What is the First Mod You Should Do To Your 2023+ Colorado or Canyon???

[@Hazdazos]

Have had my Colorado for barely 24 hours now and thought this was an interesting list. Thanks for sharing.

[@BadlandIndustries]

What do you plan to do first on yours?

[@Hazdazos]

@@BadlandIndustries mine didn't come with floor mats, so probably that. I also want to motorize the rear window - if I have time this week, I want to start modeling it up in CAD and see what I come up with.

[@BadlandIndustries]

@Hazdazos that would be cool. You'd have to figure out the latch though. Unless the actuator is the mechanism locking it closed

[@Hazdazos]

@BadlandIndustries yeah if you use an acme thread or similar, you can't (easily) back-drive it, so that would act as the lock. Plus the window is so small, there is little concern about someone gaining entry to the cabin if they did somehow break the actuator.

[@grey1wa]

Blow off Valve Yes install and review

[@grey1wa]

My first mod was blacking out the side markers with some tinted vinyl wrap I had left from another project. at the same time I also added PPF to my door sills, and then added a 10" Powered hideaway sub. and Finally AVS Window visors. meanwhile Patiently waiting on some more after market parts :D

[@BadlandIndustries]

Right on man!

[@mikemccabe7124]

I agree I got my canyon a month ago and want to know how easy and how effective it is so any input would be greatly appreciated and love the Matt's offroad recovery shirt I'm a fan of fab rats, Matt's, trail mater and robby laytons channel

[@grey1wa]

@@mikemccabe7124 sweet.. what color?

[@mikemccabe7124]

@grey1wa it's white body with black rims, grille, fender flares & trim peices

[@Daywalker_27]

That LED in the step bumper is something I haven’t seen 💡

[@BadlandIndustries]

i use it all the time. i cant wait to hook it up to my auxbeam switch panel

[@jacobcarrillo906]

It’s cool to see alot of the options for bolt ons so early on.

[@BadlandIndustries]

100%

[@francescocesario2658]

Do you have an install video for the rearview camera mirror?! Thanks for this video btw!!

[@BadlandIndustries]

It's coming soon

[@Geonade]

agreed

[@luisnivar2854]

Please iam wait for that video 🎉​@BadlandIndustries

[@Torch4Life]

My 1st mod was flowmaster 40 & resonator delete. The sound this motor makes at low rpm under load through the modified exhaust is very rewarding.

[@BadlandIndustries]

Have you made a video with how it sounds?

[@Torch4Life]

@@BadlandIndustries I've made a couple but the engine's idling, not under load, & it's Totally different/better loaded. I'll try to make one specif highlighting that. The exh is 3 inches a-z already, so folks should make sure the muffler is too so as to not slow flow down, & the resonator Absolutely has to go, it won't sound any good if you leave it & it's not like it's super loud or offensive w/o it. You'll put me on your xmas card list.

[@harrybutter1286]

Gave my Hummer H3 to my son - just got my Colorado Bison yesterday, glad to see your covering all my favs :D

[@joshuatorres7689]

Love what you did to the truck! And the tints make such a big difference what % did u go with all around?

[@BadlandIndustries]

I dont remember off hand. Lightest I could on the front, darker on the front 2 and lighter on the back half. It all looks super even. Honestly seemed to feel like the cab stayed warmer due to it. We'll see how summer does

[@cyclest9300]

Great video, thank you for the recommendations!!. Besides the Dome Lights, where else in the truck you used the LED bulbs you linked in the video description?

[@BadlandIndustries]

The reverse lights were lacking. Certain trims had incandescent bulbs, and you can replace those with led.

[@Von-zh2hh]

got a 2023 canon at4 got ceramic tints first, 5% sides and back. 45% front.

[@BadlandIndustries]

That's dark man.

[@1mrracer]

That Wolfbox Dual Dash Cam Mirror is legit, any chance you put out an installation video on that puppy ?

[@BadlandIndustries]

Infact I do have a video

[@NavyLDO]

Nice video. Thank for sharing. Couple questions and a comment… -Where did you find the dash track? Been looking all over for one of those and can’t seem to find it. -What was the 3rd brake light? Asking, because I installed one and want to know if I should be watching out for a leak. -Lastly, I’d say no to the BoV. Personally, I think it would get annoying. Thanks! Jeff

[@BadlandIndustries]

I made the dash track and vent mount. 3rd brake light doesnt leak into the cab but I had moisture inside of it recently. If you say no to the BOV spacer you'll hate my video being uploaded right now lol

[@RidingwithDRod]

love the mods.. just got my 24 Canyon AT4X and already working on your list.. thanks for sharing..

[@mikemccabe7124]

I'm doin alot of factory integration stereo stuff with my canyon using a dsp and aftermarket speakers and subs, im curious to learn more on any leveling/lift kits.. im doin some small exterior mods like a floating roof look using vinyl wrap from vivid with ther high gloss pianno black like andre did from TFL on his colorado i think it adds a subtle enhancement to the black and white theme im going for he did a vid on his and i liked it more after i did mine

[@BadlandIndustries]

I'll be installing the lift I've been working on here in the next few weeks. You guys will want to see how it turns out.

[@thomaslashinski7074]

First Mod on my ‘24 Denali was LASFIT LED BULBS, Interior, Reverse, License Plate, 3rd Brake and Cargo Lamp, PUTCO 3 function tailgate plug and play light bar, Vanish Tonneau Cover. Still want to do the tail lights but not sure what number bulb they are. And yes Blow Off valve install and review

[@BadlandIndustries]

I've got the blow off valve video. Looks like you've been quite busy.

