hey everyone my name is brian. i have a 96 bravada completely stock. does anyone no why there are no brands that make a light bar or a grille gaurd for the 96 and 97 bravadas or blazers. i couldnt find any for either just for the 98 and newer ones and i dont know why. also ive been hearing a clicking noise underneath and it happens in reverse and drive. it clicks a couple of times then pops. then it keeps clicking. i thought it could be the transfer case but when i changed the fluid all the fluid was clean with no metal shavings. could this also be the u joint. im going to try to make this car really nice and any help would be much appreciated thank you everyone.

you should be able to use a 98+ grille guard with the 95-97s and be just fine, as far as the clicking, ive got no clue, someone zip strip your driveshaft?

You should be able to do something yourself. This is what I did.

well actually i wanted to make it so that it mounts kind of on the bumper but i didnt really like the whole idea of drilling into it. if it was metal i wouldnt have a problem. thanks for both your ideas though. o and one more thing would you be able to put a blazer tcase underneath or wouldnt it bolt up to the 96 bravada. the only real reason is because i want the 4 lo. even though the awd seems to get me through alot in the woods.
thanks everyone

well theres metal in the bumper as well, you would just be drilling into a bumper cover, then the real bumper, but it should have bars about where the frame horns are to mount the bumper to
