    Seems similar to the Harbor Freight light, but is only 180 lumens, discrete LEDs (not a COB), and $6. [​IMG].

    Just order this Body Armor hiline bumper. Will send pics once it arrives and is installed. Wanted the look of a bull bar but the functionality of a real bumper without a ton of weight way out front.

    Hmm, if it helps....I didn't use the camera that was included in the kit. I picked up a Nitika Backup camera from Amazon. It seemed to be the popular option from others that had done this install. I'm pretty happy with it.

    Yes. Big difference. You can actually feel how freely the arms articulate. These arms let the shocks do there job instead of impeding movement

    You have a link to which one you got? I see a lot on Ebay. I am assuming you didn't get the factory one.

    I actually looked at one before I bought my Tacoma. It's a nice truck, but they wanted $9k more for the ZR2 Colorado than the Tacoma. It just didn't do it for me at the time. I liked the Chevy but not $9K more. In February 2019 I could have got a 2018 Silverado for less than the 2019 Colorado.

    Did they have a good interest rate for the new truck?

    I have the same issue. Would you mind telling me where you get the oil? I have used moth balls but those are really toxic.

    any straight peppermint essential oil will do it. this is strong stuff and Now brand has good prices. 4oz will last forever, maybe get a 1 or 2oz bottle.

    I use quite a bit on the cotton balls.............I use the 30ML = to about the 1 oz. bottles, but I use a lot and it works. It is not the cheapest, but at least it is the real deal...........there are a lot of negative reviews of stuff on Amazon not even working or being watered down.

    i understand the concern about Amazon, believe me i do. but i'm in this industry and can tell you there are good & consistent brands of essential oil products, and Now is legit. peppermint EO is not expensive, some EO's are crazy expensive.

    Good so far, though I’ve only been on the highway. The heavy rear end is a little stiff, but I expect it will soften up once I add the RTT

    Good luck with the Colorado. I had been a GM truck guy for many years, and brought a new 2015 GMC Canyon SLE 2WD, coming from a 2011 Chevy Silverado. Loved the look of the truck and how it rode, however, there were constant problems, some of them major. There was a well documented power steering issue where the steering would revert to manual only, often at inopportune times. I could handle the heavy steering, but my wife could not, and after numerous trips to the dealer, they finally replaced the rack and pinion system, with me responsible for the cost of the parts. My wife refused to drive the truck and called it a death trap. I also had intermittent issues with the AC, which were never resolved and the blender for the heater also seized, which had to be replaced. The head unit would also intermittently lock up, requiring a reset. I just never knew what was coming next. At about 80,000 miles the transmission started shifting very harshly, again, intermittently, and the dealer could never replicate it at the shop. It also started to burn oil as well, the dealer’s response was that it was considered “normal”. The truck was always serviced at the GMC dealer and always well maintained. As I was getting close to the 100,000 mile limit on the drivetrain warranty, I decided to get rid of it this spring and bought a Toyota Tacoma. I did like the look of the Canyon, and it certainly did ride better than the Tacoma, but with all the issues I had throughout the time I owned the Canyon, I just felt that it was time to get rid of it before something else happened. My wife drives a Lexus, and her daughter has a Corolla, both have been excellent, trouble free cars, so Toyota was high on my list. Although I only have a few thousand miles on my new TRD Off Road, it has been trouble free, and my wife feels confident and safe when driving it. I hope you have better luck, but for me, after all I went through, felt that I needed to try something different.
