1996 jimmy grille guard

juddspaintballs · 06-03-2006, 02:30 AM

jc whitney has grille guards for 95-97 blazers (the cheaper grille guards, not the $600 ones) but for some reason not the jimmys. is there something really different that would make the blazer guard not fit on my jimmy? i ordered one anyways figuring I own a cutting torch and a DC welder, i could modify it to fit if I must. just wondering why they wouldnt list one for the jimmy but they do for a blazer (and it's not just because they only did the chevy models, they listed other year jimmys too)

blazer/jimmy/bravada/s10/sonoma front ends are all the same (with minor grille difference)... So even if if says made for a blazer, it will mount up to the jimmy just fine.

thats what I was thinking. but my headlights are different than any 96 blazer or jimmy or bravada that I've seen. take a look, my headlights are inset

Those are just the standard recessed lights... It will still work fine...(Though you can convert easily enough to the composite headlights or even to the 98+ grille and headlights if you want)

oooooh, I like the idea of converting up. The normal headlights look better than the recessed. I'll stop by a coupla junkyards and see what I can acquire.
