Don, appreciate you going out of your way to help 2 stranded motorists, you earned some cool points definitely with that! Please cash in the cool points for your next upgrade! All the best and stay warm. Thanks, Brian
😂 i was in a cool points deficit, so this helps!
What a great human you are helping the 2 stranded vehicles but specially those “love” duty 😊. And to top it off having nothing but fun making an AT4 snowman
Thanks for checking it out!
Good husband and dad with awesome big toys. I add this also i watched the whole video and you were in the right place at the right time to help those stranded drivers. Keep up the great work!! 😇👍
Thanks so much!
Love the content, Don!
I grew up in a northern clime and I remember these days well. I had a lifted Chevy with 40" tires back then, this stuff didn't faze me.
I've since moved away to Florida over 38 years ago so the memory trip is always great to watch!
Thanks! :)
Thank you
I will continue to make videos like these from time to time of people enjoy them
Don you are definitely a cool guy, you are a blessing. Also, snow is meant to be played in, you would definitely see me doing the same thing.
If this video isn't the BEST add for why we should by a GMC truck, I dont know what would. ❤❤❤ greatly done. Pushing the limits. Love it.
Great video! It was awesome to see you yank out stranded cars. Easy work for your truck!
Ha ha thanks Chris! ✌️
You did well, Sir !
I also like to drive in severed snowstorms, but we did not get any major snowstorms in Quebec so far, but winter isn't over yet.
A dopamine rush for sure 👍. Thank for watching!
Great vid, as per usual. If/when you do decide to part ways with this truck I'd love the opportunity to get a shot at it. I currently own (bought it new) a 2019 AT4 with a few mods installed, all inspired by you and your channel. However, it pales in comparison to what yours looks like and I'm envious to the point that I want yours.
Please keep me in mind, because we all know at some point you're going to want to take on your next project, requiring you to part ways with your AT4 and I'm seriously interested.
Keep up the great content (and public service).
Wow very nice video your truck is amazing brother 👍👍👍
Love the videos. I just purchased a 22 AT4 and started looking at some videos for some stuff I'd like to do with it when i stumbled across your content! Im pretty sure we live in the same city too!
Right on!
Some really nice shots in this. Very cool.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great Job Don! Thanks!
my pleasure!
I can definitely relate to this video I live in Manitoba also drive a truck and happen to have just gone to Michael's and Shoppers for my wife.
😂
Dude this was so awesome!!
Thanks man. I appreciate it
I LOVE big snow storms!!
I don’t mind a few until it starts melting and creating a mess
Excellent content, and very motivating! If any, which tow straps and tie downs would you recommend? I also have an AT4 1500, just with the LZ0.
Is there a list of upgrades you did for you truck. Really interested in the light bar above the bed. I couldn't find one that fits over the bed cover. Thank you.
Don. Your videos are awesome. What tires are on your truck?
Thanks Robert! Toyo Open Country AT3s
Upgraded Wheels & Tires for the GMC Sierra AT4: Mount, Balance, Review

