- - 2004 Zr2 Build (https://blazerforum.com/forum/builds-48/2004-zr2-build-100087/)

Picked up my 04 Zr2 Blazer in June of 2015. Only had 69K miles on it.

Put the roof rack and push bar I had on my old Jimmy

Removed the push bar and lower valance for better approach angle. Painted the bowtie black.

Sorta custom brush guard with winch mount. Picked up from a guy who said it fit an S10 Blazer but didn't line up correctly. I ended up drill holes in the frame and utilizing some angled steel and the tow-hook slots I was able to mount up the winch and guard. Rugged Ridge 9,500 lb winch.

As she sits now.

Future plans are to put on some Camaro wheels I just picked up, CB radio, and sway bar disconnect.

Eventually I'd like to do a body lift and put on some 33x10.5x15 MTs. Also, like to install a blu-tooth stereo and some other little features.

I like those sliders! I need to build some for my truck.

Thanks! I'm pretty happy with them. These are the ones I got:

Amazon

58" was the perfect length..

Nice looking ZR2. How many miles are you up to now?

Thanks! Just rolled over $130K. It's my DD almost 50 miles every day. I'd like to get a commuter and make it more of a weekend warrior bc then I'd put on some MTs and wheel it a little harder and not worry.

Looks good! Always wanted to see those wheels on a 4WD.

A buddy of mine had those same wheels (Monte Carlo I thought?) on his '83 2wd S10. I agree with Craig, they do look good on a 4wd.

What do you think of the hood bra? How is that working out for ya?

Thanks! I always preferred that style and I found a set for $100 so I couldn't pass them up.

That style was more common on the Monte Carlo but I looked it up and that style had short run on Camaros from I think 80-81. Luckily the Camaro one's had a little higher backspacing.
I like the bra ok. It's honestly more for looks than function but I'm going back and forth on taking if off. I like the ones that stretch back over the whole hood but they only make those for Jeeps.
