My father’s giving me his 2017 sle and I’m just trying to brainstorm ideas and look at things I can do to make it look even better, a part 2 would be real nice!

[@Donslife]

I’ll see what I can do!

[@jalaljalal2518]

Tint, Leveling kit, LED headlights, fog lights, reverse lights & license plate lights… I would also find a nice set of stock wheels that came off of newer truck on facebook marketplace.

[@cje26]

Your video on the Boost 6 High module marked the first of many many mods I've done to my own Sierra over the last year or so. You definitely help to take the fear out of modding such a big investment!

[@mwright6395]

Love the reminder of the early mods, please do a 2nd video

[@BradLMN]

All great mods & yes, you have helped me spend some of my money for mods...lol Definitely make a part 2.....please. 😎

[@phillipnayola]

Please show more! I am always looking for some good, easy upgrades.

[@tylerfp]

Love all of these mods, especially since I have the exact same 2021 GMC Sierra AT4 with a 6.2! Before I do anything to my truck, I see what you've done and how you've done it!

[@DIYGUY-AT4]

I’ve done most of the same mods on my 2021 Sierra AT4 by watching your videos.

[@Donslife]

Nothing wrong with that 😜

[@KevLaswiss-c4u]

The GMC truck tailgate could double as a bar with some stools looks about the right height when cloed & the little part open as the bar

[@Donslife]

Good call

[@robb4785]

With the outlet in the bed, not just a bar but music and food cooking... tailgate vibes for sure... yes, folks will use 4 work, but not me so much me haha

[@kyleskates925]

Man I’d love a part 2 to this 🤘🏻

[@zr2zamboni906]

Love to know more about the Molle panel (or just PackOut racks) on the flex gate!

[@arturojguajardo]

Mind-blowing, I just can't move out your channel,.. great stuff Sierra 1500 upgrades..

[@Donslife]

Wow, thanks!

[@robb4785]

Yo, I just bought this truck this weekend. I was trying 2 find videos on all the controls and buttons features 4 the inside. But I came across this within minutes. I subscribe. I just knew I wanted 2 know about everything you have done. With that said, I'm about 2 go down a long rabbit hole on your channel, lol... awesome content

[@Bruce2518]

What a great looking truck! You have great taste.

[@Donslife]

Thank you kindly!

[@aleex2ss]

Just picked up my 2024 Silverado LT. Ordered the shorter antenna as soon as I got home

[@Donslife]

😎

[@Stonehorn81]

Good video. I have a 2021 AT4 Duramax. Definitely a few things you’ve done that are good ideas

[@stevemoening2205]

Looking for part 2. Thanks Don

[@sirius334251]

Love the vids! I’d love a part 2!

[@MikeBMW]

Great mods, Don! I use the under hood light but when the switch got rusted, I ran the ground to an interior switch bank. I went with a stub antenna but just couldn't bring myself to get the 50 cal bullet look - hate it, though a stub antenna does work well. I like the screen covers, especially for my 14.2" screen - I'll be looking into that! The tailgate seal really does help keep water out. The Hyper Dip looks good for some fun stuff! I also did the Boost Auto mod for lights. This a great overview video! I have a power retractable bed cover but didn't have the funds to spring for the really cool one you have. Thanks for the videos! :)

[@Donslife]

My pleasure 🙏

[@LoneStarAT4]

Definitely make a part 2 brother

[@tunertorquetv]

Don always has the great video ideas!

[@gk9417]

Yes Part 2 ✌️Thanks Don ✌️🇨🇦

[@Cloves1976]

Where did you buy the $15 led light under the hood?Was there a video for that? I appreciate your videos it really gives my ideas of what I can do to my truck🤙🏼

[@Cloves1976]

Nm saw the link 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@jmspr1]

Love your videos, can you please tell me what color or code is the beautiful wrap in your at4?

[@Donslife]

Gloss Khaki Green by VinylFrog

[@willbrown5832]

Thanks Don. Love the Channel. Please keep the content coming. I also really like the cellphone wireless charger on the lid of the Center console. Like you, I have a 2021 GMC Sierra AT4 AND a Corvette. My Corvette is a 2009 ZR1 with Chrome wheels and I wanted your opinion of the Hyperdip to cover the Chrome. Just not having any luck finding black C6 wheels and remembered what you did on our stock wheels. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

[@Donslife]

Thank you for watching the videos! Hyperdip works very well on chrome.

[@megatron1117]

Great content Don! So much things I need to do on my Sierra now! Lol quick question, when you wrapped your front grill bezel in the khaki colour did you do that in one piece or two?

[@Donslife]

Thanks. 2 pieces one long piece that that covers 75% (sides and top) 25% the bottom. This way the seams faced down/inward and you can’t see them

[@JRAM7]

Where did you get your Tonneau cover? Cannister looks pretty small and i am interested. Thanks

[@Donslife]

Right here sir. This is the first of a few videos too. Installation & Review / The Best Retractable ELECTRIC Truck Tonneau / Bed Cover By EGR RollTrac! kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4DMpomQmJ17adk

[@hawkowl455]

I never knew about all these add on things, wow I have a couple of Harbor freight lights almost like the ones over the hood off that truck, do you have instructions on how to install them? Do you have instructions on installing a CB Firestick on the front hood. Mike

[@Donslife]

Here is the first set I installed. I have replaced them with some fancier ones since. Adding 3" LED Pod / Ditch Lights by AuxBeam to my GMC Sierra AT4 kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6bPlKCLjsmapck

Here is a video my friend: Upgrade Your Truck's Lighting: LED Pod DIY Guide kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXTLnHiBYrefi6c

[@sr.pabl0806]

Actually for the swirl marks on the plastic on the door, you can use maguires scratchx

[@Donslife]

Yes sir!

