Hey Dtroyt - P/N for that crossover pipe/transfer case skid plate?
I have no need for this truck, but I very badly want one

But I get the, probable, reason(s) that they decided to stick with the 31's though for better on-road manners.

It's basically an appearance package how it sits now. Tossing on some 33's would distance it from a regular ZR2, but it's probably only a few grand more than a ZR2 as it sits.

Combination of on-road manners and the need to trim the front fenders.

$250 a month for a 45k :truk:

:notsure: that’s nuts
Which is why I’m seriously considering it.
That is free. Incredible.

Looks amazing and wayyyyyy more protection than the stock Z71 "skid"
Yea, the Z71 "skid" is :|

I bought 589 skids for the oil pan, trans, and t-case. Need to get them installed.
That's a lot of skids.

That's what I figured. I'm willing to bet it's still more than capable on the 31's though. Can you even fit 33's on a stock ZR2 without trimming anything?

The Bison did Rubicon just fine, as well as tons of Moab. 31's are just fine, it's really mall crawlers that want more.

33's won't fit on a stock ZR2 without trimming.

Good to know. I like the 31's honestly, never understood the desire for the larger tires unless it's on a crawler or something like that that can actually use them.

:aintcare: I'm still leaning towards putting 32's on the Z71. 255/75/17s should fit quite nicely with the leveling kit.

I'm thinking about grabbing a proclip dash mount with a RAM ball on it to mount my incoming, if I ever win an auction, tablet. Should be out of the way when not in use, and I don't want to have a giant mount sitting unused. RAM mount should be easy enough to pop off when I'm not running the tablet.
It should be placed well/adjustable enough that wifey can use it to help navigate when we're riding together.

I'd suggest an iPad Mini. Not too big, but bigger than a cell phone.

Also, I really like my cupholder mount. Good location for dual-access.
:dat: Trying to grab an iPad Mini, seems like it would be a nice size for what I'm looking to do with it.

I like your cupholder mount, and would go that route if we didn't use both console cup holders frequently.

Fuck, man. I literally just sold the wife’s iPad mini she never used last week. If I’d known you were looking for one...
