Hey all! As you may have heard, Marlin Czajkowski the owner of Marlin Crawler, passed away yesterday, March 9th, 2023.
He has been credited with the being the father of rock crawling and specifically had a love and passion for Toyotas.
He was a true genius. an innovator in the sport of the rock crawling and a staple of the Toyota off-road community for a very long time.
Marlin Crawler is coming up on their 30 year anniversary next year and it is extremely sad to hear of the passing of such a legend! R.I.P. Marlin, you will be missed!
@Pacer and I have decided it was only right to dedicate the April trail run to Marlin and make it a yearly event moving forward. The purpose of this trail ride is to honor and pay our respects to such a great man and the activity that we all love so much, which he spearheaded w/ such fierce tenacity.
It's very fitting that we decided to name this event "Carwlin' for Marlin" - please see the details below for the event info.
