I never put a ski on mine, a fresh set of tires usually did the trick.

I have dust to glory, it rocks. I bought it for the bike racers, but the whole deal was awesome.

You ever watch any African rallies?

I am ashamed to admit that I still have not cleaned it and just have a disconnected hose dangling there. Man does time fly. :oops:

I am heavily considering the idea of selling my ZR5 wheels and getting 5 steels plus some cash. I am more into utility and function than looks.

Where to get 15x7 steel wheel?

The kelly tires I had were pitiful, I bought 5 in all, what with random sidewall punctures and the magnetic belts these things must have that pick up any metal object within 6 feet of the truck. Anyway, I managed to wear out a donut spare during the whole debacle. I just got new Firestone Destinatio...

So, the chart on that page is wrong about offset then. It shows a 7" wheel with 6" backspacing having a 51mm offset, unless I am reading it wrong.

I found a new one on ebay for less than $40 shipped. I had to modify the license plate part to fit the duct for the radiator, but it looks great.

I flushed it several times on an open systems, running till the thermostat opened and repeating till only clear water ran out. I then used the prestone (I think, yellow bottle?) flush fluid and got a lot of brown gunk out. I ran clear water again for a bit and flushed that and then added green. The ...

Rear axle/diff bearings and seals

Just exactly how hard is it to replace all the bearings and seals in he rear end? For reference to my skillset, I was able to install new front wheel bearings and axles myself, and have rebuilt 2 stroke dirtbike engines. Is this something tha tis fairly doable with a decent shop and tools? Any speci...

Well, it seems it didn't really fix the overflow issue. I have narroed it down to the narrow filler neck. There is a short period of time between when the auto shutoff is tripped and when the pump stops completely. During this time, a small volume of fuel is expelled from the hose. Due to the small ...

Blocked tank vent; evap canister causing overflow at filler?

Hey, new guy here. I have a 2004 ZR5 which, as of two days ago, started taking gas from the pump in sips. The auto shutoff on the pump would activate after 30-50 cents worth of gas was pumped. I figured it was a venting problem, but I decided to search this forum to see if it was a common problem an...
