After some delay, here's my build thread. I've owned my Summit White ZR2 since August, but just finally got to drive it full time this weekend. I flew back to the homeland in Maine, went to the garage for a wash and wax session, slapped a few things on including the BMS can(I tried to follow the thread on making the bracket but it was too long so a little fab job got it done and mounted near the firewall), tonneau, and some stickers, and jumped in for a 26 hour ride to Florida with the girlfriend. Phew straight through was rough, but the truck performed well. It rolled over the 2k mile mark just before making it to the apartment. I drove it aggressively, for the "break in" and to ensure she knew how she would be rode in the future. Mostly interstate obviously on the way down, but dropping it a gear or 2 at times, and lettinf her rev up when slowing down. I averaged 23mpg, which I'm thinking could have been 25ish if i was nice. Surprisingly feel great and i thought it was comfy as could be for that amount of time. Anyways, I bought a bunch of stuff for it in the time we were apart, thanks to all the forum members for being the guinea pigs and throwing out ideas. I posted in the newb section awhile back with my list of gifts to my favorite girl but here they are for those who are too lazy to lol it up..
-First was a full undercoat at a local dealership, New England winters suck!
-30" Rough country curved LED bar for the front bumper utilizing a OEM fog light switch (this weekend)
-Tacoma Pros LEDs for the grille (also this weekend)
-BMS Catch Can
-Skid Hitch (Thanks to @ KMW)
-Gator Tri-fold bed cover
-Hikari Hi/Lo beam LEDs (waiting for some run time on the stocks)
-Pedal Commander (Chris at GotExhaust was great and gave the best deal possible)
-Stickers and emblems (thank you @G2SKIER)
Things Im looking to install shortly, or when some more money comes in:
-Rough Country 1" leveling kit, with accompanying bump stops to protect that DSSV suspension
-1" wheel spacers (maybe..)
-Front/Sunshield Tint
-Spare tire delete from the undercarriage to ??
-More LEDs (reverse lights, interiors)
Looks like in between some installs, I'm going to Ocala National Forest this weekend with a coworker who has a lifted Rubicon. Can't wait for some hooligan **** and maybe the chance to try out the lockers again? This will be my first time exploring there so we will see. Pictures to come!
