Cheapest way to make it more capable offroad is bigger tires. Cheapest way to fit bigger tires is a body lift. Toss a winch into the mix and you should be good to go for the most part. To make it truly capable off road, SFA.

So, what should I do to make this low mileage-like new ZR2 more capable?

Welcome!!

Get bigger and stronger axles, bigger tires, and a lift. You'll be good to go! Blazers are great off road, 4wheel or not!

Welcome to the forum! 35k on your 2nd owner 02?!?! I hate you...

I had a handful of plastic interior sqeaks and rubbing when I put some of my trim back together. To fix it I took the loop portion of some Velcro and cut it to fit the overlaps near the seams. Has hushed her down nicely.
