The start of Project ZR2

Merritj2417 · 07-10-2008, 02:52 AM

those bfg's look good on there, and even though it makes it hard to see in the woods, the tint looks good too

haro2289 · 07-10-2008, 11:59 PM

Looks like in this picture yours has the same issue as mine with the carrier. It's warping the back of the quarter panel right where the hinges are.

Pisses me off everytime i look at it.

Yea wtf is with that my blazer is starting that soo i think im gonna remove it but idk where to put the tire cause i got subs in the trunk and no roof rack and the blaZeR2 down the street from me has like almost holes were the hinges meet the quarter panel

2002zr2crackaa · 07-11-2008, 04:53 PM

yeah that is a problem..ive gone down the road going like 50 and the tire carrier open up too!
that was no good. haha

but i guess its the price u pay when u have one. It looks good but u cant see really good and it warps the rereand of ur body

haro2289 · 07-11-2008, 11:34 PM

yeah I don't have mine on right now cuz it's doing the clunk/rattle noise thats common with these. I also can now see the cars behind me :P I'm thinking of getting a rola roof rack from synergy and throwing a tire up there because, I too have a sound system in the back.

Onimun · 07-13-2008, 05:26 AM

Tires look good. That above pic reminds me how much i hate the zr2 sticker...lol

s10sixteynine · 07-13-2008, 04:31 PM

not all have that sticker i dont like it either mine looks like the z71 stickers and it is factory,(not the after market where the r goes all the way to the bottom of the z) this is the only pic i have where u can kinda see it, and my camera is busted and havent bought a new one yet or i would take another one

tspears · 07-13-2008, 04:37 PM

Black what out? All the windows? Dont you think that would affect night time viewing ability? Something he tried to overcome with the addition of such lights mounted on the baja bar which he has posted pictures on the first page.

blipidy · 07-13-2008, 07:21 PM

get the spare tire relocator/drop kit, or just do what i did and cut the bracket and reweld it about 3.5 inches down.
you will be able to see better out your rear window, and your auto dimming rear view mirror and driver side mirror will work like they were designed to.

thats the best thing i ever did you my blaZeR2

mine has started to warp it a little too. i think its more so caused by allowing the carrier to reach the end of its travel limit. because when it extends all the way out, it will sometimes abruptly stop and bounce back, so i think thats is what caused the flex on the mounting area (well the weight of that 31" tire too)
mines a 99, i bought it in 04 and it didnt have it, but a few times opening it up on the trail or on an incline, the carrier got away from me and open all the way, i started to notice the flex.

wagonproject · 07-13-2008, 10:18 PM

Yeah my new 03 blazer has it. First thing I am getting rid of! I hate the spare tire on the rear.

AmosM823 · 07-13-2008, 11:16 PM

2002zr2crackaa · 07-13-2008, 11:38 PM

Rp360 · 07-16-2008, 02:06 AM

Nice Z man, was trying to find a zr2 blazer but I just ended up getting a LS 4x4 2dr also white. Probably going to buy some clear corners, would like to lift it but with gas prices its questionable.

2002zr2crackaa · 07-16-2008, 10:52 AM

Yeah, I'm just not too big on body lifts because of how they look and the gap where you see the body. A friend of mine with a full size 6.0 chevy truck (hes got his cranked) was offering to crank my tbars but its not worth the wear to me.

2002zr2crackaa · 07-16-2008, 10:42 PM

yeh..well.....go six inches then

thats a good excuse to do it lol

marduk · 07-19-2008, 07:33 PM

Hey I noticed you don't have your flarettes, did you take them off? If so can I buy the passenger side one?

2002zr2crackaa · 07-19-2008, 11:26 PM

i deffinatly dont have either, i bought it like that and i figured that it was someting wrong.

Peco · 07-20-2008, 10:18 AM

Some things I did to mine was Cowl hood, Clears, debadge (think of getting a red ZR2 decal for the skid plate), painted grill black, extreme bowtie, and also have a push bar and KC's to go on yet.
