Hi Sparks, just wondering if you could give us a review of those ditch lights? Do they block your view much? I've seen some that look like those from Rough Country.
Mine are from Caliraised in Fort Worth. They’re not in the line of sight at all.

I have another pair for thethirdtwin, but haven’t mounted them yet.

Off then on with the headlights.

Just the ditch lights.

Test run late at night. These work great to see kamikaze deer.

Awesome! Just what I am looking for. Even driving through the yard when it's dark, can't really see where I'm turning.
Your ditchlight only pic looks brighter than your headlights and ditchlights pic!

Don't see it available on caliraised site, was looking at light mounts for a silverado on the rough country site.. Hoping these will work...

The mounting brackets are a challenge to find for Tahoes. I found the pair for thecopcar on Amazon. Those appear to be no longer available. I found a set that fit thethirdtwin from Apoc. For the K2 models the hood hinges don’t seem to be the same as for the pickup models. Go figger.

Found these brackets..

Look the same as many on amazon. Looks the best to me because of the little offset jog.. hoping it clears the rubber slot flaps..

Sorry for the thread drift opfor2! Will review these brackets in the mega-thread once I get them.

My DL brackets did not clear the rubber grommets in the slots I had to remove them from the hinge cover panels.

As mention in the title, I purchased a 2011 Border Patrol Build Chevy Tahoe SSV today. I purchased it from Convoy Motors ( https://www.convoymotors.com) in National City by San Diego for $9000.00 out the door including tax and DMV fees. This Tahoe is all armored up underneath and has hood vents. The drive home over 100 miles was uneventful. So far the all the issues that I see are cosmetic. One question I do have right now is how did you all seal the 2 inch hole that is on the roof were the light bar wires came through? (see pic)
likewise. has been a great vehicle. same hood vents, under plate, etc. i had to restore window and lock control to rear doors. well maintained ssv, no dents or rust. added top carrier. bought in 2018 with 89k miles.
