New to the site and new to SSV Tahoes

I like the color on your SSV!!

Thank you. I am not sure what exact color green it is. It looks just like the green they use on Highway signs. Makes me wonder if Vermont state troops hid behind signs with it.



OK I know what color it is now. Was going through the RPO codes. 9V5--COLOR COMBINATION,WOODLAND GREEN

I like it I have a CJ5 that is just a shade darker. *grin* would be fun if it was the same green as the HWY signs... one could see you a mile away and probably cause UFO sightings *lol*

It looks nice and shiny too.

I think the interior isn't bad for a cop used truck. Since buying it though the dash cracked in 3 places and those weren't there when I bought it. But It has all the small holes in the dash. I added a Trailer brake controller to it. Might do some towing with it this year if I don't sell my race car. Don't mind the back being dirty, I use the truck right now to get my firewood from my backyard storage spot.

Question for some of you guys. IN the plastic just behind the back seat and in front of the back door. There is a hole on both sides. Would this be for a gate to separate the front and back? You can sort of see the hole in the back picture.

The high vis vest is because I work in construction to.

Welcome and nice unique truck! I believe the holes you're talking about are for the cargo cover.

Thank you. I like to do detailing. I don't do it for a business but was thinking about doing a start up business since I bought my house and have a garage now. I was just restoring a 81 mustang last year. This was the hood. I bought this car from a friend and sat for 13 years in his driveway and. He pulled the motor and trans in 2013 to rebuild it. But never did and I bought the car from him and went through the whole car.

It really didn't have much of a shine to it. I spent many hours and many steps trying to bring the paint back. To bad some of the clear coat was already peeling off.

Hope you guys don't get mad that I posted this. I just love doing it and find it so relaxing and I always love seeing the results after. I'll will redo the Tahoe in spring.

I don't seethe holes. I did see that you have the nice radio though, with the navigation?

Ah those holes, yes they are for a cargo cover. I had one in a Jeep GC, they seem nice, but are annoying, one good bump, the thing comes loose and it scares the hell out of you (also it is a pain to get them rewound again)

The tow button on your shifter is like an O/D button. If you push it, it will keep you in 5th instead of shifting into 6th while pulling a hill. Great for towing to bring the load down on the engine while pulling a hill or decelerating
