Installed a 5watt led in one of my map lights along with a current regulator to ensure optimum led life. 350 lumens is a whole lot brighter than the old lights.

Just picked up my 01 ZR2 yesterday. Got it for $3650.

Did the left hinge pins today, put anti freeze in, checked out the rear window not opening problem, scanned for the brake error code, bought a spare tire.

You'll get the best info if you first use the search button at the top of the forum, and then create a new thread for any additional questions you have on the topic. I know for a fact that lift kits have a whole thread dedicated to them.

just wanted to let you know.
I was told not to put in synthetic fluid in the diffy because that would damage the components since the truck never had it before and it didn't come factory like that. So I put in Valvo high performance 80-90w and through in the additive. It helps me get to sleep better at night haha. I kid.

The additive I got says: "Designed to help quiet chattering differentials and improve gear oil performance."

And yes, I just did further research and it says since I added the additive it could cause locker delay. Well crap. I've never read that before. Hopefully it doesn't damage the locker. I doubt it would but never know. Thanks for the info man!

I... dropped my truck off at the body shop at 7:30 this morning to get my rear 3 rear bumper pieces replaced, exhaust fixed, and front and rear bumpers painted.

Grand total, $100.

Thank you insurance company and dumb chick who is now sitting in jail due to 2 warrants, 5 unpaid tickets, suspended license, and no proof of insurance when she hit me on friday night. That sirs and madams, is why you call the cops when you are in an accident.