[@4961Studebaker]

OG. Shout out to the Buttons!! So dumb the organizer was left out for a couple years. Consumers complained and now there is a tray that comes stock.

[@wg1966]

I have a 2008 F150 super cab and I can't find a tray that fits my center console. The other thing is I noticed you have lights on the hood. Do you have a video on how to install them?

[@Donslife]

Here is a new video (follow-up) that has links to the hood lights and videos too More Popular & Affordable Mods and Accessories for your Truck! Part 2 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGKvmoieqd2ZeKM

[@seanlll9286]

I like your sports bar on top of the back cover, how much u got it for?

[@Donslife]

It is a preproduction version I am testing in partnership with EGRUSA

[@seanlll9286]

@@Donslife is there anyway I can buy it ?

[@Donslife]

Have you looked at EGRUSA’s site? They sell them for several truck without the RollTrac box cover, which mine is designed for. If you want one for the EGR RollTrac box cover like I have, I don’t know when the release date is

[@trevorjohnson590]

How did the wheel spacers hold up? I know you went with new wheels. Any issues?

[@Donslife]

Their fine. We moved them to my wife’s Escalade and you wouldn’t even know they were there except for the improved stance

[@mikemccabe7124]

yes make another video and maybe add more to it like 15 or 20-30 instead of just 10

[@jonnyfittro6882]

What is the color of the wrap on ur GMC light green??

[@Donslife]

Vinyl Frog Khaki Green

[@linebackerjs]

The grill overlay doesn’t have the gmc letters or did you just choose to leave them off?

[@Donslife]

I have a replacement emblem I need to reinstall. The grill overlay actually fits around it. Video coming soon!

[@francof6383]

you ever do a leveling kit i heard you can mess up your auto 4x4 i got a 2022 gmc sierra elivation 2022 non refreshed

[@Donslife]

I don't have a leveling kit, but yes with any of the factory lifted trucks, like my AT4, a level kit can cause problems for AUTO 4wd.

[@francof6383]

@@Donslife thanks for reply👍👍

[@Joshkaay]

What do you do for a living?

[@utjoseywales]

@Donslife - I've reached out before and cannot figure out how to DM you, so again, just want to say I love watching your videos, I've installed many of your mods on my 2019 AT4 and you make it easy for a guy who has no mechanical ability at all, so thank you. That said, I would love the opportunity to buy your AT4 when (and we all know it'll happen eventually, as you're always looking forward to your next journey) you're ready to part ways with it. Please reply if this is something that would be of mutual interest. Kindest regards, and keep up the great content.

[@Donslife]

Hi there 👋. My email is in every video description. I am also on Instagram where I can be direct messaged. One day I will sell 😊

[@isreal111982]

What phone holder do you use for your at4? Or dont you use one? Do you always use the on board google maps or do u find yourself using your phone

[@Donslife]

I don’t use a holder for my phone. I haven’t found one I ‘had to have.’ For maps, I use a combination of built-in, Google and Apple (both with Carplay). Honestly it is a mix of all of them

[@garylofgren]

Yes like a second with more MODS

[@DianeDavis-d9b]

What kind of running boards are those?

[@Donslife]

Boost Auto. Watch the Part 4 video if you want to look at details. Links are included in the video description

[@shanedavis6779]

What did you use to seal up the tailgate mine gets water in it too easily

[@Donslife]

I used this. Keeps rainfall out but if you try to force water in, you can find weak points. Tailgate Seal Kit For The GMC Multipro and Silverado Multiflex Tailgate Install and Review kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJvNdpqkqb2Eiqc

[@williamaraujo3468]

I installed the bed lighting strip. I wire the two strips like you did and still blink and turn off. What do you advice

[@Donslife]

Add a 12volt relay to draw extra power from the battery. Cost is under $10

[@Donslife]

Here is a video from when I installed a 3 strip with a relay. Affordable Truck Bed LED Lighting: Easy Install Guide kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJDXoXZjp8l4qac

Where’s you get the Molle side panels?

What kind of exhaust do you have on your truck. Thanks

[@Donslife]

Borla SType cat back

[@Ninezero1990]

Thank you it sounds great.

[@johnsalamone5618]

Where did you get the shovel mount and shovel?

Would you sell the white grill ?

[@kinghundo]

Wat type of roll bar do you have?

[@Donslife]

EGR Roll Trac add on accessory

[@1LE4ME]

Is it true vinyl wraps can destroy your paint? Are they 100% safe?

[@Donslife]

If you are applying on a properly painted and cured surface with a decent vinyl, you should be fine. A repainted part, section or panel could be at risk.

[@Donslife]

It is rare to have the paint finish wrecked.

[@1LE4ME]

Thanks Don. I have a 23 AT4 and am looking at doing the roof black like yours. Maybe not the rear vertical by the back window and sides like the new TRD PRO. Love the content!

[@rodneyfavors8928]

How much was the wrap for your truck

[@Donslife]

Did it myself. Material costs are about $1200+ Canadian. Lots of wrap videos exist that I have made on the channel including this truck

[@Rodrigoaguilar88]

That's painting or wrapping?

[@Donslife]

My DIY wrapping. Lots of videos about it

[@legacy4496]

can i do that grill in my 2018

What cover do you have on your bed? The roll looks really small

[@LostCanuck192]

Just some friendly advice and not attacking you. Stop the "walk and talk" filming. It's fine if you're actually walking somewhere, but if you're not, it gives the impression of insecurity. Making what you're about to say untrustworthy.

[@Donslife]

Interesting 🧐 Thanks for the feedback. I have been told standing in one place is too boring for the audience too.

[@ABYStheOyster]

So let's have a chat with the truck owner about where he got his mods done.....
