    From the bottom of the Big Sluice, Rubicon trail, to the top of Imogene Pass, Colorado, we have had this bumper on the trail and at many events this spring and summer and have received overwhelmingly positive feedback from fellow off-roaders.

    Here come some images from our website to whet your appetite and showcase what we'll be producing soon!

    • Longer side tube length to accommodate tires smaller than shown, if necessary
    • Attachments for Fog/Driving lights
    • Anchor attachment(s) for winch clevis and/or d-ring shackles
    • Frame Brace will not restrict radiator or power steering cooler airflow

    Modded it so much it turned into a 4Runner
    Love the tube style bumpers. The marlin bumper was the inspiration for my home-made tube bumper.

    Good morning guys!!

    Sorry to get your hopes up: They are not available yet. However we do have good news in revitalizing our Body Armor department so I'd like to post a quick update here!

    - Fog light bracket: We probably won't include a bracket on the bumper, pending demand. For mine, I made small brackets that comes off the front body mount and wired them into my factory fog light circuit like so:
    bracket01.jpg bracket02.jpg bracket03.jpg

    - Stinger/Hoop: This is a throw back to the classic Marlin Crawler design and will be optional. :thumbsup:

    - Good news: After a lengthy process of starting over with a new fabricator (last fabricator left California back in 2013 (can't blame him)) we are now manufacturing our 1979-1995 Rear Bumpers and soon will include 1979-1995 Front Bumpers as well as 1995-2004 Tacoma Rear Bumpers. (View these here: https://www.marlincrawler.com/armor/rear-bumper) After this we'll very, very likely start on these front 3rd gen bumpers. Sorry this has taken longer than we originally hoped but we are working hard on getting our body armor line back up to speed!

    I'll reply back with any update as soon as possible.

    Regards,
    BigMike
