Finding the weaknesses on the Chevy/AEV ZR2 Bison. Not to many, but the issues it does have you feel through the steering… one issue to come up is the sway bar endlinks, the bushings shrink and get hard and the factory spacer sleeves are a split tube which begins to spread and you can’t tighten them any further to get rid of the clunking you’ll develop out on the trail. LevelUp Suspension to the rescue with these taller endlinks, with a billet aluminum spacer and poly bushings⚡️ . Be sure to grease the bushings and the long bolt. The inside of the spacer is raw aluminum and could have a galvanic reaction to the steel bolt. A light coat of grease will keep the corrosion away and make it easy to service in the future.

Birchbury Bramford . To remove dirt/dust use a boar bristle brush. Use a saddle soap of your choice with an old brush. Lather a section, don’t saturate with water, wipe dry with a cloth in sections to lower drying time. Try to remove all soap residue, reinstall shoe trees and let it air dry. This is a good time to clean up any loose or fraying threads, lightly heat and press flat. For oiled leather, use an oil conditioner of your choice. Apply in circular motions and let it soak for 15-40 minutes. Buff off with a cloth and/or a horse hair brush. Lightly apply a sealer/wax of your choice. Don’t over do the wax layer other wise you’ll get crusting and a haze. Let the wax sit for 5-15 minutes. Buff off with horse hair brush.

This is my general toolbox I carry around for working on guns. . Need to add 3/8” drive breaker bar and a strap wrench. . Supplemental items to this; full bit kit, drill, impact, vice, dremel and I’m sure I’m forgetting a couple things.

Doing something a little different on this post. Typically people show their shooting. I forgot the camera was rolling and caught one of the side conversations between Steve and I. Thought it would be cool to show some of the conversations that happen before and after a drill. It’s good to train with people that are able to see and communicate what is happening. I’m working on the communication part.

Don’t know what mount to get for your scope? Some math and a measuring tape will get you there.
