Re: inside hood release

Nice been wanting to do just that! Did you disable the outer release?

Re: inside hood release

I've been meaning to do this on my stepside truck but just one of those things on the list that never gets done. I even have a cable from an 88-94 truck just waiting.

Re: inside hood release

I just did something like this today, how hard is it to pull your handle under the dash?
