Hahaha... yeah I didnt even notice that until my wife watched the video and pointed it out... you get points for paying attention! But honestly for some reason it looked alot worse on video. Its hardy noticeable in person
@@FuhrerfaustSS sounds about the same as the semi invisible pin stripes on my diesel zr2, luckily none have gone though the clear coat, yet. If the sunlight hits the paint just right you see them though!
I agree... This is THEE best Custom set up... I wish I could afford to copy what he did... but I just can't justify spending the money since I bought a house. EDIT: 0:30 , truck looks like a military vehicle that would be occupied by 4 marines on a "special" midnight, off the record mission.
Just ordered that rear bumper, looking it up is how I found your channel. So many parts sitting in my garage waiting to be put on. Peak suspension coil overs, Ada leaf, timbres bump stops, 4.10 gears, the high mark fender flares, 589 shock relocation kit, steel drive shaft. Then 35s and a trifecta tune. Not looking forward to putting any more money out to get this shit done at all. Just sold my roofnest sparrow, looking to get the ikamper Skytop mini whatever it's called in the future. Can't wait for this thing to be done and I can stop pissing money away.
All of the lifts I have been researching say 18” or bigger wheel and 17’s will not work. They hit the upper A-arms. How did you get away with 17’s... I want all the sidewall I can keep
Nice truck, besides the body lift what other lifts do you have. I am saving for the 4 inch BDS lift for mine. I have a 2019 zr2 cajun red. I have done a lot of upgrades but no lifts so far. I did not want to void my warranty, I only have 17,000 miles but BDS does not void your warranty.
I have a front level spacer, and oem zr2 diesel springs to replace the stock oem gas truck springs. About 2 inches of lift in the front. Also have a half inch dif drop. BDS is a nice lift
Q: On the Wifeys Bison ? how hard would it be to get that tire out of that back of that? Why not just put a nice tire rack on hers? Reasoning for that?
Picked up the 589fab tire holder for free. Did it before we did the bed bars. It wouldn't be hard to get out, easier then underneath and its a 33 so it fits better there than underneath
With that rear bumper do you have to remove the trailer hitch completely? Or is it behind the license plate? I see the trailer light/brake plugs are still there but couldn't see the hitch
Its behind the license plate. But the stock hitch is gone. This is incorporated into the bumper so you gain all that extra departure angle from the low hanging oem hitch
@@FuhrerfaustSS I realized that after i commented. I have a 2020 going to get the BDS and i seen you had the Patagonia s on yours was wanting your thoughts? We have a lot of snow mud and bushwacking up here in Michigan. I was seriously looking at both of these tires? The yokos look a more agressive. Look like a good mudder.
Their bumper has a spot to locate it but you have to extend the wiring. I relocated mine to the bottom of the license plate with a backup camera license plate bracket I got off amazon
Hey Man, congrats, looks amazing, let me ask you something, can you please share to me the brand or website of your rear bumper, and also the bed cover too?, I think your sport bar is like mine, it has like a bracket that go inside the bed, so not every part supplies has the right bed cover for the Zr2.
The rear bumper is www.relentlessfabrication.com/ And the bed cover is a Truxedo Lopro (for sportsbar)www.amazon.com/dp/B06XB4QXGZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_OgIQdkZnEabTo
Are you still running the 1" RC level kit in the front? If so, any issues? I am going back and forth between the RC and the GM kit. Also, are you happy with the Zone body lift?
Yeah still have the rc. Just put the zoneoffroad level kit on my wifes bison and I have installed 3 of the readylift levels on local zr2s. All the levels are good. The GM kit is nice but just cost a bit more. Im also running diesel springs now to compensate for the weight of the bumper of the winch. And yeah im really happy with the zoneoffroad body lift 3 years now
@@FuhrerfaustSS I have the RC level and the Zone body lift, just haven't installed them yet. Hopefully the 33's will be here next week, so I can do the install. Just curious how your setup has held up and if you have had any issues. I appreciate the input!
@@FuhrerfaustSS The tune is awesome! My favorite mod so far. Love your build, been following you for a while on here and IG. Definitely do a video on the wife’s Bison too!
Love your truck 👍🏼 i just got a 2021 zr2 came to your channel for some ideas... also are you from Arizona? If so I also am 💪🏼💪🏼 where did you get you raptor led in the grill? Any chance you can do a video on them?
Thanks! Yes im in gilbert and we have a pretty good group of ZR2s that hit trails together... if you have instagram hit me up @loltrd and ill add you to the local group chat we have... as for the raptor lights Ryan did a video on how to and here's the link.. th-cam.com/video/C516Mz9qtFg/w-d-xo.html
Truck looks good, man! What happened with the damage from breaking the tie rod? Was it because the sleeve was too long? I just put on the peak performance sleeves that are longer than 3 inches. Got me concerned, lol
I really like the grille of the New Siverados BUT overall THIS truck looks better than ANY silverado I have ever seen... this truck looks like a stout muscular pocket pitbull. I have the Z71 Blacked out midnight edition colorado... my only complaint so far is Gas Miles (just as bad if not worse than a V8) AND the fact that there is really nothing you can do for the exhaust sound since it's a v6 - it'll never sound like a v8... my only 2 complaints so far... Colorado is so popular that Ford Ranger is pretty much just copying The Colorado... just saw a Ranger with a Roll Bar and a side plate for the ranger that says... Ranger, LOL. Blatent Design Copy of chevy's roll bar side plate with ZR2/Colorado script.
I have a 1 inch level spacer and I added oem diesel springs to give me another .75 inches of lift in the front. In the rear I have a autospringskit add a leaf
Nice truck, looking good. I cried a little at 3:15 though when you scratched the powder coat with the pin when opening the tire carrier.

