2010 ex CBP Tahoe (Montana) View attachment 354881

Looks great. I’ve been thinking about going back to the BP look on my 2010.

Something about a trimmed down front bumper. I just that look haha
Could you get some close-up shots of under the bumper where it meets the front section of the frame?

I can get a couple more pics next time I climb under the truck

I like the look, I plan on keeping it as close to the way CBP ran it as I can

@Bill 1960 did close to that with his SSV.

Building the SS(V) TrailHoe

I decided late in 2020 I was ready to build another project. I’d been out shopping Wranglers again, and once again decided they lack the road comfort we like in a trail runner. We spend a significant part of each year traveling North America exploring remote areas and 4x4 trails. I like...

Thanks man, I appreciate the time and effort

I still have my full skids and Baja style front skid under a factory bumper. Still have the suspension pieces I took off too.

It only took me about an hour with a skillsaw plus a little detail work with a hacksaw blade. Of course it helped that whoever put a complete grill/bumper on it before they sold it didn’t reinstall all the missing lower brackets from the original chop job.

I like the looks of those push bars some of you have but I don’t run one because I can’t lose the approach angle.

The brackets under the chin are for flat towing behind the motorhome.

Awesome truck and build thread!

I'm not sure why CBP would chop the bumper and then use a push bar that is so low to the ground but it does look cool

They didn’t, literally have never seen an actual BP Tahoe with a cut bumper and a push bar.

Washed my 'almost' 250k shitbox on Sunday.

 

[Ilikemtb999]

Interesting, I’ve only ever seen them on uncut bumpers. Looks better without it and a cut bumper by far. Mine didn’t appear to ever have a push bar or ranch hand but has a mount on the bottom of the bumper support for what looked like a light bar.

When did you remove the running boards? Looks slick!

Pretty early on. I cleaned up the running boards really good, then applied a bedliner to them. They looked pretty good, like they were shiny and new all the time, but I just didn't like it after all the work. Took them off and never looked back, I think it cleans the whole look up a bunch.

Got my 2010 a few weeks ago. It’s a little rough cosmetically, but only 84k miles.

Yeah, gotta do something about that discoloration on the running board.

Do you know what agency she was with?

 

[steve671]

I hear ya, the running boards are not in good shape. I was able to find out that it was with Union City PD its whole life; Far enough away from snow and ocean so no rust. Plan for now is leather seats, console, power folding mirrors, and a stereo.

I was pulling your leg. Looks great.
mine looked as good until I started running off-road. Then pinstripes…

I also built a console.

14 Tahoe PPV.....ready for summer!!View attachment 77256

Does anyone know if this one is lowered, or factory PPV height?

 

[RichardCranium]

Definitely looks lowered, at least in the rear. Can you post a direct profile picture? If it has stock LCA's, the rear wheels will be moved forward a little if it is indeed lowered.
