That ocean color in the interior just completely ties the whole truck together that a lot of truck builder forget/ leave out when building a truck! Keep this awesome grind up man!! Can't wait for the garage build to start!!
The wire comes from the big connector (that plugs in behind the ebrake switch), green with red trace. Before I installed everything I put female lugs on the 4 AUX wires and spliced in a green wire to the lightbar/beacon wire so I can connect loads to all 5 AUX switches at the switch box unit. 😎 Aside: I think it SUCKS that GM wouldn't install this box when Upfitter switches are a factory option (as it was on my 2022 Chev 2500) 😡
I added upfitter switches to my trailboss before I even added my off-road lights. Lol. The Aux 5 wire ends by the third break light. It’s for the roof beacon but under the dash it should be the light green and dark green striped wire going from the upfitter fusebox into the grey connector, at least it is on mine. You can depin it from that connector or just put a T-tap right there if you need the 5th aux
I don’t even own a truck like this and I enjoyed this video. I appreciate detailed videos cause so many people don’t say enough! Love the carbon fiber wrapped trim too😮💨
Rough country has a wireless option as well. I had the switch wired in before I found it. I use it for my light bar. Gives the strobe option as well. Has a nice key fob.
I believe aux5 is a green wire with a blue leader that is actually run above the headliner to the brake light above the rear window. It’s intended to be for a rooftop emergency light or other additional lighting on the roof of the truck
I want to do this upfitter to my truck but I had no idea I had to pull that much interior just to get it in. I love the carbon wrap looks fantastic. Very nice details.
Per your question, I love this level of detail that you documented for the project. Gives me the security to know I am not stumbling into the abyss when I install similar items and also...it's downright interesting. Love your videos. Thank you!
The Upfitter was on of the best updates to make. Next on your list, unless I am wrong and you have that option would be the HD Mirror. Super easy. Compared to the Upfitter install, the HD Mirror install is a cake walk. In my opinion everyone with a newer model Silverado should really look at it. With the Upfitter though, all kinds of different options.
This video helped, I wouldn't have imagined I'd need to take half the dash apart but after having done it, there is something to be said for the dude that just cut the hole in his existing dash (very carefully) and stuck the switch in...
just a heads up switch number 5 runs to the third brake light to run a roof top caution light bar. or what ever you hook up to the wires that terminate there
I remember when the lower kick panel was the first thing that had to come off the dash. The good old days. Adding any electrical accessories now appears to be a pain in the dick if you have to disassemble have to truck to get under the dash to run wires.
@@LonestarHawaiian aboslutely bro. Just got me a Silverado and i want to lift it up maybe a few inches, bigger wheels and all. Been watching a ton of vids on it. Also showed my bro how you wrapped the interior, i want to do it to mine also. Its a wood like but i want it black carbon.
Always good videos dude! I'm fixing to install this on a 23' . Looks about the same. Dreading all the trim pieces I have to unclip. I may be rewatching this a few hundred times the next few days. Lol
Everyone has their way of running wire through the firewall grommets. But i’ve always made a little puncture hole (using a pick or needle), you end up with a little better seal around the wire than you would with a slit. I’ve had slits tear open more than I have with a pin hole. But you’re rarely going to be in situations where water is going to get inside because of that i guess… IMO the switch panel little lights would look better if they matched the other lights
Nice work with the clips! I hate that stupid push button as well. I may go this route eventually, but putting a different switch in before. Keep the content coming buddy!
Thank you for showing this mod, I put lights on the rear of my TrailBoss which is activitied when I put in reverse because I didn't want to cut or drill a hole in the dashboard. But now that you showed this, I've got to get it👍🏾
Dude, you could have just used the new knee bolster as a stencil like I did to cut the hole in the original bolster...this is what I did...I didn't need to take any of those panels off!....I even squeezed the 2 screws in for the fuse box without taking that bolster off all the way...the whole job took me 45 minutes...and it looks just as good as yours.
@Lonestar Hawaiian Good morning! I finished my upfitter install yesterday thanks to your video. I also have the Rough Country grille LEDs and was wondering if you only attached the blue wire to blue wire and got it to work for switch # 1? What about the power wire on the battery and then the interior black and white wires from the LED lights? Did you just tape them up or connect them to something as well?
Really want these switches but don’t want to tear the whole dash apart. Could you order just the switches and wiring harness and cut a hole in the existing dash? Or just take the switches out of the new dash piece and cut the hole in existing dash without taking it out of the truck.
I don't understand what the 200 amp fuse is for. It is connected to a crimp wire connector. But a wire isn't even crimped on to the connector. Unless a device is used for a heavy load is the 200 amp even necessary?
You did a great job but after watching this. No way I’m spending 6 hours tearing into my new 3500! For 90k It should have came with those to begin with. And I’d prefer to have them by the garage door opener’s. All the garbage GM put under the steering wheel you almost have to come to a dead stop to find them safely! Dig the wrap also!! That’s probably something more in on my level if I screw it I can just start over again 🙏👍
But if you use a oscillating multi tool and follow the dimensions on the hole for the switch you can do this on your existing trim piece. that's what I did and it was all done including wiring in about 1 hour.
@@FUIKO1963 Wondering if you bought the wiring harness separately also? I like your idea, there’s no way I would attempt to take everything apart …I’d have lots of broken stuff for sure!
Glad to see you add some color accents. All this blacking out everything is getting boring, it makes the truck look like a base model. Especially black wheels.
Love your videos! i'm getting ideas for my tahoe i will someday get built by gm. In the video, you mention having room for activities with those extra aux buttons. Do you have any ideas on what those may entail? I was thinking you need a light bar along the roofline, and possibly some more lighting for around the sides or back for night time offroad activities?
I did the same install over the weekend on my 3500. I cheated though. I cut the pattern out of 1/8" plastic with my laser engraver. I taped it to the knee booster with two sided tape and used an ossilating cutter to cut the hole. All together it took me about 1-1/2 hours to install.
Great, I’ve been considering doing this for a while and now they’ll all be out of stock and prices are going to skyrocket lol. No lie, I was pretty excited to see this since I’ve been wanting to do it myself. Thanks for the video!
In the video you mentioned there is a relay on the auxiliary light. With there being relays in the fuse block of the upfitter switch kit can the relay for the auxiliary lights be eliminated?
I may have missed it… Your led lights have a relay.. does that mean that the power and ground wire are separate from the switch? Are the power and ground hooked to the battery? That’s why only the blue switch wire is connected to the upfitter?
Your TB is sick! Molding mine similar. Question: Did you tie in your fascia lights to the fogs? Could you wire the fascia lights to this as well? Here in VA they got some crazy rules with lights. Thanks man and keep up the great content on the TB. That truck looks so good!

