Thanks a ton! I followed your video and just finished installing my sport bar, saved me from spending $180 at the dealer!
TO ANYONE who is considering DIY wiring the brake-light for the sportbar: This is a good video BUT - YOU DO NOT just pull/tug on the wire for the brake-light from the fuse panel (I said that in a previous comment); there is a tool set for disconnecting these type of wires... I did not know the official name of the tool set when I made my previous comment... I found the name of the tool randomly - I was force-fed an ad while watching another unrelated electrical video on youtube... finally a useful youtube ad... the ad was for "terminal ejector kits"... The tool set you need to correctly disengage the factory 3rd brake-light wire from the fuse panel IS: "Terminal Ejector Kit"
Wow.
Bought my sport bar for a Sierra and your video helped me out a lot on the install thanks 🙏
Using this video to take mine off and it's super easy thank you so much man
Great series of vids so far, very informative! When's part 4 coming out?? Wanting to see what size of tires and rims you are going to go with.
Keep the installs going , the truck looks amazing btw great color
Thanks so much!
nobel award!!
thank you for this video, very informative!!
Glad it was helpful!
!!! Havent heard from you in a while. Glad to see all is good with you man.👍🏻good work.
Great video made it easy to install mine, thanks.
Thank you for the video man! Helped out a lot.
I dont even have a Colorado or any interest in getting one (cant believe I watched this whole vide), but it is very sexy with that sports light bar!!! Reminds me of my old avalanche!! Get work and awesome video!!!
Thank you for your help... Much Appreciated
Thanks for the great vids. Can I ask where you got the nerf bars and steps. Those look really good with the truck. Looking to add some to a 2021 zr2
Súper detailed and helpful
Can you please lmk what roll up toneau you used
Thx
Fantastic video, helped out tremendously. If you ever throw a light bar on that thing, can you make another vid? Light bar installment easy on that sports bar?
Gracias Amigo My Turbo diesel Rado looking way better!!!
Awesome video. Most of the work is the wiring 😂.
Thanks for the video and the information. Got a question...I have a 2023 Canyon and would like to add the sports bar and a cover. Which do you do first...sports bar or cover?
Great video. Do you have any idea of this harness and tapping method will work with a 2017 Colorado? My 3rd brake light isn’t wired up at the moment and I need to purchase the harness.
@The Late Model Tech how are the off road lights controlled? I'm looking to install this bar but I am running aftermarket lights.
How did you get the Colorado lettering on the roll bar? That's awesome I want it for mine
so i did this whole install with off road lights that i bought from chevy as i changed the head lamp switch as well and I thought it will just work like that but it didn’t now I have to figure out how to wire all of it to work.
I have a zr2 and i removed the sports bar with the lights. If i were to just pin the purple wire back in, my stock third brake light will work? I read (online) there is some kind of flash that needed to be done. I have the factory switch that includes the off road light button, not sure if that makes a difference.
Great job.its nice to see someone on CZcams to show step by step how to install on colorado or even the canyon trucks.. any thoughts of putting Tonneau cover on? Since you have to sport bar there's not many choices to choose from.lol
I just looked into this the Gator FX3 is supposed to work with the factory sport bar.
When you cut the purple one does that disable the brake light ?
Look good the my titan pro4x rack
Ok so I understand everything in this video except for where the power for the spot lights is done. Is that the wire for the Silverado? Or how does it work because it can’t be powered by that 3rd brake light or they would come on every time you hit the brakes right?
Do you have a part number for the wire harness only?
Do you happen to know if a tonneau cover fits with the sports bar?
Would just like to add that the plastic retainer for the connector in the fuse box is not the only thing holding the pin in the connector. The pins have two retainer tabs that must be released before you can pull the pin out.
Having an exteemwly difficult time removing the pin. Can this be installed in the 6th position? (1 more over the purple)
Great informative video, any insight as to where to hook up the off road lights on the bar? At the fuse box end of it that is.
The oem part is a new switch on the dash that need programming. If your using aftermarket switch look for a ignition. Wire at the box or under the dash-- you must use a relay.
