Krampus, 2004 GMC Cayon
Here is my ride. It’s a 2004 GMC Canyon RWD with the 3.5l inline 5 cylinder.
When I first got it, it was bone stock. Only upgrades it had was a single din head unit and A.R.E. fiberglass bed cover.
I started off with a double din head unit and backup camera.
Added 4 Mictuning C1s under the cab and wasn’t happy with it so I added 8 Mictuning C2s in the wheel wells and under the bumpers. That of course changed to the 24 Mictuning C2 Solid Red lights (2 in the grill and under each bumper, 3 in each wheel well and 6 under the cab). I upgraded the headlights to back housing with LED DRLs. Also with all my added electrical I installed a Big 3 Upgrade kit for better electrical flow.
My first set of train horns were from Uncle Sam’s Road that my wife got for me. Small 2 liter tank and 4 bells. I added a Horn blasters Black Widow Valve and it made a difference. I upgraded the tank to a used 5 gallon tank and constant duty compressor. I upgraded the horns to the Horn blasters Shocker XL 6 bell set I bought off another member.
Performance wise I have a K&N cold air intake and MBRP cat back exhaust. I also deleted my front cat with no codes. I added a catch can on the intake side to catch oil blowby as that is an issue with my motor, hoping to keep the throttle body cleaner than it has been and smooth out idle.Fun wise I added a 4 sound Horn from Boom Blasters that I can program 4 different sounds on. I also installed a Police PA System that I can attach my phone to. I can also wire it into my stereo but haven’t gone that far yet.
My truck has a basic tune from Nelson Performance to smooth out my shift point and took my passlock issue off. With passlock my truck would not start and I would have to wait 10 minutes before trying to start again.
Lift wise I have a Badland Industries 3 inch torsion bar lift. Basically call it is, Silverado torsion keys to go higher in the front, 3 in shackles on the leaf springs and a ball joint flip on the upper control arms.
Wheel wise I have Vision D Window Black in 16×8 -12mm wrapped in Toyo Open Country A/T III265/75/R16.
Future upgrades:
-Bigger wheel and tires, MAX I can do is 35s with light trimming
-Maybe more lights (y’all know I’m always adding more)-Finish wiring PA system and add in a 2nd Horn for it
-Buy a new grill and properly black it out.
-Wire my DRLs to be switchback
-Upgrade tail lights to LED
-Paint or wrap the truck as the clear coat is fading and peeling.
-Swap out my front seats for H3 leather seats, and swap out my cluster for a H3 cluster.
-Install an aftermarket steering wheel
-Upgrade the radiator and change it from a belt driven fan to an e-fan
-Upgrade the alternator

Here are a few pics of the various stages my truck has gone through. I’m bad about taking pics of my own truck.
