I was originally thinking 96-98 silverado 1500. My friend thinks I should get an s-10 because they are much more durable.

I think this is a good idea!! Smaller truck, better for a first time 4x4er (especially for trails), better mileage becasue its lighter, easier to park when in the city. The whole truck is small, but he said he fit 3 dirtbikes in a bed, so that should be enough for a bunch of mountain bikes.

I would get an extended cab with a v8. I don't know much about these and want to look into them as I think I would be better off with this.

-for mods:
I think 33's with a american racing mojave teflons would be nice. I like rancho lifts, how are they on an s-10 and which size would i need for 33's.

Here's a couple pics of my S10. It's a 1989 ext. cab 4x4 with a 305 with fuel injection, rebuilt 700R4 trans. It has a Trail Master 4" suspension lift and a 3" body lift with 33x12.50x15 swamper TSL tires. I have a set of radial mud terrain to put on soon. The swampers howle to much for me. Well I hope this helps. Jason

Thanks, but im not getting anything now. I'm just thinking about/figuring out what I want. What is the biggest tires a zr2 will clear w/o rubbing?

I don't know about the years and what they did. Is it the same as the silverados?

I think the zr2's come with 30"? -am I right?

I have 31's on mine and I wouldn't run any bigger without lifting. I've never wheeled it so I can't tell you about rubbing.