Thank you!

Looks great. Curious how the 35's and drive train get along.
Your Wife Bison looks good too man I’m sure everyone wants to see it, and also a side by side comparison of the two! 👏🏿👍🏿
Thanks brotha
FANTASTIC! JUST ORDERED MY AEV HIGHMARKS. GOING TO BURN UP MY 33’s AMD REPLACE WITH 35’s SPRING 2023

That thing looks great bro !!! Im about to buy me one of those and I need it to look like yours
35's with stock suspension. No lift?
Damn man, NEXT LEVEL truck! Hell yeah 🤘🏼
Hey man neat rig I have the same in Australia and really like the front end. Could you send me any links for the front bumber
Those flares look good. WOOOOO :) (Ric Flair) Truck looks good!
Bad ass truck. Wish they sold one just the same to not go through the trouble. Jesus. Love it, all Hail Chevy

Plenty of guys running 17s my wheels are 0 offset that helps. I have about 3 inches of clearance between the UCA and my tires
Work of Art
Thank you
Did the body lift affect the bumpers spacing at all?
Awesome looking truck Jeff!!!
Heck yeah bro nice rig!! Love it.
Hey man look great..
But i wana know something.
Where you buy the bed truck...?
I have the same colorado, and need just one....
You mean the tonneau cover? Its a Truxedo Lopro (for sportsbar) of you have the sportsbar...
@@FuhrerfaustSS thanks man. Yeap it is...
How long did it take to cut flares
One of my favorite IG ZR2's for sure 👍 Best believe in taking notes📝 lol
Thanks for the kind words!
Hello, did you have to add a lift kit to fit those 35 inch tires ?
That’s a cool TRD Bro.
Thanks man....cool jeep
Nice truck, besides the body lift what other lifts do you have. I am saving for the 4 inch BDS lift for mine. I have a 2019 zr2 cajun red. I have done a lot of upgrades but no lifts so far. I did not want to void my warranty, I only have 17,000 miles but BDS does not void your warranty.

What kinda grill lights are you running
Would like to see the wife's Bison vid...My wifey has 2018 ZR2, put n-Fab steps she needed and Lo Pro like yours.
Q: On the Wifeys Bison ? how hard would it be to get that tire out of that back of that? Why not just put a nice tire rack on hers? Reasoning for that?

