dub_02 · 02-03-2006, 09:53 AM

tryin to come up with some nice exterior mods for a 97 bravada with smarttrack. also, where are you able to buy the parts and the price?

open to suggestions!

lookin for grilles, hoods, drop kits

also, how big of wheels can you fit on a 97 bravada with smarttrack?

pics are always a plus as well

id say convert to 98+ GMC Sonoma/Jimmy Grille/headlights, that 97 was hideous IMO

is there a tech write up on the conversion?

i have seen people with the grille conversion, but sure what all is required to do it though. i know you need the sonoma grille, not sure what years, and not sure if any modifications need to be made to make it fit.

just lookin for some writeups so i can read and try to pick it up, and get it done.

what all is needed/will work for the front end/headlight conversion? i mean specific make models, years etc.

will look into the front end conversion and upgrade to better/brighter headlights and such.

thanks

well to convert to new body style jimmy/sonoma...you need wiring for the headlights....core suport, headlights/bulbs, grille and it would be smart to get the new bumper cover..../hood...but i think thats optional -

years would be 98-2003, for new front end...there is a tutorial in the how to section on this forum...

ooooh and the front end im talking about is the one you see in my sig (only diff is my headlights are cleared of the yellow)

ok, well is there a write up on how to clear out the Amber? i was reading about sticking them in the oven or something like that?

also, another thing i noticed, there a button for fog/driving lights, but there arent any on the front end, and there is not an opening in the bumper for any... i thought they came standard?

if not, what would be a good recommendation on some to get, and best way to put them in. weather its kinda cut/hack to make them fit, or try to pick up a factory bumper with OEM cutouts.

thanks
