About us
Nitro Offroad is more than just a source for all of your offroad parts. With over 10 years in business we have gone from just an offroad parts sales company to a complete offroad vehicle design, build, and repair center. Specializing in custom vehicle builds entailing one off fabrication, and design concepts. We have recently expanded our portfolio to include performance diesel modification, and pull truck design as well.

Here are a few pictures of project Heavy Chevy. The rear frame was cut off about a foot behind the cab, and upgraded to a full 8" frame. The rear axle is a 14 bolt corporate out of a van. It has dana 60 front brake calipers, brackets, and rotors, 4.56 gears, detroit locker, and a great lakes offroad diff cover. The front axle is a hybrid. The housing is a 78 ford high pinion dana 60 that has been shaved for ground clearance, and filled with 4.56 gears. Knuckles are dodge and spindles, hubs, rotors, and other associated brake parts are gm. Outer stub shafts, and locking hubs have been upgraded to dana 70 35 spline units. Rear suspension is comprised of 63" chevy springs with a shackle flip. Front suspension is comprised of 52" chevy springs with Nitro Offroad fabricated hangers. Tires are 37-12.5-16.5 goodyear mt/r. The drivetrain will ultimately be a diesel (either a cummins or duramax), but for now will probably be a 454 with a nv4500 5 speed backed up by a divorced np205 transfer case.
