Newbie Here - Lots of Questions.........!

Thanks. Seller said it came from a Silverado. Not quite as fitting
as an original console, but it's growing on me.........

The PPV trucks don't come with an original console. That area is intentionally left open to accommodate the police laptop, etc...

The jump-seat/console you have is an excellent one that goes for about $300-$400+ CDN on the used market. I paid about $140 CDN for my 2 cup holder jump-seat/console.

Found a guy who is scrapping an '08 LTZ. I'm buying 2 front door panels, 2 post pillars and 2 lift gate panels to replace ones I have that are holed. Sadly, his grille and bumper are modified. He's selling me all 6 parts for less than one door panel from a dealer, so I think I'm getting a pretty good price........

How modified are they? Tasteful?

Welcome aboard Steve, How about some pics of those holes and panels and the strange hose. I believe they all come with the extra battery tray, at least mine did.

Mine didn't come with an extra battery tray *pout* ... but SSV

Engine compartment with 2nd battery tray and the
strange hose that seems to go nowhere - perhaps a breather - but for what ? Also looks like I got a block heater.

Where is the other end of that hose going? Might be a vent hose, Jeep people do that all the time for keeping water out of transfercase and transmission.

Pfffft, who would ever do such a thing?

*lol* I would.. train horns, but on my Jeep, that one has air already.

Not to my liking - I would like a direct grille replacement in chrome.
Apparently, there's no engine or tranny on this one as of late and
I don't know when the pic was taken. Hope the deal goes through.

Check out the Sticky at the top of this subforum, I was in your shoes last Fall when I bought my first Tahoe SSV, lots of good info there to make it more "civilized".

Thanks JMM.
The only thing I really miss regarding electronics is the horn sounding when locking it.

Picked up four of these civi wheels with Fierce 285/50/20's.
Hope they fit - it's not the diameter, but the width that
has me concerned. I'll post pics after install
on the truck.........
