First Annual BigMike's TacoBox Run (MCR16)
« on: Aug 11, 2017, 04:50:15 PM »
Hello Round-Up participants and welcome to the future of Toyota's Rock Crawling the Rubicon Trail!
This year I am kicking off my very first BigMike's TacoBox Run which will take place Wednesday the week of the 16th Annual Marlin Crawler Round-Up :driving: :woohoo:


My 28-speed 235:1 Crawl Ratio TacoBox-equipped 2016 Tacoma TRD Sport (build thread) entering the Little Sluice, Rubicon Trail


As the name implies, to be eligible you must have a TacoBox -- which is a Double Roll Bearing-equipped MC09 or MC11 Marlin Crawler Dual Case Setup available for 1995 and newer Tacomas, 4Runners, FJ Cruisers, T100s, Sequoias, and Tundras.

The Marlin Crawler TacoBox

2.7-liter, 3.4-liter, 3.5-liter, 4.0-liter, and 4.7-liter Auto or Manual drivetrains



Decreases Bouncing


Decreases Breakage


Decreases Trail Abuse


Decreases Risk


This inaugural event will be co-sponsored by Rock Solid Toys who will be bringing a half-dozen Solid Axle Swapped Marlin Crawler TacoBox-equipped Tacomas! :clap:

Any word on the availability of the TacoBox for the 3rd gen? Specifically the manual transmission version? Been trying to order one for almost 2 years.
