Nice, looks like it's in pretty good shape. What are the plans for it?

Not gonna go crazy with it, like the 31`s so may just keep the suspension stock, less headaches. Want to put my winch on it. Gonna using it a lot on the highway. Heres some progress today. Roof basket on.

Oil cooler line fell off pumped all the oil out and fried the motor. Spring clip holding the line to the radiator was missing (didnt know it ) started it up, pumped the oil out in my driveway and drove it a half mile till it died. Fixed it, started it up and had a bad knock that just got worse with time. Always wanted a ZR2 anyway