What bed rack on be wife's zr2.?
CBI
I been looking to run 35's after i delete my truck. I was looking at the relentless fab prerunner bumper but i gotta say this looks clean .
Thanks!
What size lift kit did u use? N brand?
Are you running 4.56 or 4.10. Also any trifecta tune? Thanks!
That's a badass truck.
Love the truck. What size lift did you put to get the 35s?
What tonneau covert are you using
Truxedo LoPro (with sportsbar)
Will a apex 12000 fit in the bumper?
Not sure. I would contact relentlessfabrication.
@@FuhrerfaustSS The Yokahamas look great. Have you had them in the mud yeat. They look like they would clean out good?
@TrailTimesZr2 not alot of mud here in Arizona. Maybe twice is mud mud. I've been really happy with them so far
@@FuhrerfaustSS I realized that after i commented. I have a 2020 going to get the BDS and i seen you had the Patagonia s on yours was wanting your thoughts? We have a lot of snow mud and bushwacking up here in Michigan.
I was seriously looking at both of these tires? The yokos look a more agressive. Look like a good mudder.
@@FuhrerfaustSS I will definitely be doing the tierod sleeves for sure. Thank you for that. Sorry you had to find out the hard way.
Do you lose your backup camera when you did this?
Their bumper has a spot to locate it but you have to extend the wiring. I relocated mine to the bottom of the license plate with a backup camera license plate bracket I got off amazon
I was wondering if you have a leveling kit
Yes, I have the RC 1 inch level and oem Diesel springs that give about .75" of lift. Also a 1.5 inch bodylift
Do you have any problems with the CV boots tearing or coming off the axle?
@@mattandrickadventures8416 not since installing my own 1/2 inch dif drop. I did have 1 inner cv pop off the clamp before the dif drop
Ok cool, thanks for information because I am running 1.25 body lift with 32.3 tires and was think about bigger tires.
what did you use to treat the metal/protect against rust after the cutting?
Just black spray paint... but I live in dry hot ass Arizona rust really isn't an issue here
Why did you just scratch that 😴 3:14
Holding the camera with one hand and trying to open the swing arm with the other. Its powder coat and easy to touch up. Not a huge deal.
@@FuhrerfaustSS nice truck 👍
Truck is badass

Nice rig and build out.
Nice. Love it. And yes to bison vids. I’ll take all the ZR2 vids
I’d love to see this in a Silverado version
It's about to be realeased.... but I like the size of this truck for the trails I do... full size would have trouble
What size lift do you have on it?
1 inch level, Diesel Springs and a 1.5 inch body lift
Did you regear your diff and if so what ratio?
I have the gears (4.56) just haven't got them installed yet. Ill need to Trifecta tune when I get them done to.
Awesome setup. Curious how you got the red ZR2 on the inside of your roll bar?
Bought and cut some plexiglass and painted them red and black over the red and 3m taped them to the sportsbar

I'm about to upgrade to 35" so what you are saying it's ok to regear later? Won't be any damage if I drive it daily on freeway without regear?
@@awsalbayati9111 yeah it is. Truck drives fine with 35s
Awesome truck! How you like your tires on freeway? How noisy they are?
Theyre actually super quiet

Very nice truck 🇺🇸👍🏻
Man I make the chevy colorados and I own a jeep wrangler unlimited right now.... I can't decide if I want to stay with the jeep or buy a zr2 🤔
I love that truck man!! .... So much that I'm trading in my ugly 2017 Toyota Tacoma for that beautiful looking truck
What's your rim offset?
0 offset. Method MR701
How is the power loss with 35's? Did you re-gear?
Its not as bad as you would think but yeah I have 4.56 gears sitting in my garage waiting to be installed
@@FuhrerfaustSS have you installed the 4.56 gears? If so, how is it?
I love the “LOL TRD” plate, haha!
Thanks! I've had it since 2017... now there's 3 or 4 other ZR2s from other states rocking it and 1 from Canada!
Truck looks good, man! What happened with the damage from breaking the tie rod? Was it because the sleeve was too long? I just put on the peak performance sleeves that are longer than 3 inches. Got me concerned, lol
Yeah I had full sleeves and broke the tierod at the base and ultimately ended up cracking the steering rack
@@FuhrerfaustSS Roger that. I appreciate the clarification. Probably look at cutting these down if possible.
