Tacoma RCLT Marlin Crawler kit preparation: remove factory IFS, differential and steering

The wait is over – the Marlin Crawler RCLT HD install begins! This is the first episode of a brand-new series where I’ll be transforming my 3rd Gen Toyota Tacoma with the ultimate rock-crawling upgrade: the RCLT HD (Rock Crawling Long Travel Heavy Duty) front suspension kit from Marlin Crawler(https://www.marlincrawler.com/). In this video, we kick things off by stripping the truck down to its bones — removing all the stock front components including the IFS, front differential, and power steering gear. It’s a full teardown to prepare for the serious off-road gear that’s coming next. 🔧 If you're into off-roading, wrenching, and serious trail performance upgrades, you're in the right place.
