Wish I could find some zr2 axles. My buddy found a rear that needs new carrier bearing but he scooped it up for his so I’m still on the look out. Changing the fuel pump isn’t that bad and fairly quick

Well I came home from the man mall today, with i gotta say a score beyond scores lol..

first, I didn't get charged for three rain guards and an arm rest for the door.

Second, I swear they screwed up and charged me 15$ instead of 50$ for the tire carrier, receipt says 15$.

​Edit: second.five, the matching spare rim! Forgot to mention that lol

Third....


The tire carrier bolts....



The pain that is ALWAYS EXPECTED to remove them...


Was not around today, because they were the easiest things to remove today!!! Other then the rain guards just sitting there waitting for me to pick up off the ground...

And finally something to do with the jimmy and the whole story above lol. My dad picks me up after their appointment, to leave me with the jimmy to do work, and says:

"Hey So what are your plans for that tire carrier?"


15$......... someone screwed up 😆

Well ill let you know what happens lol, and itll have better pics then my first install!

I've seen a few since I've gotten mine, maybe 4 or 5 now... really going to start grabbing them up now just to have and distribute, they are worth the money.

First off, thanks swartlkk for changing the thread title, now I don't have to have the false advertisement of an envoy lol... was kinda bugging me

Now for some info on the jimmy.

I got the shim eezs a bit ago, and finally gotten gotten to installing one. The jimmy has egg shaped holes up top, and goes through pins every few months, no matter what.

Its a steel shim that goes in the bottom hinge, lifting it. I used the biggest one out of the set that was sent(3-4 different thickness), and its now usable, with the pins still broken, as I didn't have any to put in.

Sorry will add pics when I get the truck back.
