Yes. The "Highrider" name badge was the name that GMC used instead of ZR2. I believe some still had the ZR2 decals,which I may be wrong correct me if I am. Still a ZR2 and Highrider are the same thing minus a few details such as color matched flares, sonoma grille,lights,and bumper, and GMC markings instead of Chevy.

 

I don't think the Highrider had any decals from the factory. dealerships (or by now crooked used car dealers) may have stuck them on trying to get more money.

 

i've seen one or two around here with zr2 decals! but yes vielecustoms mentioned highriders didnt come with any decals.

and as br&onsZ mentioned they came with the obvious differences. grille, headlights, badges(GMC), and most with color matched flares! OEM option of having the same flares as chevy zr2's being graphite or black i think were available also!

 

I've never seen a GMC with non color matched fenders. But then again there is not a very big population of z's in my area. I'm one of like maybe two that are modded. But don't hold me on any statement as they are based off of what I have seen. However I love the look of the painted flares but with the way I am offroad that would just be one more thing to scratch and then have to polish when I got home!

 

ive seen 2 that matched my black highrider and had the ZR2 decals on the bed. Now the red highrider and the polo green highrider i seen had "highrider" decals on the door where it would say sonoma if it were two wheel drive

MY truck

 

Not sure what the diff is but i had a 98 gmc sonoma and it had the highrider badges mine was the sand color and it was the same thing as my zr2.

 

yea my noma said highrider on the door decal.

 

mine has a decal/ stick that says highrider all the way around looks factory...

front of driver and pss door right after where it says sonoma.. highrider is like ghosted in the line after it

 

iv seen to noma ZR2s around here, the 98+ one has Z stickers but the 97- one says highrider and mountain graphics on the bottom of the door. Both have body colord stuff though.

 

This may sound dumb but was there a GMC Blazer Zr2/Highrider? I have never seen one of them before...

 

The ZR2 option was never offered with any of the Crew Cab, 4-Door Blazer, or GMC Jimmy (USA) models.


^^ from wiki

i think i read somewhere that they have it in other countries, im looking for proof (the gmc jimmy highrider)

EDIT: got it. it came in 2003 in canada

A ZR2 Jimmy surfaces in Canada. This came as a surprise because it was unavailable in the USA. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RPO_ZR2#cite_note-Jimmy-1

 

The real important meat and potatoes of ZR2/Highrider is where "ZR2" comes from.
It can be proven by the RPO code ZR2, noting that it has the wide stance package from the factory. And of course all the other goodies.

If you want to see a rare version of the RPO ZR2 trucks, find one that is 2-wheel drive. Yes, they did make some. Their idea of taking on the Toyota Tacoma PreRunner I guess. I've only seen one, and verified the ZR2 package by the RPO code and the 2-wheel drive factory drivetrain from the VIN number.

ZR2 2WD is readily available in Colorado lineup.

 

My Jimmy is a ZR2 (high rider)

 

If i ever got a blaZeR-2 im gonna put a jimmy front end on it

 

hey I got a 2wd sonoma highrider



untill I rebuild the font diff and put it back in, lol

 

decals were a dealer add on item...Just FYI.

 

Okay here's a really dumb question what makes a ZR2 a ZR2 like what was the options what was the package what was it was a control arms was a torsion keys what what made it a high off road package what gave it the height

 

Just for some probably needless info the RPO ZR2 indicates the "High Wider" performance package. Front tires are set I think 3.5" wider than the rear. I've had wrong suspension components sent to me one or two times.