The 5th switch is for a lightbar/beacon on the roof. My 2020 has the factory wiring harness above the headliner,behind the 3rd brake light.

I don’t even own a truck like this and I enjoyed this video. I appreciate detailed videos cause so many people don’t say enough! Love the carbon fiber wrapped trim too😮💨
5th is in the 3rd brake light thinking it for those yellow lights on top of work trucks...but i think it would look for led rack lights..
Rough country has a wireless option as well. I had the switch wired in before I found it. I use it for my light bar. Gives the strobe option as well. Has a nice key fob.
Switch number 2 would be a good switch for a train horn compressor! Trust me, you won’t know how you ever lived without it.
Of all the automobile related channels I subscribe to, yours has THE BEST music.
I believe aux5 is a green wire with a blue leader that is actually run above the headliner to the brake light above the rear window. It’s intended to be for a rooftop emergency light or other additional lighting on the roof of the truck
Im glad to see that at the very least, most of the clips are made with metal, rather than platic, like most cars have
Perfect amount of detail. Keep doing what youre doing!
Number 5 switch comes out in the third brake light.
Don’t change how u do ur videos, they are perfect. Love the detail. Love the realness and again the detail bro. Legit! Let’s goooooooo
5th one goes up by the third break light
I want to do this upfitter to my truck but I had no idea I had to pull that much interior just to get it in. I love the carbon wrap looks fantastic. Very nice details.

can anyone direct me to the video where he adds the teal accents near his head light and rims?
Can you explain how you hooked up the wires to the relay? For the life of me I’m stuck trying to wire my two light bars up 🤦🏻♂️
Great video. Do you have to tear apart the dash every time you want to add an activity?
Nope. All the AUX wires are now ready to go 🔥
Awesome look. Now you just need to update the gauge cluster.
Possibly add some rock lights or undercarriage lighting to use the fifth switch for on your panel.
Love the content keep it up! Now i need to wrap my interior truck too 😄 Look very good!
🤙🏽🤙🏽
Nice upgrade Brother. You would greatly appreciate a kit with shrinkwrap and soldering iron tighten up your wire connecting game. Great video!
Love the extra details. This is so very helpful as I am getting ready to add this to my truck. Thank you!!
Great job on the install. I really enjoy your video. It’s hard work but you make it look fun.

I ended up just snipping a small slit in the grommet 🤙🏽 also why I needed some WD40 to get it in there 😅
im glad i ordered my 2022 with this already installed

You know it's a lot easier to remove the outside vents then to do them on the truck. There like 3 t10 screws and plastic clips
One of those buttons could be for your Power Steps. Could the center console buttons be used that are not currently in use?
You should look at s pods have one in my 2009 chevy only one wie goes in truck every thing else stays under hood check them out.

Leave it to the gm engineers to make a 15 min task a whole tear down! Hopefully these new trucks dash don’t crack as easy as our 08s.
Were did you get that ocean wrap love that color
It’s actually a custom color. I ordered 20+ samples from everywhere and couldn’t find the “right” color
@@LonestarHawaiian it looks really good on the truck
Nice job...looks awesome!
Nicely done Sir !
I'm pretty sure the aux switches add anywhere between 5 and 10 hp as well.
I was told 10-15… gains are gains.
#5 goes to 3rd brake light
Really want these switches but don’t want to tear the whole dash apart. Could you order just the switches and wiring harness and cut a hole in the existing dash? Or just take the switches out of the new dash piece and cut the hole in existing dash without taking it out of the truck.

You should ocean blue the bowtie on the steering wheel too...just a thought 🤷♂️
Very nice! You should've wrapped the wire under the hood in the carbon fiber too lol thanks for sharing

changing the frame rate on your camera could stop the flashing appearance on the trucks leds when filming

The old switch for lights was it a one or 2 wire switch? Understand you hooked the blue to switch positive, what about switch ground?
I know it isn’t this video, but I wondered on your other 1500 did you have any problems with any gas coming inside the cab from the exhaust dump.
I was worried about that at first but no issues. Dumped right at the rear axle was far enough away from the cab

Looks great, nice job
any advice how to install the trailer brake control to the Aux panel???
Is there a reason you’re not running the RC lower fascia lights too? Or did I miss something?.
