Nitro Gear Project "Murph" 97 FZJ80
Nitro Gear Project "Murph" 97 FZJ80 40th, 37" Nitto's, Nitro 5.29, 2.5" Icon/OME Suspension
One of our rep's known as "Murph" built this 1997 FZJ80 as his first land cruiser project. The goal was something that could wheel, as well as commute. We wanted to take a bit different of an approach by keeping the suspension at standard 2.5" OME spring height so we could retain driveline angles, COG, driveability etc. We also wanted to run big tires, so we took off the flares to see what kind of cutting we could do while keeping it looking good. We also wanted to use all off-the shelf parts that we sell.