@@Donslifesorry Don. I missed that episode with the new tires and wheels. How do you like them in the snow? Are they really loud on the highway? I’ll be replacing the stock Bridgestone Dueler AT this summer on my LTZ.
I definitely need to get some kinetic straps put into my truck. It's my first year having a truck and absolutely love it. Unfortunately mine does not have the amazing sound of the 6.2. But I do get a cool turbski sound from the new 2.7 GMC
Thanks for checking out the video sir
I enjoy the whistle of the turbo as well
Are you happy with the 1.5 spacers? Would 2.0 have been better? Thanks in advance. Great channel.
Yes I am. As for which is better, I think it depends on what you’re trying to achieve. Depending on the wheels, introducing spacers may create rubbing and the need to trim things. I am running a 2” right now since these wheels didn’t come in the offset (at the time) that I wanted. They do now. But I had to trim and tuck some things in the front to help with clearance. 1.5” on my stock 18” wheels were perfect, but I wanted bigger tires and quieter tires.
Sounds good. I’m sticking with my stock 18’s so I’ll go with the 1.5. Thanks again for all the great info.
I just recently discovered your channel and I really enjoy your videos. I have a 2020 elevation and I have been always thinking about put some 1 1/2" spacers just for the look to the wheels but still don't know if it is a good idea , I have heard many different opinions. I saw your video doing it and I like it... do you think is ok, you still keep them on your truck, what is your opinion? Keep the good job and thanks so much.
2:32 - Leaving wiper blades in the upward position for a long time can permanently stretch the springs.
Yes sir, but I will continue to do it storms.
+21c on Wednesday here in SWO. I was sweating a bit washing my truck. It was terrible 😂I
I sweat washing my truck when it’s 15°C 😂 A person gets so climatized, it changes the definition of what’s considered warm weather or cold weather.
@@Donslife Beast 😂
Great guy you are man! Sweet truck too.
My gmc I try to make it look like yours. Always giving me ideas. I like the rack bar in the back where did you get that?
Thanks man. There are a few videos, but it isn’t available for all vehicles yet:

@@Donslife I don't see any on the site that fits my gmc?
You are awesome!!!!
You too!! Thanks for watching!
Watched a video of you changing shocks thanks for that . And this seconded video is a bit different but can guess you live in grand prairie?
I lived in GP many years ago
I’ve been thinking about a kinetic tow rope lately. Chain guy for ever but they are heavy.
Frozen chains aren’t fun to work with either
What a good Samaritan
4 Low or 4 High when pulling them out
4 high when pulling out in these cases plus I didn’t have weight in the back
Hey how is it going just wondering if you still have the spacers on your wheels still?
Yes I do. Going just fine
Thank you for the reply
Hey Don, Did you install a catch can UPR to this truck? Aka I have a 5.3 new relative low miles wondering if I should install it, have you encounter any problem? How has been working for you on your experience? Thank you!
Yes I installed one. No problems. I installed a drain hose too so I didn’t have to empty the can in the winter. Instead when the engine is hot, I can drain it behind the passenger front wheel into a container by opening a spigot.
There are 4 videos covering the journey. Here is one of the more recent ones : Solved the Oil Catch Can / Separator Issue!

Thank you @@Donslife
is the 2009 gmc serria a good year ? what year is your gmc at4
My AT4 is a 2021. I had a 2013 Denali and found it to be a solid truck
What kind of weight are you putting in the bed? I know the heavy kind.) I used to plow snow for the state. Yes I’m the guy with all the salt. I’ve seen enough snow between Michigan and Illinois thank you. It was more fun the younger you are.
Thanks for watching. Usually a few sandbags over rear axle and a full tank of gas
Do the led lights get iced up
Nope. Brush them off, if ever. If we had more freezing rain then everything would ice up. We get too cold the snow just piles up but the LEDs don’t get warm enough to melt the snow
@@Donslife Ok that sounds good thank you for the quick response and all your amazing videos explaining your improvements to your truck. I also love that you are from Canada it really lets me trust you and your reviews
That is amazing. It looks fun driving there is a UA-cam video of Regina SK a Cadillac escalade drives off the ring road Bridge onto Victoria Street must been thinking its a 4wd it could handle it it comes down hard the front wheel bust on the car its a veiw from a big rig driver cam a heated driveway in SK would be nice thing
Oh wow!
Nice, you didn't have to plug it in or wasn't cold enough out there?
Luckily just snowy and cold but not deathly cold
Not even close to the snowstorm of 2007…. The snow was 10 ft high 0n major city roads. Snowmobiles everywhere. I still have the pics from it
I was there, it definitely crippled the city in January 2007. Similar snowfall then with 36cm and 30-45cm this March of 2024. I think what made 2007 worse was that the wind was quite a bit higher too. Plus this recent one gave us a 6-8 hour break from more snow
Wait, you live in Canada?!? 😉
