Also. They sell mufflers for like 10 bucks. Look for flowmasters on trucks etc. then sell em for 25-30 each in your newpaper etc. Look for add ons like throttle body spacers,headers,chips,performance coils,performance intakes etc.

For the 2nd gen should I be looking for 2dr or 4 dr skids?

Only some of the 5 speed zr2s got cast iron diffs and only some. I've only seen 3 in my life and one I had under my blazer. I gave $100, drove it for a few years, and sold it for $300.
