Colorado Diesel 4x4 Long Travel build

Awesome build, I'd love to see if the fenders would fit my ZR2 without fiddling with the stock suspension, apart from wheel spacers (until i can afford wheels with less backspacing) and larger tires. How was the install? Would you mind sharing how much the paint job ran you? This seems to be an amazing option without tearing apart the ZR2 suspension I paid for...especially since its 2" higher and 3" wider than a stock Z71 already!

Nice rig. Wasn't sure if I was going to like the fenders, but with them painted, it looks really good.

They will fit the ZR2, just need to come up with a solution for the bumper cap portion (the factory bumper will be a little narrower in that location I would think). Paint job I did at my dad's paint and body shop, for the front and rear fenders I would expect to pay somewhere around 2000.

Welcome.

Forgive me for saying this, but what is so special about the LS engines?

Seems they are swapped into every possible vehicle these days (no disrespect, I love the 300ZX as a plattform)

As for the Colorado, is that a midsize or a fullsize truck?

LS motors are reliable and capable of big power while maintaining said reliability, the colorado is a midsize truck. nearly identical in size to the tacoma

They're cheap, they can make big power in stock form. (a bone stock 4.8l made 1200-1300hp after is was picked from a junk yard history unknown. https://www.google.ca/amp/www.hotrod.com/articles/hrdp-1109-stock-gm-ls-engine-big-bang-theory/amp/ ) You can get parts for them every where and they come from as small as 4.8l to as large as 7l in stock form and any where from 275hp to well over 600hp, they do this while still maintaining reasonable fuel mileage. And they are dimensionally very compact which allows them to fit in pretty much everything.
