It is awful
Must have been designed by a blind guy.

No, but really...real ARB stuff is designed for use in Australia when you're hundred of miles away from civilization in the outback and hit a kangaroo, you're not fucked. I learned about this when working global accessories for Colorado.
The ultimate offroad toughness standard.

Those only work when you have a Bison IIRC.

Surprised they haven't released the Bison skidz yet.

Tranny skid will work on a Z71 if you get the yet to be released transfer case skid.

Exactly. You need Bison skid plates to make these work.

Sounds about right. I was fighting them to not release these parts at insane prices. Looks like they were just waiting for me to leave.

:lolol:

Other bumpers from AEV are in the $1200 range, IIRC. That would have been palatable, but $2200 :nope:
I'll look elsewhere if I swap out rear bumpers now.

Yea, when I was in the accessories group, they wanted me to figure out how to sell the Bison parts for non Bisons. I ran the math and the MSRP requirements were way beyond what the market would bear...IIRC, the rear bumper was over $2k as you see it. I told them no way, we'll just sell the parts with the truck, make the truck more exclusive. I stayed firm on that despite constantly being asked.

Looks like they got their way.

Used those parts will go for more than what the aftermarket is providing. Interesting.

The Bison is a great option package itself doe.

It really is. I would have bought an orange one to replace Blurple if I stayed at GM.

My current dilemma is what to do with my truck. I'm going to be over miles when the lease is up if things keep as they are, so do I get something in addition to it in a year or two? Or do I look at maybe trading it in on a ZR2/Bison? Or just buy it out?

Plenty of time before I need to actually make a decision doe. 13 days until I've had it for a full year, damn time has flown by.

Colorado is great and pretty durable. In fact, I've driven mine a few times this week and partially debate buying the lease out as a :scrooge: option. ($33k ZR2 vs $50k Gladiator). It's really an outstanding truck.

Depends on what your lease buy-out is, but it's not a bad idea.

Even new, ZR2's are a great value proposition compared to a Gladiator (comparably equipped Jeep is $10k more, can get a Bison for $4k less).

Buying out the lease is probably my #1 option, I don't really have a reason not to... For the wheelin' that I do, and all of the other activities I do with wifey and kiddo it really is an ideal vehicle.
Maybe toss on an OME life with some 32's and some additional skids in the future.

Yea, I think a Z71 would be perfect for most wheeling with slightly more lift, slightly bigger tires (32's) and a bunch of underbody protection (the full AEV kit would be great). If the buy-out is cheap enough, it's the way to go.

Gives Falken some time to figure out they should be making the AT3W in a 255/75/17. :megusta:
Buy-out is 22k, IIRC. (4 year lease)
