Lots going on here at Nitro Offroad. Duramax swaps, Cummins transplants, just to mention a couple. Check back for pics of Jakes M715 Build. It will be getting a high pinion dana 60 front stuffed with 4.10 gears, and an OX locker, A 14 bolt corporate rear with a Yukon Grizzly locker, and disc brake conversion. A set of Humvee 37" radials on recentered 12 bolt beadlocks will round out the axle swap. Under the hood it is getting a 12 valve Cummins backed up by a Allison 1000 transmission. To say this thing is going to be a beast is an understatement. We are now a manufacturer direct dealer for OX products. If you want a totally custom offroad vehicle give us a call. We can do it all from mild to wild. Duramax conversions available as well. Thanks for looking!

Its official..Pulling season is here. For information on the High Voltage pull truck visit highvoltagediesel.com. You can follow the trucks progress, and find our events on the website. For you offroad enthusiasts we are offering some specials to get your summer going. Purchase a lift and 4 tires and get $50- $100 off your purchase!

Hey everyone, It seems as though the summer temps are creeping up on us. I haven't been keeping up with the blog as well as I had hoped, but hopefully that will change. The local offroading society was recently hit pretty hard by the tragic loss of Hard Core 4x4 founder Skip Gay. While I was more of an aquaintance than a friend ,and Skip was my closest competition, I was still saddened by the news. Regardless of what my relationship was with Skip, none can say that he didn't truly contribute a lot to the offroad community. These types of accidents are why we as offroad enthusiasts must be evermore cautious. Nobody wants to hear of such events. Take care out on the trails everybody, and have fun.

Rest in peace Skip, Samantha, and Luke.

Spring is here!

Well it looks as though warm weather is here. For all you Jeepers out there it is time to get those tires on, or that new lift installed, what about a winch?.......We can help you with al three and much more. Right now if you buy a suspension lift from us you will get a discount on the installation. How much of a discount depends on the lift. We can also build those custom accessories for you, such as bumpers, rock sliders, tire racks, and winch mounts. Give us a call for your best price.

All this warm weather makes me hope for an early spring, but also reminds me that it is almost time to get those spring/summer toys ready. If you want to take your offroad rig, or diesel to the next level give us a call. We do much more than bolt on a few parts. We can design a complete package  to suite your specific needs. Lift kits, Atv and Jeep Winches, Tires, Wheels, Jeep Accessories, Shocks, Lockers, Gears, Axle upgrades, are just some of the items we sell and install. We now sell diesel exhaust systems, and stack kits from Pypes. We install head studs, turbo's, manifolds, intercoolers, cp3 pumps, injectors, and much more. While we specialize in Duramax diesels, we work on all of the big 3. If you are looking for that hard to find part we employ a large network of parts suppliers that can find it for you. So give us a try for professional, quality service. Thanks for looking.

I just finished rebuilding a divorced np205.

These are some bumpers, and a lift I just finished. Its a mild 3.25" progressive rate lift. The front bumper incorporates a winch mount.

Well its official, pulling season is over.  Time to shift gears a bit, and get some of my projects done. I should have some updated pictures of the chevy up here soon. My next project will be arriving soon, a 1976 toyota fj40 landcruiser. Anyone interested in having a vehicle built, or modified just shoot me an email with details to nitrooffroad@gmail.com. Thanks for looking. Happy trails.

Not much new & exciting this week, Check out the high voltage page for some pics of the drivetrain breakage we have been experiencing. More upgrades on the way.

Check out The High Voltage pull truck page here http://www.highvoltagetruckpulling.blogspot.com/
You can see videos of all of this years prostock diesel pulls, and see photos of the High Voltage team.

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.

Its looking like another busy week between the pull truck, and some lingering shop projects. Project Heavy Chevy is really taking shape. I will post pictures of the build tomorrow.

Hello everyone, On the left I have put up some videos of the 2011 maine pro stock diesel pulls. I have been working on the High Voltage truck quite a bit, and it has been a lot of fun to see it transform into its current state. I will try to update daily, and make this as informative as possible. I will also be posting pictures of customer vehicles, and modifications performed at Nitro Offroad.
