Never get tired of a ZR2 set up properly 🔥🔧

This one rolled through the workshop for a practical touring and towing package while keeping the clean factory look that makes the ZR2 such a good platform.

🔧 What went into the build:

🎒 Airbag Man raised airbags for improved load support

🧱 Offroad Creative ZR2 front bar
🟡 Hoop with relocation bracket
💡 Stedi Type-X EVO Rally Pack driving lights
⚫ Black texture finish

📡 GME XRS UHF setup
📍 Bonnet mounted antenna bracket
📶 Cel-Fi GO aerial mounted to the rear passenger side of the tub
🔧 Custom rear mounting solution for a neat install

🔌 12V outlets fitted throughout the vehicle:
⚡ Cig socket and Merritt plug in the rear seat area
⚡ Anderson plug at the towbar
⚡ Anderson plug, Cig socket and Merritt plug in the tub

📹 Hardwired dash cam installation

The end result is a ZR2 that's ready for towing, touring and plenty of kilometres off the beaten track, while still looking clean enough to turn heads wherever it goes. 🔥🇦🇺

What’s your favourite part of this build — the Offroad Creative bar, the Stedi rally lights, or the tidy touring setup? 👇🏻🔧

We were lucky enough to have Jason from J-Jet Automotive's Ram 1500 Bighorn roll into the CTO workshop ready for a proper upgrade — nothing over the top, just the right gear to improve ride, load carrying and everyday usability.

Dialled in ride quality with better control on-road and off it.

⬆️ Raised Rear Springs
Extra support in the back to handle load without sagging.

📜 GVM Upgrade (Certified)
Upgraded to 3860kg GVM
Front axle upgraded to 1860kg

🛞 Full Wheel Alignment + Road Test

Better stance, improved comfort, more usable payload and ready for touring, towing or daily duties without compromise 🔥

That’s how we like to set up a Bighorn.

A lot of people don’t realise how closely we work with GMSV dealers across the state 🔧🇦🇺

We’ve got a solid network of dealerships we trust, and we regularly support them with:
📜 GVM upgrades
🛠️ Suspension packages
🎒 Load support
💡 Lighting + touring accessories
🔋 12V setups

It’s a good setup for everyone — dealers can deliver a better, more capable truck, and customers get a Silverado that’s actually ready to tow, tour and work from day one.

And if you’re looking at buying a new Chev but not sure where to start, we’ll happily point you in the direction of the dealers we know will look after you properly.

Same goal every time: get you into the right truck, with the right setup, done right. 🔧🔥🇦🇺

Under-seat battery box done properly. 🔧⚡

We designed this one in-house for the Silverado platform because we were sick of seeing messy installs and dodgy mounts.

✅ Suits Chev 1500 + 2500
✅ Hidden hardware — clean finish, no Meccano set look
✅ Mounts to existing factory points (no butchering the cab)
✅ Designed by us, manufactured locally 🇦🇺
✅ Still retains jack + spare wheel tool locations
✅ Pre-drilled to suit all the Victron goodies

Perfect base for dual battery setups, accessories and touring power — without losing practicality.
