Video

Great video, what size drill bit did you use for the screws? Instructions say 5mm but it looks like you’re using much smaller. Thanks!

I’m putting electric steps on mine, i think it looks cleaner in my option, I’m scared 4 wheeling my tires might grab onto mud flap and damage my fenders!

I bought the 2024 AT4X and it looks like these will work on this year's model as well but I can't locate the steps on the GMC Website. Do you know if they no longer offer them and if so, can you provide a link? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Truck looks killer.

Stupid question.... Were you just drilling into plastic or sheet metal behind the plastic?

This was by far the most detailed video I could find on the install of these splash guards. I installed them on my 2024 AT today, the install took longer than expected but not overly difficult. I drilled out the hole for the push pins on the front splash guards as suggested and they went in without any issues. Thank you for making the great video, it would have taken me much longer to do the install without it.

Regarding the Push Pin: I just downloaded some instructions someone posted... and it says to drill out (over bore/make bigger) the push pin hole to 7 mm. 7 mm is 0.2756". Potential standard bit options would be 17/64 (0.2656) or 9/32 (0.2813). I believe a previous poster (onemileatatime) used a 5/16 (0.3125). Hope it helps. Update: completed my install today. Once I drilled THE PLASTIC TAB of the guard to 7mm (17/64) the push pin went right in with firm hand force only. No need to over bore the hole in the metal panel.

Thank you I was getting frustrated and would have probably broken it!

Hi there. Thanks for ur video. Can’t wait to order and get them installed on my Edition 1 as well. I’m 5 feet tall and I told my husband ; that was the only issue with this truck. I have to use the rock sliders to get in and sometimes jump from them to get down🤣. Thanks again !

Man thanks for doing this. I have a set, but was struggling with the poor instructions. What do you recommend for the push pin that was giving you a piece of heaven?

I put these steps on my AT4X two weeks ago. They are fantastic. I also put on the GMC rubber mud flaps / splash guards. I really like those. They give the truck a rally look.

Look like training wheels......

jeezuz.. I was literally overthinking the install of this. I was trying to figure out how to install this without removing the tire AND drilling new hole. I guess it's inevitable. Awesome guide! Thank you!

Best detailed video of putting these on that I have seen. I ended up getting mine on before I saw this but didn’t get the 2 metal fasteners on because I didn’t really know to pull the fender well cover back on the front. I’ll have to go back and do that now. On the front for the push pin, the other videos I found they did have to drill it out to make it fit. I did as well and had to use a longer one I had for my house shutters to put back into the bottom seems to work fine Thx for the video!!!

Great DIY video! I just used yours to do mine! Well done! For the push tab on the underside, front, I used a 5/16 drill bit to mildly enlarge the hole of the splash guard; the tab inserted snuggly. For those with smaller hands, the metal retaining clips can be inserted without removing additional screws of the felt fender-well.

Why did you consider that model over their Sherpa?

Ordered mine yesterday...thanks for the video! I've been looking around trying to find what they look like and what it looks like getting in and out of the truck with them installed. Your video was perfect for that!

This is EXACTLY what I am looking for! Thanks for the vid!!

By far the best instructional video I have ever seen.

Are the hitch locks to prevent theft of the hitch itself or for the bike rack.

Best instructional video ever! We bought the Kuat after seeing your video. Now the search for the hitch lock and for locking bike to the rack that can’t be cut by a thief. Any suggestions for bike locking to rack?

Quite helpful … thank you! I have a cheap little Chinese hand steam cleaner that I used to do a “final rinse” on the threads prior to application of pipe dope or marine grease just to not leave any contaminants in contact with the pipe or cap just because I was about to seal up whatever is there for potentially a long time. This would also be one more thing to minimize potential chemical assistance to the dreaded ‘dissimilar metals galvanic corrosion’ process.

Great video. Very informative and helpful. Thank you. 👍

Thanks. Excellent talk through.

Excellent 👍 Got it done in a couple of minutes!

Bet neither of those hitch locks passed muster on Lock Picking Layers website.

This was actually one of the smartest ways i have seen someone do this. Even though the snake bite they are meant for, is useless, they are good at this apparently. When i was about 13 a nighbours puppy was just left to wander the neighborhood and he always came to visit me. One day i noticed he had the giant lump on his side and freaked out. I ended up calling a vet and asking advice. They were very kind and helpful to just a scared kid. I was told it was most likely a weevil. They are more gray and have a flatter face and also more like rubber, than the easy to pop bot flies. It was one of the most disgusting things i have ever done and the puppy laid still the whole time. He knew i was helping. At one point i debated if i was pulling out intestine. Yuck.I got tweezers and went at slowly pulling it out. The hole it left behind was huge. I cleaned him up and that was all i could do for him. I wanted to be a vet after that, But i don't deal with loss and serious injury well.

What were the caps you pulled off before you started cleaning threads? Thanks

Short and sweet, Thankyou for that. Probably would have broke mine otherwise.

Perfect video. Thank you 1,000,000 times ! I just bought one.

I love it when "how to" video is short and to the point like this

Thanks a million

You know what , I was really 😢struggling and your u tube vid was simple and to the point , God Bless 🙏🏼🇺🇸

Should have used a course rag to wipe out the threads. And that's way too much sealer.

👍

Not seeing link to buy locking hitch pin

Just what I was looking for. I was a hair away from taking a small pry took to remove the spring underneath the cover that you showed how to so easily lift. Thanks for saving me an additional cost and boatload of frustration, lol.

I've noticed a lot of people saying a 5/8 inch pin won't fit, but it seems to work for you?

That subscribe pitch sounds like an Apple keynote event

Thank you for this great review and the detailed information. This will be my next rack. ❤

This video is awesome, very informative. I believed that the removal can only be achieved with tweezers. Love that brave dog, good dog parenting.👍🏻

I have this same problem and I have a tap ordered, but I am going to try this method. Thanks!

Thank you! Worked just as you said.

Worked like a charm

Best video ever! As I said “OhMyGOSH!” when you opened the hatchback, you smiled at the camera.👌. HaHaHa! Best presentation. You get us bike ppl. Thx!

Do you bike move a little when the car is in motion? Have you noticed any rusting? What is the quality of the cable lock? Someone mentioned it looked like you could cut thru it with kid scissors. Do you have any additional cable lock or just the one thst comes with it? Thsnks!

Thank you so much for the hitch lock links! So helpful! Ty for making this video! I'm in process in getting a bike rack and all these little accessories you discuss to kept from theft I find soooo helpful! Ty again

Thank you so much for this video, I've been trying to figure it out for weeks!!

I feel dumb asf right now🫠

Thank you so much!
