or having to chisel factory parts off with a hammer
— Simply rest each Heavy Duty Upright against each LCA flange and weld in place
— Greatly reduces install effort and time

• Completely encompasses all 16 factory cam tabs

— Outer tabs receive a 1/2" section of 1/4" material
—— TWICE the strength of 1/4" cam alignment tabs
— Inner tabs receive 2.0" X 1/4" of material
—— Inner tabs receive the most stress from objects on the trail
— We guarantee you will NEVER bend a cam tab again!

• Can be installed over aftermarket Cam Tab Gussets

— If you already have aftermarket 1/4" Gussets installed, simply grind just an 1/8" from each inner face of our H.D. Uprights and install as normal

» LCA Frame Mount Gusseting

• USA-made 1/4" thick H.D. Lower Bracing

— Quarter inch plate is also added beneath each LCA mount
— Full 8-point Front & Rear LCA Frame Mount Gusseting
— Distributes forces across a wide contact area of the sub-frame assembly
— Converts each LCA flange pair into a very strong double-sheer design
— Bridges gaps between flanges to prevent catching edges on rocks
— Greatly resists deforming or bending of LCA flanges under severe impacts or bottoming out while jumping

• Angled Front Lower Brace deflects rocks and other objects

— Protects Cam Tabs and Alignment Hardware from direct impact
— Gently shifts alignment hardware safely away from objects during Rock Crawling

» Additional Features

• Can be installed without removing anything!

— Most of the kit can be installed (welded) without removing any hardware or control arms
— Eliminates the need for suspension re-alignment
— Ideally you'd want to finish inner flange welds and paint, but this isn't "required" and could be completed at a later date

• Retains all original alignment hardware

— If you choose to remove LCAs during installation, you can easily mark the position of all alignment parts and reinstall extremely close to the original alignment spec.

• Compatible with both factory and aftermarket suspension arms

— Does not interfere with or restrict the range of motion of any LCA we've seen so far
— Frame braces are clearanced for grease zerk access of aftermarket-style serviceable bushings

• Recesses and protects Alignment Hardware

— H.D. Uprights are thicker than the indexed flange of each eccentric fully protecting them from forward or rearward impact with objects passing under the truck

We are happy to offer a new product to our clutch hydraulics: Our new Steel Braided Clutch Line Kit!

This kit replaces the stock rubber line that extends down to your clutch slave cylinder. Not only is it more durable and longer lasting, but it will improve the linear feel of your clutch pedal as it resists expansion.

These lines are made in the USA and exceed the Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Standard MVSS-106. They are Military-Grade featuring a strong one-piece crimp design, UV protection layer, stainless steel braid, protection layer, Kevlar braid, and finally a Teflon inner core to minimize internal friction. Crown steel braided lines are used by the US Navy, Army, Marines, and Air Force and are the same that we've trusted for more than a decade to get us to the trail and back home safely!

Don't let a stray rock or tree stump rip apart your stock rubber line. Don't get stuck with a leaking or inoperable clutch hydraulic system!

Kit includes:

• 1x Steel Braided Clutch Line
• 2x Clutch Line Clip
• 2x Clutch Line Clip Shim

Applications include all 1979-1995 Toyota Hilux trucks and 4Runners, 1995-2004 Tacomas, and 1996-2002 4Runners. Compatible with 2WD or 4WD. Depending on application, some frame brackets have a larger opening and will require both clip shims to compensate for this extra gap. The installed photos at left are from a 1982 4WD Pickup and only require 1 clip shim as shown at the lower side of the upper frame bracket.

Crossover steering systems replace the factory push-pull system eliminating about 90% of bump-steer. With High Steer crossover steering, the tie rod is moved up and above the leaf springs. This places the rod out of the way of most trail obstacles and provides a clean factory look. Our kits feature our USA-steel and CNC-made Solid Billet Steel steering arms, and are packaged with our Heavy Duty 1.25" X .250 wall USA-steel and USA-made D.O.M. seamless tubing and oversized FJ80 tie rod ends. To use this kit you'll need to modify your GM pitman arm.

Fits 1979-83 FJ40 knuckles. Older FJ40s must convert their knuckles to this style. Please be aware that moving the steering rods above the steering knuckle requires room for frame and leaf spring clearance. A spring-over suspension or 3" or 4" spring-under suspension lift will be required to fit a High Steer on a FJ40.

Rocks are hard. Fight back with with our tough American-made USA steel rear bumpers.

This is our rear bumper designed to fit 1979-88 Shortbed and XtraCab Hilux Pickups, and is built by our heavy duty metalwork subsidiary Locktup4x4 & Fabrication. Made from 1-3/4" round .120 USA tubing and designed with a 4-bolt frame mount system with side bracing. The end result is a rigid bumper that can easily bear the load of your truck with a Hi-lift jack or anchor point anywhere along it's main tube while also having a low profile ideal for Rock Crawling.

A Marlin Crawler heavy duty metalwork company

• NEW! Oversized D-Ring Shackle Hangers on both sides, our most robust design ever!
• NEW! Locktup4x4 Roadrunner step plate
• NEW! We've brought back our classic corner protection vertical uprights that extend protection as much as possible while still allowing the tailgate to function
  • This is our original design that was custom built for The Crawler Truck 16-years ago!
• Two intermediate support beams for increased rear impact strength
• Enlarged receiver hitch rear bracket for adding additional towing support beams
• Integrated Side Frame Supports included at NO additional charge on all Rear Bumpers!
  • Connects both side wrap-around protection to the frame for maximum strength
  • Able to lift the vehicle with a Hi-Lift jack from any point, rear or side of the bumper
• Increased Side Protection Length
  • Now closer to the rear tire for maximum body protection!

Our unique receiver design does not interfere with the stock spare tire location nor the tailgate, which was a challenge since we use heavy duty D.O.T.-recommended seamless square 2.5" x 1/4"-wall receiver tubing. Watch out for other bumper manufactures who cut corners by welding multiple separate pieces to "build" receivers not in accordance to government transportation safety laws.

They are shipped unpainted. We recommend using Restoleum spray paint or powdercoat to give it a lasting finish. Also, for most applications, two small body notches are required on the bed skirt below the tail gate hinges to clear our sturdy 1/4" thick integrated frame mount rails.

These bumpers are well made and could in theory tow a variety of trailers well, however, they are not rated and we do not have any weight or tongue loading information. This is a well made Rock Crawler bumper that also happens to be a very nice full daily driver replacement bumper.

Please note we design our frame mounts to have a slight taper for ease of installation. This taper is pulled into the frame upon tightening, and greatly help prevent hardware from becoming loose!
