Walking The Crawler up "The Wall" @ 580:1Here is BigMike "Walking The Crawler" up The Wall on the Poughkeepsie Gulch Trail near Silverton, Colorado. Special thanks to both Jonathan Harris and Kyle Cummings for the video footage!
At the end we've included various examples of what you must do for this obstacle if you lack gearing and are unable to Crawl: The only option is to keep your RPM high in order to generate enough torque to climb the obstacle which results in uncontrollable wheel-speed, reduced traction, and greatly increased chance of vehicle, occupant, spectator, and trail damage.
The Marlin Crawler adds an extra Low Range which greatly increases torque, traction, control, and reaction time. This extra Low Range is optional; It may be engaged or disengaged at any time by the driver. Therefore, with the Marlin Crawler disengaged, the vehicle will function 100% like stock, and BigMike, like those shown at the end, would literally have no choice but to use a lot of throttle and high RPM to climb this obstacle.
But by having the option of the extra Marlin Crawler Low Range, potential damage, risk, and abuse is instantly avoided all at the flip of an added shift lever.

Shout-out to our dear friend Woody for saving a potential roll-over at the end! *waves*
