Girl killed it on the logos. I bought some precut because I have the red stock badges, and any imperfection is super visible. Also, ain't nobody got time for that LOL

[@georgewilliams6328]

Looks good! I like it, It gives me the confidence to do some small what's on my truck! It's crazy how some of the small changes can make a big difference in your truck's appearance!

[@Donslife]

I agree, little changes can go a long way

[@a.bohcar5096]

The snow man. That looks bad ass. I got a blacked out Trail Boss. Like the white out look too though. If I was on the white I get the AT4 and do what you’ve done. Awesome job

[@Donslife]

Thanks man! I tried to track a black AT4 down at first but the only one with the options I wanted was in white, which was my second pick. I have some more stuff coming soon on the channel with it! Good nickname...Snowman 😂

[@jaylo7614]

woahh, love the new look man

[@Donslife]

Thanks, I just received the proper color of white vinyl since what I had was a little off.

[@dmtz27]

What we’re the measurements you used for the mirror cap ??

[@Donslife]

If you’re wrapping for the first time 12”x18” would probably do (per side)

[@bigdog3495]

Wow that really turned out nice ! I'm curious to see how that vinyl holds up through the winter weather.

[@Donslife]

Thanks! I have been working with vinyl wraps for years and like most things, if it is a quality product and installed correctly, it will last years. I wrapped an entire Full Size SUV in the same film last year and it survived a 6 month winter just fine.

[@CieraAsh]

I looked at your affiliate links and didn’t see the actual vinyl you used? And if there is a kit that includes the tools used ?

[@Gil4546]

Looks really good 👍

[@Donslife]

👍🏼 Thanks 🙏🏻

[@Bill-ck3lo]

I’m not a fan of white anything, but that looks awesome!!

[@Donslife]

Thanks Bill

[@ljimzlj8079]

The emblem looks awesome!!

[@Donslife]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@MRAZR00]

Nice job 👍🏾

[@Donslife]

Thanks 🙏🏻

[@klutch14u]

Nicely done, any benefit to removing the mirror caps, especially for a first timer? As a side note, how much additional lift is on that?

[@Donslife]

There is a benefit taking off the caps since you can wrap around the edge and tuck it in behind. Takes longer, but will last longer too. No lift at all yet. If I do, I think I would only level it.

[@abdullahalzuwayed8211]

nice work

[@Donslife]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@deviltribe8672]

Are you still liking the S&B CAI? Have you noticed any HP increase or MPG increase? I Love the work you’re doing to the AT4!

[@Donslife]

I am lovin’ the intake! I have noticed a slight improvement in mpg. The trade off is no more sound baffling from the factory intake. However I am okay with the extra grunt!

[@CraftyBoii]

love the video man! That lighting pattern in the first minute with the headlights, is that a mod?

[@Donslife]

Thanks man! I think the frame rate of the camera and frequency of the day time runnings lights just synchronized for a few seconds. Looks cool though!

[@josediaz-ws6er]

Hi, it looks nice! I have a 2002 yukon and 2007 yukon denali where u get yours and would the fit on my suvs?

[@Donslife]

Hey Jose, for the illuminated emblem, you will probably only find ebay/amazon type options. Unfortunately GM doesn’t seem to make them for older models. Otherwise you might be able to fabricate something but that might not be worth the effort.

[@josediaz-ws6er]

@@Donslife I'll look into that, but thanks.

[@LucBouillonRealty]

What is that red tool you used to push the wrap into the creveces ?

[@Donslife]

Wrap stick or micro squeegee are the common names

[@lochranegary4275]

DId you wrap your tailights and 3rd upper light wit the Vivvid Hex Vinyl? IF so do you have a video of it? Any advice for me... I'm doing my taillights soon?

[@Donslife]

Yes I made 2 videos. 1 - How to Install Smoke Taillight Tint by VViViD with Air Release on a GMC Sierra AT4 2 - Cheap and Effective Mods! For the Do It Yourself Kind of Human!

Looks fantastic! Do you tow your rv with the gmc?

[@Donslife]

I haven’t with this one. I did with my 6.2 Denali before this truck. It is a lightweight RV, about 6400lbs dry. I will be installing load levelling bags in back which I had in the Denali too. Towed beautifully and was about 80% to capacity. We live in the prairies and camping or boating is always a flat haul too.

[@tharv3374]

Hey what web site did you get your wrap for the GMC logo? Looking to do the same with my at4.. Thanks!

[@Donslife]

Cut it out myself

[@OneBadSon]

It’s looking really good! How are you liking the AT4?

[@Donslife]

Really liking it so far!

[@OneBadSon]

@@Donslife good to hear! What’s your most favourite thing about it and if there happens to be 1 disappointment what would it be?

