    revised shovel mount I'd also done a quick-n-dirty mounting on the shovel. The FR brackets are intended to be used on the side rails of the rack, but I figured out that I wanted the shovel alongside my jack. So I did a quick remount on the slats. Now that I have a bit more time to fiddle, I...

    More Front Runner goodness... First, I've remounted my SlimLine II rack using track mount feet from Front Runner. I originally went with the Yakima setup because I had it already and based on information available at the time, it was unknown if the FR feet would work with my setup. I only had...

    03 xterra lift

    Take a look at CalMini as well, they make a ton of good stuff for the Xterra --> http://www.calmini.com/model.php?b=1&m=1 I had an `02 Xterra SE/SC for 12 years. I bought the truck new and threw pretty much the entire CalMini catalog at it aside from their shocks (I ran Bilsteins) and transfer...

    The ZR2 has 3.5" wider track width than the standard Colorado and on paper, base solely on that dimension it would look to be "not a lot smaller" than most full-size trucks. However, parked right along side a CC Tundra (or other full-size truck), it's significantly smaller overall. The Cab and...

    I still have work to do on the truck but ran out of time to get it done before we went on a 10-day trip to field test the rig and new setup. Left home with about 900 miles on the clock and returned with just over 2600. I didn't log it exactly but guesstimate roughly 600 of that was dirt and will...

    Yep. It's too bad we can't trust people to just leave stuff alone that doesn't belong to them... It lived inside the Xterra along with the rest of my recovery gear and until I get a garage parking arrangement sorted out will only be on the truck when it's headed for the dirt. Likewise the rest...

    I was really geared up to buy a Tacoma before the ZR2 got my attention. Once I drove both the Tacoma and the Colorado a couple of times each, I was sold on the Colorado for a number of reasons. About the engine though, comparing an apple to an apple: Toyota V6/auto sv the Colorado V6/auto, the...

    I agree. I do believe they build a pretty good looking truck. Before I stumbled across the ZR2, the Colorado wasn't even on my radar and I'd never really considered a new Chevy. Once I did some real homework on the model and drove a couple of Colorados back to back against a Tacoma I really...

    Got the FrontRunner Slimline II rack assembled and installed today along with single jerry can and Hi-Lift mounts. The rack was went together really easy. The only trouble I had was with one corner that needed some love from a dead blow hammer to fully seat so the retaining screw would thread...

    Thanks guys! It's pretty awesome so far and was worth the wait to get it. I'm really happy with the drivetrain. The trans shifts well, feels tight and seems to work really well with the LGZ engine in this truck. I'm and old-school hot-rod guy and was concerned that going from the 5.7 V8 in...
