NOOB ZR2 Owner (NOt Really)
 

To comply with site policy, I am posting a lil about me

2000 ZR2 Blazer, 5" BDS,
E-locker Rear,
EP Engineering Locker Front,
33x12.50x15 Tires,
Snorkel,
Rear mounted hi-lift, camera, mounted on board air

Had the only ZR2 with RCV Spherical CV's/boots..Just not designed for a daily driver..

In my past was a ZR2.COM, ZR2USA, ZR2HR.org and even RRmain..took a long hiatus's from the interweb and no, I wasn't in jail or prison :)

I see some users from the old days, I am sure

Here is a couple pictures of the rig

2018 Hunt Trip

Welcome to the site. I, too, was on ZR2.com and ZR2USA.com. Shame about all of the lost info that was on those sites.

Yes it was, lots of great info lost.. went through that 3 or 4 times in 20+ years

oh forgot to mention, the Z is a M50 equipped manual..from the factory, with all factory updates to the M50

A blast from the past Rubion K in Lebanon

What should have been, what a missed opportunity on GM's part.

I would have bought one in a heart beat

Welcome, good to have you here.

The sales they could have gotten!!!

TY DonL, great to be back..Yes, that sales piece is for sure was a lost opportunity. With the S10 platform all but eliminated, they do have another with the Colorado/Canyon

Everybody is saying it, but for some unknown reason, GM is not listening

For the fender flares, I'm assuming your on the other end of the pond, I'm not too sure.

Over here canada/us, they are fairly easy(yet expensively over priced) to find net aftermarket ZR2 2 door flares. But are alot more worth it to find used in a wreckers or online.

Those are wicket coins! And a cool little bag!

But that baja blazer is freaking sweet!

Some more blablablazer porn and a PU too

Look at the width of those Front Euro flares compared to the US version, way wider...I just want to find the part number.. they obviously produced them for export

Coins from back in the day...

Bag was received as a promo during the early days of the ZR2, mine was received as a result of my question, why do I have N90 when I special Ordered PA3's, so they thru in a 1 year oil changes and the kit...cool little thing

Now that you mention it, they do look wider, rears look about the same as reg zr2 tho...

They have some preaty awesome fender flares that come from Indonesia. I started a thread on them, but haven't had luck on getting them to this side of the pond...

Bingo, if I could have taken that flare off to get a part number, I would have. The fronts are much wider then the american Z flares, and your right the rears are the same as its US counterpart. I even took this Euro VIN and when to my friends at GM to see if the part could be identified..j ust like the steel dif, we don't have any records.

I hope that one of our EURO counters will speak up with a part number but after 20 years of trying, not much to go on

So I am sure some folks are interested in the Front Dif LSD..

Engineered Performance

I have had it in the steel front case of my Zr2 for 5 years, and it has never failed me

.....

Thats a sweet little upgrade. Good to hear the feed back on it

I recall a couple of guys put some type of selectable locker (ARB?) up front with the steel diff and 4.56 gears. First time they both tested the locker out...KABOOM! 7.5" gears with 4.56 ratio plus locker didn't work out to well. The steel diff was fine, though.

Shock load is a killer for these 7.256 Difs, that's why I went with the Torsional.. I even contemplated going to 8 series front dif..

I started out with a ratchet locker and aluminum dif with Autotrak that was a PITA. Eventually, I broke the ear off the dif where I had to clearance it to make room for the drag link. After finally finding a part number for the steel halves, I built the current fr dif with EP locker and custom mount so you don't have to clearance the eye and I have grown to really like it..

I snagged a cast iron front diff from a zr2 when I got a parts truck. I think I might look into this locker a little more for when the diff/axle go under the blazer.

The guy at EP is small operation, yet very responsive, great product IMO, and clear to communicate. Pricey, however, options are VERY limited and again IMO, very worth it.. It has been 5 6 years since I had any coms, however, he appears to still be producing

Also

I do not have any affiliation with this company, just passing on info