[@Donslife]

@@OneBadSon sounds like I should do a video on the subject! It’s a tie on looks and performance! The only downside is knowing the interior is getting a refresh soon. But at the end of the day, all of the screens tell all of the same info. I can’t wait for my exhaust to come in too

[@OneBadSon]

@@Donslife you should definitely do a video on that subject!

[@josephmichaud8764]

What color wrap did you use and from who

[@Donslife]

Avery sw900 diamond gloss white I think was the color. Not a perfect match still.

[@KnightsGarage]

How long have you had your truck? And have you had any problems with it? Engine trouble?

[@Donslife]

I have had this truck for 3 months now. No issues whatsoever. I had the 6.2L in my 2013 Sierra and also in my wife’s 2016 Escalade. The engine is solid. No issues with any of them in my experience. The Escalade has some other issues not drivetrain related though.

[@KnightsGarage]

@@Donslife ok. I have one on order. I became a member of a couple Facebook pages for the AT4’s and it just seems like every day there’s someone posting about their truck leaving them stranded, having to be at the dealership more than they get to drive it, or engine failures. Has me a little discouraged about actually buying it.

[@Donslife]

I can only speak from my experience and I am happy and also not worried, especially while I have warranty. To be fair I think you’ll find comments and testimonials for for all major brands where common issues are discussed. Good news is resale values should stay higher while there is a chip production issue if you keep yours short term.

[@KnightsGarage]

@@Donslife true. Just don’t want the trouble or to have my family stranded somewhere. May risk it still.

[@Donslife]

I wish you all the best with any vehicle you choose! Good luck man

[@snifflez3823]

Where can I buy the vinyl?

[@Donslife]

Where are you located….Canada or US?

[@josealcala582]

BOSS

[@josealcala582]

Now you need these the Red LED light strip under the tailgate like mine! Gmc product.

[@Donslife]

I have it. Didn’t film the install though 😢

[@josealcala582]

I have a 2019 GMC SIERRA SLT Summit white with the front lighted emblem and the putco tailgate lightbar. Looks awesome. Your truck is looking awesome too!

[@Donslife]

@@josealcala582 thanks brother

[@rickbadessa4897]

Do you happen to know if they make the illuminated emblem for a 2012 Sierra...if they do I can't find it

[@Donslife]

Sorry Rick, I don’t think so. Not made by GM anyway. I had a 2013 Sierra up until last October and didn’t find anything on that generation unless I went with aftermarket.

[@sethb775]

How many weeks did it take to get your Sierra? I ordered mine March 30 and haven’t heard anything yet... they said 8-10 weeks but I haven’t head anything form the dealer or GM...

[@Donslife]

I had been working with the dealership to find me one for about 3 weeks and they snagged one that was incoming to another dealer.

[@sethb775]

@@Donslife I know there is a chip shortage going on. I had to order because I wanted the crew cab standard box AT4.. just have to put it in the back of my mind for now...

[@Donslife]

Trying not to think about it might be tough. Just sayin’ 🤔

[@OneBadSon]

Mines been on order since November 9th...

[@Donslife]

@@OneBadSon long wait 😔

[@broncos33ag]

Do you know if this is made for a 2017? I have searched and no luck.

[@broncos33ag]

Gmc lighted emblem.

[@Donslife]

It is only for the 2019+ Sierras. There are ebay ones but not made by GM and don’t look as good in my opinion

[@donearl6675]

😎😁👍❗

[@brianrichman7460]

Where did you order the emblem? Looking for my 2018 Elantra buts it's hard to find

[@Donslife]

This is product made by GM and is available at the GM dealerships. Ford has some for their vehicles too. I haven't heard of Hyundai having them, sorry.

[@donearl6675]

here how it looks like on my ram....kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJfZgWV3r7hoprc

[@Lerchcon]

Nice work.

[@Donslife]

Thanks

[@Lerchcon]

I like the mods you have done here. I ended up with the black widow 2021 Sierra 1500 AT4. It was hard to go from a fully loaded Ram to this, interior wise. I have the 3.0 turbo diesel and just drove about 700 miles with it this weekend. It did about 17mpg with average speed about 75. So not horrible. I do like the front grill you did. The wraps on the GMC and the mirror covers. But for me the red on the GMC is good given the red accents for the black widow package. But I love how you hid the chrome in the GMC letters. I was looking at the GMC mirror covers they sell in the gmc site. But was wondering how to remove current covers without messing them up. Thanks again. I’m currently looking to add rear red accent lights when doors open. I currently have front red accent lights. Tell your daughter great job.

[@Donslife]

I am ordering a white vinyl that matches the paint a little closer. I will probably be filming the removal of the mirror caps too. Thank you for watching and I will let me daughter know she crushed it!
