Colorado - Level Kit ,LEDs, GRILL Part 4

[@Drummer1570]

The steps in the rear bumper were most certainly not an after thought. For those who actually use their trucks as trucks, that rear bumper step is super helpful and probably one of the best designed bumpers in the truck market. Super easy to hop up and get into the bed of your truck....

[@LHTPerformance]

I’m sure it’s pretty helpful if you’re short. I don’t like the look at all and changed it on my GMC also. I use the truck as a truck and fill the bed but still keep the truck nice. I don’t like the steps.

[@LHTPerformance]

@@DisgustedGenXr If I don’t like it, illl change it. There’s a lot of small details that improve the overall appearance of a build. I bet you hate the idea of the V8 huh 😂😂

[@JoeHynes284]

looks amazing! I love your fix for the bumber

[@eldorado5686]

That grill. Loads better. Watched the vid while sitting in my Ap2 waiting for my daughter to come out of work...

[@LHTPerformance]

Eldo Rado Thanks for watching. You have good taste in cars.

[@NGAAutoTV]

Nice wheel/tire setup!

[@LHTPerformance]

I’m super happy with it.

[@thomashardwick673]

Looks good for the z71. I got the 2020 zr2 same color. Like the head lights

[@SleeperCalais]

That engine seems like it would be plenty strong for the truck size. 308hp is pretty good for a 3.6L! I like watching the process of adding your personal touches to all your vehicles. Gotta make it your own!

[@seminole715]

Man, I am loving the build so far, love the grill! I wonder if that grill would fit on my 2015. I have watched other videos that the grill fit on a 2016. from 2015 to 2020 really don't look like they have changed that much. Thank you for the video, looking forward to the rest of the build.

[@LHTPerformance]

I’m not sure if the 2015 is different from the 2016. Check to see if the headlights are the same.

[@tmango78]

I started watching because of the S2000 videos, but I’m really enjoying these videos too! Love your attention to detail.

[@catric69]

More Colorado content. YEAH!

[@LHTPerformance]

I’m really enjoying the truck. Glad you like the content.

Can you send a link for the rear bumper step replacement I didn't know this existed and looks 10 times better

[@kevinvoyer5053]

Hello there, first time visit, so I did subscribe. How do you like the Colorado? I can honestly say I like mine. I’m on my second Colorado, the first was a 2016 Z71,4x4, Ext Cab, that we traded for 2 reasons, one it was a lease, second we both retired from mass.to Florida and needed only one vehicle, so a CrewCab was needed. So we traded the Z71 in on a 2019 WT4x4, V6. The only things I miss from the Z71, are the projector headlights and Bose system. But in Florida we don’t need heated seats, so we decided to save the $4,000 difference in price. So I bought, not leased the “loaded” WT, that came with 16” alloy wheels, that will actually be better off road with taller sidewalls. Plus bright trim under the side windows and color coded bumpers and door handles, all white, mostly due to the sun in Florida, plus dark tinted rear an side windows for the same reason. We also use the truck for towing a travel trailer, a 2020 Grey Wolf 24JS, that can get as heavy as 5,600 lbs, but as light as 4,800 lbs. so the factory tow package was necessary, that get the G80 auto lock differential like the Z71, hitch, tow/haul mode and trailer brake controller. But most importantly the very good 7” touch screen with Apple Car Play, plus OnStar 4 G LTE WIFI! That’s not available on any other mid sized truck under 40-50k! I also had the dealer install all the performance skid plates the Bison gets. Plus an 84 month 100,000 miles Bumper to Bumper Warranty. All for an out the door price of just over 33k! Then I had Bilstein 5100 adj ride hight front struts installed on the 1.9” lift ring, that uses the stock spring, but not only lifts/levels, but adds 2” of suspension travel! Plus the same 5100 shocks in the rear, along with Firestone airbags, that with the liger shocks will also help add travel in the rear. I will get a few more miles out of the stock Wranglers, before I change over to the DuraTrac tires in 265/75-16, that will be about 2” taller. I’ll be ready for some off road and still be able to tow with ease. Good luck have fun and stay safe and healthy!

[@LHTPerformance]

Kevin Voyer I still love the truck, there is a few small things I change to make it where it needs to be. One big thing are the headlights. Change your headlights to the ultra GTR LED headlights, that made a huge difference. It sounds like you have the height and looks of the truck the way you want it, the leveling made a big difference for me. I also love the large screen and the tech, one thing about it is it just works perfect, every time. As cool as the NSX Was, the tech sucked. It was a chore making it do anything

[@kevinvoyer5053]

@@LHTPerformance Yea I’ve been looking into LED replacement for my crummy hologen bulbs, but the WT has regular old fashioned reflector style headlights, I’ve read some LED’s don’t work well with that type an HID works better. But the big issue is no one has ever videotaped what the difference is! There are some like yours that cover the projector type low beams like the Z71 comes with. That’s really the only shortcoming in the truck. Plus there’s the whole crazy part about having to remove half the front of the truck to change the headlights! I could have swapped them with the leased Ext Cab I had, that wasn’t picked up to two weeks after we bought the crew cab! What a ridiculous design! The 2005 Avalanche I owned it took 20 seconds to remove the entire headlight pods! Without tools!