I got the same bar but it didn’t come with the mounting brackets any idea were to find them because GM parts won’t sell them
Your video was the most informative sure would like to see how to wire up the lights on top I'm putting together an entire kit from bits and pieces I found a sports bar for $400 off of a 2022 the wiring harness that runs along the frame is obsolete without buying a $900 insulation kit im trying not to do that! I already bought the upgraded switch in my sports bar came with lights already.
Nice video! I have the sport bar and lights on my ZR2. Soon to be taken off so I can install a camper. Wonder if I could repurpose the 3rd brake light and lights wiring for the camper rig. Would be so nice not to have to rewire it.
Should work
Is there any way I can buy just the bracket that goes in the hole that you cut or that came with the roll car?
Bought a used sports bar with lights for my truck can’t find anyone to wire it up due to missing front harness. Any chance you have a part # or know where I can get one. Looked everywhere to buy one and any dealership I called couldn’t find one either
So I'm curious. The cargo light don't work or is it still working?
i have that sport bar on my chevy colorado and i need the brake light, any idea where i can get it separately?
i saw your bed gray mat, where did you get it from?
You have any #’s for the middle and front harness’s?
It would be nice to know how to connect the purple to the wiring harness that runs along the inside cab rocker panel located behind the drivers seat, it would be so much easier to splice to wire into that harness rather than all that effort to pull the fuse box apart..., many thanks!
Great video! Very well said and detailed. So I take it the sports bar is non-bed cover compatible?
Would need one that doesn't rest in the caps
I have a 2018 ZR2 in the the Graphite Metallic (Granite Blue). I went to the dealer to get a Z71 and saw the ZR2 on the showroom floor and bought it. Best decision I made . All I have done is tint the windows, added a 20" Black Oak light bar in the lower bumper and added Baja S-2 Pro LED's into the grill. When I turn on the light bar, grill lights and sports bar LED's, it's like Yankee Stadium. I like that I can turn on any combination of the 3 lights as needed. I put the LED switches into the small pocket in front of the shifter. I will probably get the Bison grill and put some LED strip lights (low voltage type) just to illuminate the CHEVROLET logo. I did have an issue when the truck was brand new, that my sports bar lights looked like they were good, but when parked next to friends Z71 with his lights on, mine were half as bright. The dealer discovered that the harness wasn't grounded properly. I call my truck the "Pavement Princess" because I'll probably never take it in mud or sand, snow only. Love this truck......until I get my 2021 Z71 Tahoe later on .
I just bought a 2020 ZR2 Bison Edition took it off road as soon as I left the dealership 🤣
Where can I find this bars? I been looking everywhere and couldn’t find them.
What type of brackets did u use!
Great video. Will the bed light work even though the truck third brake light was disconnected on the truck to install the light bar third brake light?
Yes
How did you get the pin out
How did you buy the sports bar?
Could you mount the ground wire somewhere under the hood, because I already have the fender flares installed and I don’t want to have to remove them. If so, where would you recommend.
a lil late but in front of the fuse box is a ground connection
Where can I buy wiring harness
So, because I got the Trail Boss with the sprayed in liner, I can’t use this. AND those brackets mean no more bed cover. Oh well?
Love the roll bar you put on. It’s not the one in the link. What kind is it?
chevy oem
@thelatemodeltech do you have a product number for the harness shown at 14:18? Trying to get a hold of one for my lights but dealer won't sell it without the whole kit. I appreciate any help 😁
Did u find the cable I am stuck with the same problem thanks
Do you happen to know if a sport bar can be used with my trifold hard bed cover?? Thanks
Probably not
Would this work with a low profile tool box installed as well? Thinking the box wont be able to open due to the thickness of the bars
Low pro box will probably work
Watching your video to figure out how to uninstall my Sports bar on my ZR2 Bison as these are simply too big and serve no purpose on a midsize and is not an actual roll bar. Just trying to see where the lights connect under the chassis so ai can safely remove anything without doing permanent damage.
No switch or how to turn on?
Now it looks like a Chevy avalanche.
Hey! So I got everything put together and all I need to do is the wiring. Where can I find that extension that you have? My cord won’t make it all the way to the front of the truck.
