BADLANDINDUSTRIES.com After 25000 miles I thought I'd have a look back to what we thought we were going to do with the truck and how that's changed over the last 2 years. Maybe we made a mistake. Should we have bought a different trim or maybe a Colorado instead? Every other 25k mile review video is going sound like "we like it but this broke" and I didn't want this one to be another boring video on YouTube. This trucks role in our family has changed drastically. We now have 2 kiddos and our life looks a bit different now. I'd be lying if I said the parts I currently make would have been thought up if the way we use the truck hadn't changed. I off-road it way more than I thought. Probably cause the Badlander isn't anywhere near done yet. Surprise I know... Towing really wasn't a thing I did much but with the last round of mods on the truck it's actually enjoyable to tow with even at it's upper limit. Unfortunately I didn't do the greatest job filming while on our little trip. I ended up enjoying relaxing with the family and maybe that was the point all along. The Canyon got us to a pretty awesome campground and allowed us to relax with a nice big camper trailer. Something else I'm not very good at... relaxing. Enjoy the video and maybe this perspective will help you guys pick your next vehicle with a little more foresight. At the end of the day were usually stuck with these vehicles for a while and it's a big commitment along with the big price tag. Buying the vehicle that will accommodate your lifestyle and use case could be the difference of buying the right truck you get to mod and fine tune with mods and getting the wrong vehicle you hate because it can't tow that new bass boat or you can't take wheeling cause you're getting into off-road exploring... I'm not gonna be like these other YouTubers selling their vehicle and just buying another project for the views. I'm in it for the long haul cause we love this truck and love how it's really working well with how we use it now.

Badlandindustries.com Performance both on and off road for your Colorado, Canyon, and H3 Ever since I saw these Boost Auto mirrors become available I wanted a set but there was a pretty serious feature lacking I wasn't willing to loose once I installed them. That is the side cameras in my trucks 360 camera system. Sure, I'd still have the front and rear cameras, but I'd like to have full functionality. I figured out a solution and decided id shoot a video helping you guys overcome likely a similar objection to purchasing these mirrors as I did. Boost Auto did send these out to me for a previous towing prep video and I expressed my concern for this lack of a feature and they didn't seem to want to make any accommodations to make the factory cameras work. Thankfully I'm stubborn and creative and i think i have come up with the simplest solution for getting the cameras to work inside of the Boost auto Towing Mirrors.
