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.

I’ve got tow hooks, mine had a cut bumper, lift springs and a strut spacer too. Used to have a cage in back as well. Now it’s lowered 2/3” with a full bumper. 85442967-7427-4A8F-9BC5-77A44DF4A397.jpeg

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 NZZ skid plate system. Because, the last Tahoe I had was also (FLT, GAM) That I totaled also had the same exact skid plates as ours. So for informational purposes, I would say on Border Patrol rigs. North or South these skid plates are out there. We can converse off topic as well. :) Merry Christmas everyone.

RPO code NZZ is a civilian code for the factory skid plate kit as my Sierra had it. I don’t think there’s an rpo code for any of the upfitting since it wasn’t ordered that way. Mine certainly was worked on at Baja fabrications (yours might of been as well, hard to tell if our skids look the same 100%. I have the springs and blocks in my garage. They may go back in at some point, I already have a lifted vehicle so I wanted something lowered.

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

Here’s mine. The oddball rpo code I’m missing is a g80. I confirmed it’s open and then bought a Yukon unit for it.

By chance you would not know what company made the front guard?

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 guards fit to the body lines is an unknown to me. That's all I know today, I hope this helps you.
