    My O8' Tahoe U.S. Canadian Border Patrol rig.

    Mine is above. Jason, Mine appears to be a discontinued Westin grille guard. I do like the Westin unit because the eye guards shape to the body very well. close to the current 57-3665 from what I can tell? It also appears Ranch Hand see pic below makes one similar, but not knowing how the eye...

    New to buying a Tahoe

    My .02, The condition you are buying it in i.e. leaks, fluid conditions, is just as important or more in some cases. Things as they become worm out tend to discolor the fluids much earlier, and the proper levels are a tell tale sign as well. Low fluid levels are just as bad or worse when it...

    If you could, I think seeing the differences in our rpo codes would be interesting for all of us on here.

    Got it, either way you got a nice rig, and customizing it for your own use is the cats meow. When you find that push bar you are looking for, It will set it off even more. Did you throw away the custom lift you said came with it? Also our skid plate system NZZ coded may be unique to the civilian...

    JK, Your skid plate system is common to mine as well. not sure off road wise if we we're different at all? I have the brush guard still that could be what you had as well, but was removed. That would also explain the lack of your Tow Hooks.

    My O8' Tahoe U.S. Canadian Border Patrol rig.

    Got it, I understand. Again, It's not an SSV code, I posted it. I know I get the SSV community here. But I quoted what this area was looking to help with for knowledge and it stated also "other government owned" fleet purchases and returning them to civilian life so here I am. IF it doesn't...

    My O8' Tahoe U.S. Canadian Border Patrol rig.

    Good point, SSV not coded here. A regular LS Tahoe? Nope GAM coded. Only Government ordered. That could have had other items ordered that made it eligible for use as only a non civilian owned LS Tahoe. It is a retired Border Patrol rig. Codes FLT, GAM, as well. I'm also the first person to title...

    Thanks, Yeah with the deer rutting season in Central Oregon, you'll be glad you have something like that on the front bumper at least. Plus if you see what happened to my other Tahoe, it's just added insurance, not mandatory by any means. :-)

    Hey thanks I appreciate it. With this new one it has a few more options as well. off the the top of my head, DIC, Better tires Discoverer ST Maxx, and 30K less miles on the Tahoe.

    My O8' Tahoe U.S. Canadian Border Patrol rig.

    It does good for a 6,000 lb package going down the road. With 4.10's my Rpm's 2K @ 65mph, And 2250 @ 72 ish mph. That's running stock size tires as well. Living In Pacific Northwest, and traveling over the Cascade mountain passes at least every two months. It's certainly a benefit having...
