Nitro Gear & Axle: 200 Series Land Cruiser!

Nitro Gear & Axle: 200 Series Land Cruiser!

Ahhhh....the lovely sight of a 200 Series Land Cruiser crawling through the rocks =) 

This is the 2008 200 Series Land Cruiser from Nitro Gear & Axle. The company obtained the LC last year after retiring their very well used 100 Series, and have been using it for R&D on current & future Land Cruiser parts.

According to their build article, the idea for the 200 was to build a "TRD Pro" Land Cruiser. They did a complete suspension overhaul that resulted in a 3" wider track, 3" front lift, and 1" rear leveling lift for a major increase in wheel travel. Nitto Trail Grapplers on Tundra TRD Pro wheels give the look & performance of an off-road machine. Of course Nitro added front & rear ARB Air Lockers and their own 4.88 Gears

For armor, they chose ARB for skids and Slee Offroad sliders. Backed up by a Warn 9.5XP winch & Factor 55 thimble. It's clear that they intend to USE this Land Cruiser.
