I don't own a ZR2, nor do I plan on owning one, but this video was very fun to watch and the end result looks great. nicely done gentlemen! I'll admit, I thought the ZR2 came from factory with the clearance to run 35's but boy was I wrong.
@JasonExplainsThings Жыл бұрын
HA! Yeah, probably 32's are as big as you could go without cutting. This project was one of the more intense ones. It was shot over 4 days... and the last one being a marathon 9 am to 1:30 am the next day.

Great Videos , I feel like I’m just steps behind you and truly appreciate the details you include in these videos. Can’t wait to see the fuel lose and the rehearing and what that does for it. Biggest hold up for me was that part. Was thinking of the high fenders but just jumping up to 33’ and not fully the 35s. Again great videos keep up the great stuff guys

I know Chris considered 33’s as well. Yeah the regear video is coming along nicely. Will be done either Sunday or Monday.

@@JasonExplainsThings a few questions, 1 - what size tires are on your Tacoma ( it looks awesome ). 2 - what made him go with 35s over 33s . 3 - would you think 33s look to small or out of place with the high mark fenders installed ? And 4- you feel re-gearing would be needed if he did 33s ? Again love the Chanel and all the content thank you 🙏🏼 ( oh and lastly , you don’t happen to be of ambassador for AEV products 😏 )
@PNW_Bison Жыл бұрын
@@4Primalbreed Jason's busy editing, most likely, so I'll answer for him 😊. I believe he's running 32" tires on the Tacoma (help me convince him to go 33s or bigger!). I made the jump to 35s straight away, mainly because I knew I wanted to eventually, figured I'd seize the day, lol. I've seen one Bison on 33s with Highmarks, and no, I don't think it looks too small, my main reason for going bigger was chasing ground clearance without adding a lift. And as a benefit, regearing is not nearly as necessary with 33s! Cheers and thanks for watching! (No we're not ambassadors, per say, just love the stuff and have made some great friends over there, make sure and tell 'em we sent ya!)
