Marlin Crawler Death: Obituary, Cause Of Death, Funeral

It is tragic to learn that Marlin Czajkowski, the company’s founder, passed away suddenly. His passing was reported online with the following statement: It is with profound sorrow that we announce the sudden loss of our dear Marlin Czajkowski on Thursday, March 9.

His precise cause of death and the circumstances that contributed to it were hidden from the public. Everyone has expressed their sorrow and loss after learning about Marlin Crawler’s passing and paying tributes to him.

“Pretty emotional right now to learn that Marlin Czajkowski, founder of @marlincrawler has passed away. It’s impossible to overstate what he was to this Toyota industry. He was the GOAT. There will never be another like him, with his wealth of knowledge and innovation. RIP Marlin.”

The pioneer and global authority in rock crawling was Marlin Crawler. Marlin Czajkowski had been driving his fabled red 1980 “track truck” since September 17, 1983, in search of methods to enhance its off-road capabilities. Early developments included the first Heavy-duty FJ80 TRE tie rods, known as Marlins, and the world’s first Heavy-duty Birfield joint (also known as Marfield), which had been used since the late 1980s and had assisted hundreds of broken rigs. But, Marlin’s most ground-breaking invention, the so-called Marlin Crawler, which provided Toyota vehicles new powers never before achievable, appeared in 1994.

Marlin impacted everyone in the 4-wheel drive area in different ways. His kindness was unmatched, his grin contagious, and the rock crawling in the Toyota industry was permanently changed by the company he founded, Marlin Crawler.

Marlin and Christine donated funds from the Marlin Crawler Roundup to the Rubicon Trail years ago after losing their beloved trail in Panamint Valley. The Rubicon Trail Foundation would only exist with the almost $160,000 in donations Marlin and Christine have made to the organisation. They make such a big difference.