[@Holden-McGroin]

Interested in the leveling kits. We have four of these trucks on order and we always add leveling kits.

[@BadlandIndustries]

We thoroughly tested the kit we're working on at Sand hollow last week. Pretty happy with the results so far.

[@QNSwebmaster]

Did you make a video of the rear view mirror /camera? It is really nice

[@BadlandIndustries]

Just uploaded it yesterday

[@bradbruggeman6745]

I would like to see a video using that auxiliary switch for bed lights.

[@BadlandIndustries]

That too is pretty simply. I complicated it by using that blue switch but there's already a pigtail under the bed you just tap into. Add a switch in-line and mount the lights and run the loom.

[@bradbruggeman6745]

I would like to see an installation video on the turbo sound accessorie and the under hood light.

[@BadlandIndustries]

I have a video on the bov spacer. The under hood light was literally a 5min install and by no means difficult. Just run the power to the battery and it grounds out through itself where it mounts.

[@louc288]

Great idea for seat belt covers, what size did you get? small or large? Thanks

[@BadlandIndustries]

You need 2 of each. Take a look at your trucks buckles to see the difference between the two sizes.

[@saram5817]

For your dash cam / rear view mirror. Where did you mount your rear facing camera? Did you utilize any of the HD vision cameras or did you mount the provided one somewhere?

[@BadlandIndustries]

I actually just released the install video a couple weeks ago. It's on the channel

[@Alfduran9590]

Where did you get seat belt cover and door seal liner. Thanks for sharing

[@BadlandIndustries]

i have links to everything in the video description

[@markkilpatrick7951]

Hi. Great Video. Do you recall what percent window tint you went with? It looks just about perfect 👍🏼

[@BadlandIndustries]

If memory serves 75% windshield 30% on the fronts and 18% on the backs. Really works well and isn't too dark looking out

[@Nanan00]

I have a 2018 Colorado and run 35% tint on my front doors and back window and limo zero on the back windows and it was a night and day difference not just in brightness but in heat.

[@BadlandIndustries]

Ceramic is no joke. I was skeptical until I had it installed

[@lori1ify]

What are you thinking about on suspension lift? Are you making something yourself interested in finding out before purchasing another product. Thanks

[@BadlandIndustries]

yes i'm working on a kit that works differently than the other current offerings. stay tuned

[@hiinduXsniipes27]

Hey man, thanks so much for your video! I was wondering, do you know if there’s a way for us to add the DSSV jounce control dampers on our 2023 Canyons? We seem to be missing a bracket that the 2024 models have included. Just wondering if there’s a way for us to add that bracket. Thanks! AP

[@BadlandIndustries]

Yes I have the cad files and plan to work on this.

[@9304kevin]

Nice video.. exactly the kind of material i was looking for. just one question, i try to find the led lights you used for the interior of the truck but couldn't find them in the list, please help

[@9304kevin]

did you use dome lights for the interior and reverse lights too? I apologize. I'm new to this truck/car world

[@BadlandIndustries]

They were some bulbs I had from some other purchase I think. They're 194 size but they're the flad chip style not the bulb looking ones.

[@mikesouza559]

Your video and truck are awesome! can you give more details about the 'Dash Track' Mount. I cant find any solutions for my 23 Jeep Grand Cherokee

[@BadlandIndustries]

I dont have one to test on but I'd be happy to look at it.

[@juanfuentes-chavez8324]

[@Geonade]

@@BadlandIndustries any eta?

[@BadlandIndustries]

@Geonade likely this weekend. I'm catching up on orders currently.

[@RossMalagarie]

you said you put the same LED bulb that you used in your dome lights all over the truck? Where else did you use them? License plate lights? Fender lights? Where? You said you bought 10?

[@BadlandIndustries]

The 194s were a pack of 10. So the dome lights are 194, I did the reverse lights but I believe those were different. Fenders were their own housings but I wouldn't recommend them as I've blown all the LEDs out of that pretty quickly.

[@RossMalagarie]

@BadlandIndustries thanks the reverse LEDs still working?

I have them. Many people are skeptical about them. I'm still testing the spacers I have on my truck. I didn't want to recommend something that wasn't safe.

[@rich2putt]

OT.....I'd like to replace my LED headlights to stronger ones. I have a 2023 GMC Canyon Denali, the AUTO place I do business with stated that the LED lights are sealed and can not be replaced. Is this correct? Thank You.

I've seen quite a few guys convert to led. They are 9005 bulbs.

No, just find a local shop and have them do it.

So this tow reciever kit will fit my colorado 2023 wt?

it should. there's some talk about the step brackets but if your truck doesn't have that then just cut them off or find a hitch that doesn't use them.

With the seat buckle covers, why two small and one large?

[@BadlandIndustries]

They are different sizes from gm.

[@RayD1234]

I ordered these and you actually need 2 large for the front seats and 3 small for the back seats. You could get away with only 2 small for the back, because the middle seat isn’t hitting plastic, but I went with 3 so they all look alike.

[@BadlandIndustries]

@@RayD1234 good call. I was only concerned with destroying the plastics.

I can tell you right now that if your car uses a turbo that reciprocates the pressure and you put an atmospheric on there, you are going to completely screw up the truck. It will run like ass.
