billet grill hood release
OK --- so the billet grill looks great BUT I'm tired of having to get on my back to press the hood release lever from behind the grill.
I'm looking for ideas on how to release the hood w/o getting dirty ( dirtier  ).Pic's would be very helpful ...... Thanks Ev

Well, could you attach a cable with a T-handle that runs straight down toward the bumper or try the search for a post on this someone put a hood release in the truck cab attached to a cable that runs to the latch.
