Marlin Crawler "Marlink" Heavy Duty Tie-Rod
I have a slightly used "Marlink" heavy duty tie-rod with FJ-80 tie-rod ends. I used it for 3 months before going to the crossover steering system on my 1984 4Runner. It should fit any solid Toyota axle (but not guaranteed). This is a fantastic upgrade for any solid-axle stock steering system. One of the ends has a 1/4" slit in one of the grease boots. It happened when I was taking the tie-rod off from the ball-joint seperator. It has never been in any water with the seal slit. If I were to run it, I would throw some silicone on it and drive the wheels off of it. If you have any questions, let me know. I bought it for $127 plus shipping from Marlin in May. I will sell it for $85 plus shipping. Shipping is from Boise, Idaho 83703. Thanks.

no, you cant use it for highsteer. the new knuckle steering arms set two inches wider than the stock width tie-rod did. so pretty much the marlink is only good for someone with a stock steering set up on a solid axle. the upgraded fj-80 tie-rod ends are the same and worth keeping around for me (since they are $30 a piece), but are necessary for the marlink. check out marlin's site: http://www.marlincrawler.com/htm/steering.htm
this is a picture of the marlink in action, but i dont have a picture of mine. i will grab one tonight when i get home.
