Torq_Shep Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Just picked this up yesterday. Not sure exactly what I am going to do with it yet but I am going to sell my van and keep this for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torq_Shep Posted May 25, 2021 Author Share Posted May 25, 2021 And I have dropped entirely too much money on it already... First thing I did was fix some rear end damage. It had been rear ended with a hitch installed. Hitch was bent and that bent the bumper core support also. Luckily the Z71 color matched bumper cover was okay so I bought a junkyard bumper and hitch and put the Z71 cover on it. New hatch struts Pulled the front carpet, pressure washed it, and dyed it gray with that duplicolor spray stuff. It is passable for a commuter vehicle. Much better than faded and stained tan carpet. Fixed the power mirrors by pulling the switch and polishing the contacts Bought a new drivers seat base. Had to repair the metal frame. Installed universal seat heater pads on drivers side. Have to decide if I want to use the barely adequate wiring harness that came with the kit still. Bought a new radio and speakers Bought remote start kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89 MJ Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 These Z71s are neat rigs. Factory 17" wheels, 2" lift, 3.73 gears, locking rear end, plus the different roof rack and the different bumpers and chin spoiler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
