Marlin Crawler is proud to release the world's first Five Pattern Flange. Working with our friends at Inchworm, this flange was created with 16 holes comprising of 5 different flange bolt patterns that accommodate 18 different driveline bolt pattern applications.
The five patterns include: 60mm x 60mm, 64mm x 56mm, 66mm x 66mm, 68.3mm x 60mm, and 70mm x 61.5mm.
The 18 different applications include:
* FJ40 63-8/69 fine spline differentials
* FJ40 8/69-1/74 fine spline differentials
* FJ40 1/74-8/84 fine spline differentials
* FJ40 78-80 4spd t/case front output shaft
* FJ60 1/74-8/84 differentials
* FJ60 9/84+ differentials
* RN Hilux 79-83 differential and rear t/case output shaft
* RN Hilux 79-83 front CV driveshaft
* RN Hilux 84+ differentials and non-CV driveshaft
* RN Hilux 84-95 front CV driveshaft
* RN Hilux 84-95 front CV driveshaft drilled out
* RN Hilux 86-87 Turbo differentials and t/case outputs
* VN Hilux 88 differentials and t/case outputs
* VN Hilux 88-95 front CV driveshaft patterns
In addition to the it's amazing compatibility, Marlin Crawler redesigned the flange with thicker walls: 35% thicker than a stock Toyota flange and 38% larger than the common aftermarket triple drilled flange. Please consider the below image:

As you can see, this new 5-27 (five pattern, 27-spline) Marlin Crawler Flange is 38% thicker than the common triple drilled flange and also includes inner and outer chamfering to maximize strength. Just look how BEEFY our flange is compared to the other flanges!

Check this out: When we put our 30-spline Chromoly output shaft into Team Home Grown Racing's XRRA Competition Buggy (pictured above), they blasted Tundra V8 torque through a stock Toyota V8 Tundra flange attached to our 30-spline output shaft and managed to blow it apart!
Here are the remains of their factory Tundra V8 flange attached to our 30-spline Chromoly output shaft:

Now they are running our 5-30 (5-pattern 30-spline) flange and have never looked back.
Our products are so strong that we are discovering new weak-links and taking care of them by offering only the strongest and highest quality products on the market.Regards,
