i just got my rhino grill today and will be installing it tomorrow. from reading some of the past threads and readers pages, i've discovered that before you close the hood, after installing the new grill, you must fabricate some sort of hood release lever or something that you can reach with the rhino grill on.
unfortunately, i haven't been able to find an actual picture of one, or a detailed description. if anyone has done this and can give me a few pointers i'd be grateful.
i dont' know how different the hood catches are on the different year vehicles, but mine has two hood connections, one on either side of the radiator, which have springs on them. on the hood, there are two corresponding latches, which are connected by a rod that has a tab welded to it in the center front of the hood. when you lift this tab, it turns the rod and undoes the hood latches. i don't have access to a welder or anything fancy, so if there is a way to do it kinda ghetto style for now, that would suit me just fine.
thanks for the help guys.
