COMING EVENTS

The following morning we headed on towards Murphy Hogback which is a very steep and narrow section of trail. Use caution here because there is no room for two vehicles to pass. At the top of the Hogback is Murphy A, B, and C camp sites. This camp easily has some of the best views but the high winds at the top could be a nuisance for campers. The descent from Murphy’s was another switchback shelf road and at the bottom the terrain slowly changed from steep and twisty to flat and sandy. Here we traveled around the rim often coming within feet of the drop off to the Green River below. After roughly 39 miles, day two driving was complete and we rolled into our final camp at Potato Bottom B. This camp site is in very close proximity of the river but because of the thick undergrowth and steep muddy banks it’s not worth making the walk. That night we enjoyed some juicy sirloins, loaded mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus.

FEATUREDSUPPLIER Just Differentials is located in

Cashmere Washington, just 2-1/2 hours east of Seattle. Just Differentials was created by Jeremy Ayers and Carl Montoya and started as a small differential shop that also offered off-road products online. They opened shop in 2005 and have been expanding ever since. They started as a company that sells a variety of products and soon realized the need for specific

gearing applications. Then the Nitro Gear and Axle product line was born. Nitro is their house brand that continues to be among the best in the industry.  With quality on their minds Jeremy and Carl turned to the same manufactures as your OEM products. By using better materials, machining, heat-treating and lapping process, Nitro has become an ultra-reliable brand that ensures a strong, quiet running, long lasting product. Every new application is actually installed in there own personal vehicles to ensure excellent fitment and easy setup. Their theory is "Do to others what you would want done to you".

The guys at Just Differentials are also diehard Toyota fans. One interesting fact is that Nitro Gear & Axle pioneered the V6 Ring and Pinion Gear swap into a 4-cylinder housing. They continue to offer this product because they feel that it’s the better product, and we agree. Because attention to detail, durability and precision is at the heart of everything they do at Just Differentials, it is little wonder why Toyota themselves use Nitro Gear & Axle products. Yes, Toyota used Nitro Gears for the

BAJA 1000 1st Place win this year and the Baja 1000 and 500 win last year, all on one diff setup without being rebuilt, the same parts we offer to the public.

Just Differential's Employs over 25 people and just recently opened a warehouse in Atlanta, Georgia. So if you are in the continental US, Nitro Gear products can be on your doorstep in no more than 3 days, and with over $15,000,000 worth of product in stock, a total of over 25,000 sq. ft. of warehouse, and 4,000 different products, Just Differentials is an outstanding leader in the off-road product industry.

Amazingly, they haven't forgotten about the little guys either. Just Differentials still does “installs” in their Washington warehouse for the local guy's. They continue to be the industry leader of the newest products on the market.  They were the first to offer aftermarket gearing options for any Toyotas made in the last 10 years, that’s right Tundra, FJ Cruiser, 4runner, Land Cruiser, etc. Even overseas models.  In fact, Nitro offers gearing options for ALL Toyota 4x4’s. Nitro also offers a full line of Chromoly Rear axles and Birfield kits for Toyotas. And for you Tacoma guys, don't be surprised to see a set of 8.75” gears for your 2016’s." Additionally, we encourage you not to forget that Nitro Gear & Axle is also an incredibly supportive supplier. They are continually helping shops around the world promote their products. They also offer great discounts to distributers like “yours truly” Low Range Off-Road, who can offer any of the many Nitro products. We can send it to you from our local warehouse or drop ship from Nitro's locations at a very competitive rate. We also invite you to watch for Low Range Off-Road SALES because we often have the lowest prices around on Nitro Gear products.   Low Range has always viewed Nitro Gear & Axle as a “stand up” supplier and that is why we choose them as our Featured Supplier.

If you don't think this belongs on the list then try and make one.  It's virtually becoming the standard in off road racing and we are proud to offer the best transmission case available to Ultra 4 and off road racing. Reid Racing uses a phenomenally

expensive permanent mold casting technique for the Super Hydra 400®, which results in a massively strong, tough, ductile, and leak-free case that is 100% interchangeable with existing GM Turbo 400 cases.
