Chevy has shown two hot Colorado ZR2 concepts at this year's SEMA show in Las Vegas. The first is the AEV Concept shown at the top of page. The AEV starts off with a new suspension setup including high-angle ball joints and increased stiffness high-angle tie rods. The truck also adds front and rear jounce shocks and a long-travel rear leaf-spring suspension. The differential gets a cover as part of the full underbody protection kit.

 

The ZR2 AEV also gets custom wheels and tires, a winch kit, recovery hooks, and rocks a snorkel. In back, Chevy added a refrigerator cooler and there is an air pump and more substantial jack and tire kit. Check out the video for a walk-around on this off-roader.

Badass

Wow.  I would downsize to that, but I bet it'd be so expensive that doing the modifications myself to my rig would be cheaper.

I don't hate the full Chevrolet on the front end.

Trying to copy the raptor with the chevy on the front. Not that its bad.

Like this version a lot, highly modified, big bucks I'm sure...

The front bumper and snorkel look a lot like options on the Australian version, which is the Holden Colorado. I was checking it out last night to kill some time, they have some pretty cool factory options down there.
