A bit of an update on my 1996 jimmy. Installed a double din stereo today. Looks and sounds great. Did a write up on it in the audio section. Whent out to a wreckers yesterday and picked up a full floor shift center console with shifer and a used brake booster (nasty to remove but mine is leaking) all for $20 . Not going to complain. So that will be next weekend project. Also found a set of 17" alloy wheels from a camaro that are going to go in for soda blasting. Lots of fun coming up for my truck. Will update as i go.

It really is. I did this recently too and it is so much better on dark rainy nights.

I like the interior panels very much.
U said they are 1 offs. Who did em 4 u
I used 2 door og rear plastic panels on my build, long story on a 97 4x4

Had to make the rest using abs sheets and a heat gun

Same w/walls. But an escalade headliner worked well. Including rear a/c. Almost done...

Default 2 ZR2s

I have a 2005 Jimmy Highrider ZR2 and a 2000 Blazer ZR2 that are in stages of restoration. Interior is a difficult issue although the Jimmy has the aftermarket faux carbon fibre bezels and door panel inserts. Your interior upgrades are really nice. May I ask did you do them and what did you use?

I used the 95 2dr blazer rear panels, cutting the top roll over part and added abs plastic, welded too existing length to roll up the wall and carpet to cover.
in the very back, i made pieces using 1/8th inch abs plastic to cover the rear a/c of a 2000 escalade. Also used that same headliner for all the overhead vents, etc. A friend made a plenum to go inside the wall to transfer the ac.
the fold down seats worked well in the back too.. i cut the hardwood floor out of 54 dodge and used blazer rear floor, welded in.

Measuring the dodge and what to keep

Fitting the firewall to cab byshings with dash clearances at "a" post

Sandblasting and then add rear section of 4dr blazer flooring

100 percent photos to come

Ive cleaned up where they join with a small rectangular curved piece w/carpet to hold both in place

Both rear pieces come out, passenger side has rear ac, drivers side hides jack, tire tools, and fuel neck
