I'm no stranger to the web world, or forums... I was a member and leading poster on ZR2.com for several years... You can dig up old stories about my truck by searching keywords such as: Vandalized ZR2, ZR2 Shot with SHotgun, ZR2 Tires slashed Not fun

I'll try to find some pictures for you guys.

Anyway, I did have a question, does anyone have a write up on Lubing the windows?

Just pop off the door panel and spray everything really good?

Recommended Lube? Has anyone used an axel grease or something that isn't "Consumable" so it'll last longer.

Nope...

Broke a tie rod up in the hills... (remote, no one around) Locked it up, was gone for 4 hours. 12:00AM - 4:00AM (ish) and when I got back my truck was destroyed.

Every window broken, every tire slashed, mirrors broken, Rock through the sunroof and busted up dash. Shot gun blasts all around.

But they were nice enough to leave me a message on the tailgate "Chevy's suck"

And that was the end.

Thanks for the tips on the window, my new brackets shipped today so hopefully this weekend (probably first of next week) I'll be doing the repair/maintenance/modifications.

Then I'll probably hit up the local trailer fab shop about building me a Tone style hitch.

Either spray silicone, or dry graphite powder are the favorite flavors around here...any type of grease in an "open" environment, is gonna pick up dust & other contaminents, & compound the problem.
I like a product called "Jigaloo"...also I am about to try a "dry" lubricant I found in the local hardware, designed for sliding windows & patio doors.
Pop the panels & get into the tracks with a rag folded 2-4 layers thick on a butter knife or something to clean the accumulated gunk out of the channel before lubing.

x2.. i started using jigaloo because of sir dub.. i found that it actually slows my windows at first.. then after a few hours it works beautifully
