I got the DV8 rear bumper installed and license plate lights wired during the beginning of the week. The bumper lights aren’t wired yet as I’m still deciding how I want those to be controlled and allow for any future off road lighting additions.
Really need to get my garage storage project finished...

I wired them to the same oem wires I used for the bed lighting which is also tied to the cargo lamp. There is an unused harness behind the drivers tail light that GM uses for the factory bed lighting option. Tap into that. :) If you crawl under the truck on the side and look up behind the tail light you'll see the connector just hanging there.

A little setback on the Victory 4x4 bed rack. I couldn’t for the life of me determine how the stake picket mounts would work without forcing me to trim the plastic rail caps.
Turns out that’s because they were fabricated incorrectly. Replacement are on their way next week and I’ll post pictures of the correct and incorrect mounts for others to be aware of.
On a side note the incorrect ones could be ground down to work correctly if someone has the tools and wants to save $100 on the mounts let me know. They offered to refund the price if I wanted to mod the originals to work. I just don’t have the tools to do so.

After some back and forth with Victory 4x4 we were able to get the correct brackets shipped out. There were some fabrication issues, but their customer service was top notch and once I had all of the correct pieces the bed rack went together nicely. A rooftop tent is on order from 23Zero and should be ready for us to pick up in SLC in early March. At this point, I am already thinking about some OME leaf springs as the rear is leveled out without the bed even being loaded up. The weight of the DV8 bumper and Victory bed rack seems to be enough to flatten those stock rear leaf springs more than I expected.

The 23zero RTT that we ordered in February arrived on Friday. We were originally going to drive to SLC for pick up, but with the stay at home orders, we opted for delivery.

Got in a trip to Silverton for the 4th. We did Cunningham Gulch and California Pass to Hurricane Pass.

Silver tin has some really neat places to explore... I love the Hurricane Creek Trail... I used to drive it two to three times a year when I lived up by GJ.

Stopped in Moab for the weekend on our way back home to Idaho and put the Canyon through it’s over on a few moderate trails. The next addition will be some skid plates after scraping the hitch on one of the taller ledges.

Has been a while since we've made any additions to the Canyon. I've had this set of steel CBI skid plates ready to install for several months, but didn't have the time with some family obligations.
Installation over the weekend went fairly smoothly once I picked up a set of carriage bolts that were missing from my order. The OEM front bumper cover did require some trimming as the front plate extends forward and wraps up towards the nose of the vehicle.
