BISON GRILLE and 15,000 lumen LIGHT BAR install on my 2018 Chevy COLORADO!!

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

What do you guys think of the new mods? The truck is really coming along and it's been a BLAST modding it!

Your Colorado modifications look great! I love the red letters.They're awesome and should've come that way, imo. Damn, now I might have to get one simply to do that. :) And the light bar is perfect for those times I may find myself in some remote location out in the desert here. Not that it’s routine mind you, but rather just in case. And your tutorial was top notch. It’s honestly one of the best I’ve seen in some time since you covered everything from what I can tell. So if you ever find yourself out here with it let me know.

@@MattyKnox The biggest reason I didn't show it was because it would have been almost impossible to see what I was doing. Tiny screwdriver shoved into a tiny little space to pop a clip out. You really just have to work at it for a little while and you'll get it.

[@spacemanspiff559]

Hey man! I just finished this whole job and I just wanted to thank you for the awesome video! The instructions were outstanding, and your video close-ups made things very clear. It took me over half the day, but I'm done, and it looks amazing. I had to use an aftermarket Bison Grill because nobody has the OEM ones any more, but it turned out great. I'd just like to point out one thing that would be super helpful. I couldn't figure out how you got the wire from the light bar through the little hole in the vent because of the big connector. Since you de-pinned one of the connections, I thought maybe you took that screw on connection apart too. I tried and almost broke it! I don't think that part is supposed to come apart! Haha. I ended up taking the crash bar off again so that I could get the fat connector behind the vent. Everything was gravy after that. Okay, not quite everything. There's a little hole on the firewall grommet and I was like "oh cool, I can just use this!", but it's some sort of nipple or something, and I pushed it through to the inside. When I realized my mistake I went back and pushed it through the ridge like you said. It wasn't easy, but I got it through. The finished product looks amazing! I definitely would not have had the confidence to do this without your video. Thank you so much! Oh, just so you know, I bought the stuff from your links back in December, so hopefully you got some Amazon kick-back for that. You're the best and thanks again! Truly awesome videos you're making.

I really appreciate the kind words, my friend! Thank you!

Next mod is the Boost Auto tow mirrors. You can even get paintable mirrors with heated top and bottom. They are just like factory GM tow mirrors on the full size trucks.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

I'm not sure if I like the look of them on the smaller trucks...

[@jeremykamel9655]

HorsePower Obsessed I understand that. When I very first put mine in I wasn’t sure either. But after a day I decided I really like it. I decided that you buy a truck with a look in mind. And that as soon as you let yourself be a little flexible then it’ll change your mind. The view is way better with the spotting mirror. Then there are the lighting options. I did every option except switchback. Upper and lower heated, high power reverse spot with cargo light tie in. I did black and not painted and am happy with that. My truck is red also and I figure the back goes with my red and black theme as well. I have the baby max and love it. 2017 with 26,000 miles. Has a color match leer canopy. I took the faring (air dam) off the other day. What a significant improvement in look. Next is a leveling kit.

[@lapenesr]

Beautiful! Good job on the install. I'm really thinking about that light bar. Since my truck is the same color, I know exactly how it's going to look! I still like the old grill with the bowtie so I'm sticking with that for now. I got an AVS stick-on bug deflector and it made the truck look fantastic. Plus it deflects bugs. Who woulda thunk it. I just got new black rims with wider spokes so painting the brake calipers is now priority. Do a vid on that please!

[@spacemanspiff559]

It looks bad ass! I just got that light bar, and I was wondering WTF to do about the little vertical grill things. It's a shame they need to be cut. Did it feel like they were supporting the lower part of the bumper at all? Cutting them off had no negative side-effects? I'm wondering if sanding it down afterwards would make it look better or worse. Anyways, now I have to find a Bison Grille, which doesn't seem to be sold online anymore. Thanks for the video!

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Thanks! No, clipping those plastic parts wasn't a big deal, the bumper doesn't rely on them. If I had to guess they were added just to keep larger items from being able to get into the bumper through there. Real flimsy plastic.

There is definitely not any glue. They are tight on there but 2 small screwdrivers will do it. It took me about an hour and 1000% focus to get it done, but once you start getting 2 or 3 of them off they all get easier.