It came with the bar
@@Donnythelatemodeltech gotcha gotcha. Do you think you can do a tutorial on how to put on the two lights kit?
@@TheForestfire111 yea no problem, send me the lights.
@@TheForestfire111 pretty sure the headlight switch has to be program with a scan tool to work.
@@Donnythelatemodeltech oh wow. I hope that if I get it all together the dealership can fix it for me.
What is the part number on the sport bar? Your link is not correct
Its in the title. Its not on Amazon yet, I only post Amazon links. If you find it on Amazon link me.
Hi do you the name of the cable that runs under the frame to the fuse box mine is missing
Harness
Do you have the harness number just in casa . Mine came in with just the sports bar cable and the one for the fuse box but the body harness is missing
Where do I find that exact roll bar in video
Dealer
Can someone explain to me why this says it won't fit a 2015?
Same question. I cant see why it wouldnt fit, except maybe needing to drill some holes.
Don’t cut the old pin. Put a piece of shrink tube over the metal to protect it and tuck it away just in case you want to reverse it.
Yes! He had me right up until he cut it. I hate drilling and cutting on my new vehicles. All the mods I've ever done on my vehicles since the 1970s have been reversible to factory condition.
Should have left the original purple wire intact so that if you don’t want the sport bar one day you can hook back up your original brake light.
My man, love the channel, subbed and liked the vids..Seems we on the same similar path as far as this youtube thing go. Would love to do a livestream with you one eve so you can meet my squad and possibly pull in some more, and vice versa with your channel. HMU and let me know if interested..Great channel.
Thanks hit me up on a messenger, instagram or Facebook. You got me curious.
Hey man are you in Houston?
What's up?
@@Donnythelatemodeltech just checking man, keep up the great work, I may need some led light bar installed on my tundra lol,
Back rack looks way better than a roll bar on this truck...
I installed the sportbar myself, and to avoid warranty issues i took it to my local chevy dealer to have it wired while doing my free oil change... oil change took 2 hours for some reason... so the "tech" comes and tells me the oil change is complete but they would have to remove the sportbar and start from scratch... i asked why do u have to remove sportbar, i already ran the wire... he just looked at me confused... and repeated "its going to be very expensive"... told him to give me my keys.... they can keep their free oil changes... wont ever see me again.
Yeah , those are called Lube techs, 🙄 , you need to get a seasoned tech with a good attitude to wire it.
@@Donnythelatemodeltech I ended up wiring it myself, successfully... But I must say, YOU DO NOT JUST PULL the wire for the brake light from the fuse panel... there is a tool... the wire has a safety catch/ prongs that hold the wire intact, I don't have the tool but I sharpened some tweezers to get in there and release the prongs... If you examine the wire after removal ( or if you examine the wire on the sportbar harness ) you will see the prongs soldered to the wire for the brake light ...and the fuse panel cover has 6 tabs that must be released simultaneously.. I used screws (jammed into tabs 1 at a time) to make sure all tabs were released... then pulled up to remove fuse panel cover... other than those 2 issues this video is dead on.
Part 4?
Part 3?
@@Donnythelatemodeltech sorry I was looking for the part you referenced in part 1 with bigger tires no lift, be well
Why would you cut the lead off the original wire? Just tape it up for another time!
What other time?
The Late Model Tech any time! Easier to untape it then to splice it up? No?
Anytime? Oh, I guess when you upgrade your cars and trucks , you only do it temporary. I get it now. This is easily fixable back to stock.
I made three videos with this truckin one day, the grill, fender flares, and the sports bar. All permanent modifications. "Fyi, this isn't even my truck ". The customer has no intention to remove anything. They wanted everything installed just like the dealership, " I work at the dealership" . Thanks for watching the video and I always appreciate the comments, if you have any questions please ask. Have a safe and blessed day.
@@Donnythelatemodeltech I wasn't meaning to be argumentative but I see electricians cut wires off every day instead of preserving for a rainy day. Seems needless to cut it off if its dead but you have a lead to a line headed way in the back right? Next owner might not want this upgrade? Anyway keep up the videos I enjoy them! Thanks!
Fishing that wire through the box corner is bullshit. What a pain in the ass. Almost lost my cool.
