That does look pretty sweet I especially like lil man he looks meaner than the truck lol. How do you like your roof lights? I was just looking at them today when I stopped at Advance to get my cleaning supplies and I figured for $30 a pair incliding wiring harness what could go wrong. And then I see that you have them. I won't be using them much I'm sure but I figured I would get a real opinion on them since you have them.

lol ya hes awesome hes my nephew and we hang out a good bit.
for my roof lights i drilled holes in the roof rack right above the two black rubber things in the roof to keep them even then i used some pretty heavy duty wire and ran the wires under the roof rack bar and down through the door jamb and under the headliner into the overhead console into the garage door opener compartment and drilled a hole through the plastic door and got my power from splicing into the hot wire from the console lights.

and you dont have to worry about leaving them on for a long time ive left them on for an hour and they were fine and ive used them in the rain and they were fine

Hi there. Yes, it does look great. I've been looking for rims for my ZR2 and am wondering what it would look like if I have rims that are 4.5 offset. All those formulas you guys just listed is Japanese to me. LOL. The original rims have an offset of 6" I believe, so if I get rims that are 4.5 or so, my tires will stick out 1.5" than now? Looking at yours, you don't have the flares like I do on my ZR2, so I am wondering if it would really be sticking out that far?

Because you have a zr2 technically your rims will stick out even farther from the fenders than mine but only by about .5 inches more but because of your flares they will only stick out about an inch past your flares. Only reason I know speciflicly is because I have a friend with a zr2 we are turning into a rock crawler and he has stock rims and without the flares his tires stick out and is about 1inch narrower on each side than mine so the 1.5 inches more would make tham stick out about .5 inches more than mine. Make sense or am I just rambling?
