What have you done to your Silverado ZR2 this week? 🛠️

[Byrds8]

Put the first thousand miles on it today lol. I guess at this rate, I may put a bit more than 12k a year on the clock.

Put 37x12.50 bfg KO'3 on.

Put 37x12.50 bfg KO'3 on.

Looks good, how much clearance on the UCAs at full lock?

 

[OC ZR2]

Looks great!

Back it at with the guys at Alpha Off Road, finally got my front bumper widened to line up with my wide body!! I’ve been waiting to have that void filled!!! LMAO!!!

What else have I done recently?!?! Out with all the vinyl, gold badges, emblems, bedside stripe. Did the bedside stripe in red (paint) and went back to factory black and red badges. Also did the rear and partial bed sides in satin black paint! I also painted my carbon fiber wide body front fenders GM factory black. Still need to wet sand some runs and orange peel when I have the time…

Future projects: some more painting to do on the bedsides and hood. Gonna have much less carbon exposed rather than full panels for a more cohesive look.

Thinking Christmas to myself will be a set of 37” Nitto Recon Grapplers.

Hood still needs some more finessing but it’s way better than what it was! The driver side sat about 1/4 + high and the passenger was also high but not as bad. Slotted out where the hinges attach to the truck for more adjustment.

Took my Dremel to the sides of the hood and the fender by the windshield, really cleaned up the spacing and uniformity between the hood and fender.

I've installed our new hood protector with Amber lights.

Took two photos: one in daylight and one in the dark. What do you think of the results?

Added a set of DV8 shackles to the AEV bumper. Nice little splash of red!

Took it to the dealership and had the pico testing done. Got the electric loaner car overnight. (POS) Service manager called this morning, she passed! Got the updates, oil change, high speed oil cap and all that jazz. Talked to the sales guy when I got there and asked if he would trade my ‘24 with 7k miles and a 10 year/150k warrantied motor straight across for a ‘26 model that doesn’t have that. Figure it’s gotta be worth something, right. He said no. Dammit JimBob!

I recommend spraying them with a coat of UV clear coat.

Mine faded 2 months in. Lookin like dehydrated clown lips

Glad someone notices, sheeeeesh

Today I installed a Trash bin in my ZR2. Anyone like it?

Finally put fender flares on my 1500 ZR2. They don't make fender flares specifically for the ZR2 so I had to get fender flares for a regular Silverado and custom cut and fit the front fender flares because of the different front fenders and bumper that are on the ZR2. What do you all think? Should I leave them flat black or paint them gloss black to match the truck?

I like them like that. Probably easier to keep clean with gloss finish. But will also show scratches. I paint matched a set once and if ai recall, paid about $600.

Thanks. I think I like them the way they are too. These were an inexpensive set cause I knew I had to cut and fit them and didn't wanna waste $500-$600 if it didn't work out right. With these, if I ruined the set cutting them I would've only been out $150. But it worked out for the best. Turned out pretty well. Plus, I had to do something. Either fender flares or mud guards cause with the 2" wheel spacers and mud tires the sides of my truck was getting beat to hell.

Had the Borla catback installed today. Not as loud as I expected but still sounds mighty nice. Link below to the video since it's too big to upload.
