Putting 34’s on the New GMC Canyon…. Overland Build Part 1

This video is uploaded as a test. KZbin has been suppressing this channel, so for the next few videos they will get uploaded here, as well as the new outdoor channel - Trail Therapy. / @trailtherapynash
Welcome to Trail Therapy! In this video we begin the overloading build on my 2023 GMC Canyon AT4 with wheels and tires. I went with the Method Race Wheels 703, featuring their bead grip technology, in a 17x9 -12. paired with Nitto Ridge Grapplers in 285/75/R17, or 34 inches. It definitely didn't go as planned and I had to do a lot of trimming. Next up, rock sliders / running boards, and a lift kit. Subscribe to follow along for the build!

Finally, someone building a canyon! I ordered a 24 at4 and have been looking for someone building theirs out

[@Meddy6392]

Picked up a 24 at4x. Truck has been awesome. So far have thrown on an RCI hd 12' bed rack and a thule roof top tent. Recommend that rack if you are looking for one to put on the at4. Went with the drill-less option and used RCI's clamps. Have to see if there is enough room behind the front bumper to fit a wrench or wait for someone to come out with a bumper. Worst part is with the new gen of canyons, very little aftermarket options and stuck fabbing things

[@BobLaLoutre]

Do you have pictures of your truck, looking to get one but don’t have too much to compare

[@jimmycline4778]

I have a Colorado Trail Boss, now I want to do this after I get another 2 inch lift,,,but your truck is the best looking Canyon or Colorado I’ve seen yet on You Tube, blues my favorite color, but got mine that metallic gray to match my Bullet bass boat! I did Lyft with my Corolla to pay my truck off in 5 months, I’m now waiting for my title, only got 2k miles on it!

[@ltgutie11]

Damn that truck is sexy. Crazy how a set of wheels and tires can do to a vehicle. Keep the updates coming 🤘🏼

[@jimmycline4778]

It looks perfect! Only thing those bigger tires are gonna take some of its quickness away!

[@ltgutie11]

@@jimmycline4778 this is just me tho. I have an STI and I honestly prefer looks rather than speed. I’m happy with how fast she can go and do. Plus she’s my daily so I don’t want her breaking down constantly

[@jimmycline4778]

@@ltgutie11I know but I hate wasting the 310hp and I did get the 430# torque calibration so I kinda want both, GM suppose to have a cold air intake soon, I want that too!

[@bryanwillmert]

The AT4 Looks amazing. I love those Method wheels!

[@BensCanyonAT4]

Got my 24 AT4 2 weeks ago and looking to do the same with mine! Will be following along, great video man!

[@Baruch-Hashem]

Looking Good !

[@ColtDaniel]

Thanks!!

[@harolddenton6031]

Those matte black colored method wheels look great. I have a 2024 zr2 in that unique harvest bronze metallic color. Debating what color of method rims to put on my truck. I like bronnze or gold,but think these matte black colored rims would slso look good on my truck. I also like black rhino rims.

[@onsightwoodworks]

Looking good 🤙🏽 just got the same truck last night, and we are excited to build as well 🤘🏽

[@tonyd9223]

I put 18x9 -12 offset as well vision korupt gloss black with machined face and wrapped some BFGoodrich Trail terrains 275/65 R18 on my fathers 23 GMC canyon elevation. Sticks out atleast 1.5 inches past fender wells. Looks AMAZING

[@h2beezy2]

trim to win, no regrets

[@Dusdaddy]

Nice looking truck! Well done. Funny about the TPMS. I have a 2011 Ram and thye have always self-programmed. They do it twice a year when I swap my snows on and off. I was not aware there were any vehicles that did not self program anymore....lol Somebody told me it's the ones that use 433mhz sensors.

[@travisthompson2287]

Looks great. I'm actually surprised you didn't have to add at least an inch to even get 34's on. Expected a lot more carving. I know they still rub but at least it drivable.

[@xZeanu]

I have 275/55r20’s and they ever so slightly rub onto my sway bar before they even hit the fender. Waiting on a lift kit for anything bigger

[@jimmycline4778]

I came back to this video, do you think a 2 inch more lift,,,,these tires and wheels will fit on my Colorado TB? WITHOUT CUTTING? Man this truck looks nice! I did get the 430# torque calibration but did you lose the quickness of your truck putting these big tires on?

[@TheLostSquadron]

Super helpful info, and truck looks great! I have a 23 Trail Boss in Glacier Blue that I'm about ready ro start modding. Regarding tire weight: When I put 35's on my lifted Wrangler, I also wanted to go light. The Nittos were all pretty heavy! Goodyear Duratrac were the lightest tires I could find, but that comes at the expense of a thinner sidewall. Sub'd to follow along on your build 🍻

[@IrvingMagik]

Do you think 285/70R18 would fit this truck wit ah +1 offset wheel? A 285/70 is 33.7” and with more offset than the ones you went with might not rub at all??

[@BadlandIndustries]

Great lookin truck, but im partial to the color lol

[@hunterlaufenberg4086]

Looks awesome! What side steps are those?

[@Auxbeam]

Hi Do you interested in adding a switch panel or LED upgrade or a switch panel to your tractors? We hope to do some sponsorship with you!

[@chrishall6897]

Looks Killer! What side steps are on the truck? I have a 23 Canyon, looking for a similar setup. Thanks!

[@Spankus28]

“I’m building an overlander, first things first, bigger wheels and tires that won’t fit then I’ll tear up my fenders to make them fit then I’ll buy the lift kit. Ok let’s get started. “😂

[@mikepiper3451]

Do you think that a 295/70/18 would fit on a stock canyon at4x? Wheel is 18x9 0 offset

[@cds1223]

The Bison moved front end fwd 3 inches. This is obviously why.

[@davidwethington9320]

Also has a 4in lift over stock canyon.

[@xpsychfour]

I got 35s on my Z71 with a 2in front level

[@jimmycline4778]

Do they rub bad?

[@xpsychfour]

@@jimmycline4778 when fully flexed or with the wheel turning all the way, it rubs a bit, but it just hits the carpet under there. I run the same kit at Downtime Lost on yt

[@m.a.797]

I’m curious what sliders you installed on your AT4. I also have a 3rd Gen Canyon and looking to install some sliders.

[@exbballfan]

They used your tire sensor form the stock wheels. Just ripped you off and charged you.

[@Max-kn9yi]

Why not just get the at4x?

[@user-ix7wd8nk8t]

Looks great! I was going to say you need a leveling kit but it sounds like you have it covered. I have a 2023 trail boss that already had the factory lift. But I still wanted to do the leveling kit and take off the factory 20's and go with 18's and 285's. But....I just won an arbitration case against GM this week so now I am waiting for them to figure out what they will do next to replace it. It was a bad ECM by the way. Issues since day 1. But the other issue is you can't seem to find a colorado or canyon on the lots right now. Not sure what's going on. So I am looking to get a silverado RST and do some mods to that. Anyhow, can;t want to see yours with the lift.

[@davidwethington9320]

GM is holding Colorado and Canyon trucks for quality. Software issues. Should start shipping any day.

[@jracer815]

What tire sensors did you go with

[@christopherpasasin3080]

Hey do you think that if I got 32s that it would still rub a lot or at all?

[@xZeanu]

I have 275/55r20’s (31.9”/10.8”) on mine with a leveling kit and the stock 20” wheels for the Denali and they rub just a little onto the sway bar so you can’t really trim it to fit. Doesn’t really affect me at all except for super tight parking, I can still cram it in a compact spot with a 3 point turn if I’m careful

[@mcomarottis828]

That tells you everything is overpriced (TPS)
