G'day Peter,
I put my brake controller under dash to left of steering wheel. UHF i fitted to side panel passenger side next to transmission select stick. I have a 2014 Colorado twin cab.

Yes Peter but nothing too serious.
I had 'Clearview Mirrors' fitted as I am on road full time and much better view and no need to take off all the time.
I had an extra leaf fitted to both rear springs to add strength to rear end. It also raised the back up 2" that I wanted and added 200kg to payload in rear but not legal at the time of fitting so I still travel with listed weight in book knowing that extra is there if the road is bouncy etc.
I also had a 'Fuel Manager' pre fuel filter fitted in case of any dirty fuel etc getting in.
I also have a bull bar fitted that the UHF antenna is fitted plus a LED light bar. The Tub has a genuine Holden Canopy but I should have gone with aluminium tray and aluminium canopy (shed) as I find it difficult to get things in and out down the cab end.
I am very happy with my Collie and there wouldn't be all that much difference between the 2014 and 2015.
One thing I miss though is the 2014 doesn't have a hi flow diesel inlet but I made up an adaptor that gets me out of trouble when need be.
I have a 2015 Colorado .