[@wayneb251]

The tinted headlight mod is subtle but massively effective - pity motor manufacturers don't get the importance of the small details. Takes a guy from the UK improving the looks of this pickup 👍

[@stevem4582]

Hey Jon, looks great! I did want to mention an issue I had that you may have after installing LED tail lights/blinkers. When you brake, is there a big noticeable difference between the tail lights and brake lights? Mine you could hardly tell. Just looking out, safety first!

[@LHTPerformance]

Steve M Yes. That’s something I’ve noticed. Tail lights are a little over bright. Once I come up with a solution I’ll talk about it. As much as some ‘couch engineers’ like to comment and offer no information, I’ll share my findings.

[@PizzaCologne3]

How are the GTR lightings ultra holding up? Looking to get some for my 2015 Colorado

[@jacoblee3427]

Thank you for the videos and ideas! I have a quick question! Did you just have a shop to paint your wheels? If so then, did you went to a local car paint shop or any specific shop? I live in the country and we don’t have a shop that specifically paint wheels. And how much should did they cost about? Hope it isn’t too long to read!

[@LHTPerformance]

I had them powder coated by AB Powder coating. I think they charge $425-$450 depending on size for a set of wheels.

[@jacoblee3427]

[@bobkrakovich1851]

Good morning LHT Performance, It's funny I came across this video. Tomorrow I am having my 2021 GMC Canyon Elevation Crew Cab's front end leveled 2" with that same kit from ReadyLift. Bringing it to a performance shop here in Connecticut where it will be leveled. My rake difference on the Canyon is 35" front and 36 1/2" rear. So the 2" will have the front end just a bit higher, not noticeable we figure. I'm wondering what your opinion of 2" wheel spacers is. Again doing this just for looks. Hi from Bob in Connecticut

[@LHTPerformance]

Bob Krakovich Hi buddy. I haven’t done any spacers yet. I have a few projects going on at once right now. The Colorado is my daily right now, next step is the V8 swap.

[@superman1251]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@Jaydogg209]

For the front blinkers I use the Lasfit switchback bulbs with built in resistors. They stay white until you turn on your blinkers then they turn yellow.

[@LHTPerformance]

I have those in my Corvette and I love them.

[@cway444]

Do you have a part # for those

[@UncleDonDon]

I've said it for years.....it's amazing what a level stance with wheels and tires will do for a truck. I did the same on my Silverado. Why, oh why do they refuse to do this at the factory?

[@JoeHynes284]

i have an 01, it helps me off road, though i have still gone through 7 fog lights...

[@momoneyhabits]

Just bought this same level. Got a deal for $100! How's it holding up for you?

[@evilf23]

The orange peel on the wheels after powder coating is disappointing. Surprised you accepted that. Did they media blast them first? Love the look and your channel, but I work with powder coating so I'm quick to nitpick.

[@austinbaker5498]

everything is blasted, epoxy primerd and color coated, chevy wheels these days have extreme casting to them these days and not as smooth as a vette wheel or camaro wheel, the truck wheels are heavy and rough

[@microsvc]

Can you post the part numbers for the rear step fix? I didn't know such a thing existed.

[@squatchy_J]

With a 2" level, what size tires can you get away with (on the Colorado)? and how much offset? Any idea? How about with the fender wall modified by an inch an a half?

[@LHTPerformance]

Most of the companies that sell the level and lift kits have those specs. I know I could go up another size on my tires and go upto a 2” spacer also.

[@squatchy_J]

@@LHTPerformance Yeah, I know....but i'm getting mixed messages from companies....I think I'll drop the tire size to 265/65/17, to be safe.

[@LHTPerformance]

@@squatchy_J That’s the tire size I have and no running. I was going to space the wheels out, but the problem will be more road grime on the truck.

[@sgtrickards5683]

What is the slot used for that's located over the headlight knob?

[@LHTPerformance]

I have no clue. It’s large enough to put a business card in about 3/4 of the way. Kinda goofy 🙃

[@mrcrxsi69]

Titanium Intake pipe??? Would make for some cool content and maybe provide some nice engine noises... Even if you're not really opening the hood. 😎

Isn't the rake there to counteract the squat when the bed is loaded?

David Shea Nut I don’t load the bed. 99% of the time it has nothing in it.

Yes. It looks like crap. Hopefully I don’t have to go under the hood much.

[@canada-extreme-activities]

HI, why did you changed your Oil at 850 miles ?

[@LHTPerformance]

First oil change helps remove material from components breaking in. I usually do a 1000 Miles for the first change.

[@alexram7957]

you changed the oil filter the super long way, you can do it from above without removing anything

Honesty you screwed up taking the bumper step, obviously it's a like and dislike thing, but you just wasted your money ina cheap way. And other bad thing it's changing the grill for that ugly one with ugly with name Chevrolet. I would go with a black emblem and is it. The wheels and leveling was probably the best aftermarket modified thing you did

[@LHTPerformance]

Wait while you see how much I wasted putting in the V8. lol

[@wowsplat]

That sucks, you should have bought a ridgeline......

I tow 6500lbs. The Ridgeline would never handle. I did look at one and test drive it.

The Honda Ridgeline is not a truck. It is the illegitimate lovechild of a Toyota Prius and an El Camino.

Sun I actually like the ridgeline, for someone that needs a light duty thick with car like feel, it really is good. It just have the ability and the look I planned.
