Many die-hard truck fans and customers here at the
Mid-Missouri Powerhouse,
as well as a majority of our staff members, would agree on a few various
qualities about the Chevy Colorado ZR2. For starters, it is most definitely one
of the coolest trucks you can buy for off-roading adventure hauls, but the DSSV
suspension also makes it a great choice for daily driving. When the Bison was
released, many Powerhouse customers were righteously thrilled, as the
adventure-focused experts at AEV set their sights on the ZR2 to make it a
tried-and-true boss of all things trail related. Anyone who is a true truck
expert knows that customization and part add-on are key when building your dream
machine, and the fun really begins during this selection process.
If you are looking to transform the ZR2 into more
of a desert-racing contender, the good news is that Chevy now totally has you
covered. Plans were just announced to offer a line of 15 factory race
components that were originally developed for Chad Hall's race truck. During
the past two years, Hall's was the truck that completed every single race in
the “Best of the Desert” series, and pre-ran during the Baja 1000. That means
that these parts have been tested through more than 10,000 miles of extreme
off-road racing, and since the success of the ZR2, customers have been clogging
email in mass numbers asking Chad for his personal touch and help while
building their own ZR2.
It's wildly exciting to us that you can buy the
same Chevy Performance Parts that snagged the all-important jaunt to victory in
the desert, and after you add required safety equipment, you can build a
pre-runner for Baja 1000 scouting, or a full-blown race truck with
massive capability. The first integral part in the process is the 1.5-inch body
lift, allowing for clearance of the many various elements that make their
presence immediately known as soon as you make the choice to veer off the “road
frequently traveled.” This group offering also consists of long-travel shocks,
long-travel leaf springs, as well as an anti-wrap link system.
The ZR2 Front Jounce Shock System was designed
specifically for newer ZR2 models, and consists of a nitrogen-charged hydraulic
secondary suspension bump shock, intended for off-road use. It works overtime
to greatly enhance gross vehicle motion control, increase suspension bump
capacity, and provide extra muscle in the battle against bottoming out during
extreme off-road conditions.
The Chevy Performance
ZR2 Cross Car Beam System helps during the job of counteracting the loads from
the ZR2 Rear Jounce Shock System by creating a strong structural beam across
the frame. The Performance ZR2 Anti-Wrap Link System helps prevent axle wrap
under acceleration, braking, and improves suspension control during extreme
off-road conditions. To check out the complete list of parts that can complete
the task of making your ZR2 ready for mass regions of challenges and
heart-pounding adventure, go Here, and begin to plan your New Year's off-road excursion of
mayhem!