[@kferg]

@@HorsePowerObsessed thanks. got it figured out before you replied with sheer determination. Ended up having to pretty much destroy the two clips in the middle. They were too small for my screwdrivers. What I did: Start at one side. Once those two larger clips are freed, slide in a wooden wedge. Move down the bottom, making sure the wedge stays in place and push the wedge in further (keeping it at the side of grill) to keep pressure. Once halfway across, use another wedge and start working from the opposite side. Then free the upper clips. I hope this helps others, as I see a lot of questions regarding this. Thanks

HorsePower Obsessed thank you so much! That worked. Don’t know why I didn’t think of that!

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

No problem! I'm happy to help!

[@eastonjackson6447]

How do you de pin a connector like you did?

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

A tiny screwdriver will allow you to push the pin in to allow it to slide out of the connector.

[@Coleburgess09]

Damn it i really wish I would have thought about that with my flares because I’m itching for that grille. How much of a bitch do you think it would be to remove that 3m tape

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

That stuff was on there pretty good past that front bumper line. I'd say it's gonna be tough but as long as you have stuff to replace it with it shouldn't be too bad.

[@andreavillalobos8675]

Going to the link for the grill, it takes me to a 2019 Colorado... No issues? (Obviously no issues based on the video) ..You have a 2018 correct? I'm wondering if it'll fit my 2017.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

I know you already got the answer to this but I'm going to answer it anyway just so other people can see it. This grille will fit any Colorado 2015-2019. 👍

[@srstmss37]

Is there one for a 2022 Z71? Seems the one you installed is slightly different.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

What are you looking for specifically? The grill?

[@rslayback89]

Did you have to remove the tires or was that just so you could have more room to work?

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Just more room. You could do it without removing the wheels.

[@javierabascal2367]

That truck is looking amazing! Is a New lift coming?

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

The next video is going to have more to do with a full level kit and stopping the tires from rubbing. I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet regarding a full lift.

Thanks. They were the stock fender flares that seem to be very hard to find nowadays.

Which direction do you push the grill tabs to separate the portions of the grill to paint the Chevrolet letters?

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Up and away. It's pretty obvious once you look at them.

[@steveday8881]

@@HorsePowerObsessed I have eight screw drivers, numerous nails to assist as screw drivers, and I still can't get the bottom portion to break free. Most of the top is free, but the bottom corners are still not breaking free. My hands are cutup and raw, and I pull until I think the dang thing is going to snap, and not in an area that is meant to break.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

It's not really difficult but it is time consuming. It took me about an hour to get the thing apart. There are a lot of clips on the top, bottom and in the middle around the lettering. Are you close to PA by chance? I'll give you a hand if you are.

[@steveday8881]

I finally got it, but it definitely is not for the faint-hearted. I thought I was going to break it.

Thank you! I sure did address that issue. The next video coming out will go over the fix! 😁👍

Nope. They fit. 👍👍

Your truck looks great!! I'm buying a Colorado here in Australia, but they are RHD, badged as a Holden and built in Thailand. I'm hoping the grille will interchange as I want to badge mine as a Chevy. The Holden look is a bit weak (check out 'Holden Colorado' on Google). The Bison grille looks real tough. Fingers crossed!

Thank you! I'm not sure if that grille is going to fit, it looks like a different shape to me...

Those switches are very hard to get right now because they have been out of stock for months going on years. If they ever come back you can grab one here: bit.ly/2RGA8vM

Yeah but the clips....very very difficult to get off to separate the two pieces of the grill prior to painting. What's the trick? I'm at a crossroads....nearly impossible task. Help!! FYI I've been a mechanic for 15 years!! Lol

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

They were definitely difficult and it took me about an hour to separate all of them. 2 tiny flat head screwdrivers are going to be your secret weapon here but even then it won't be easy. Time/patience.

Were your fender flares not stuck to the front bumper with adhesive? I just installed fenders which had adhesive tape sticking them to the front bumper and now I want to change my grill. Any advise?

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

I added mine myself and when I did, I purposely didn't stick the adhesive on the front bumper knowing I was going to need into it later. If it's stock, it will be stuck all the way around. Some heat will help get it removed.

[@FocusWithJason]

@@HorsePowerObsessed awesome thanks so much for the advise, did you restick yours or just use the screws? If you only used screws then are there any gaps?

Just screws from the bumper line forward. I've already had it off twice since then so I don't want to restick it at all.

Does the light bar whistle while driving?
