I had a 94 XLT w/ that grill. (But with the cut outs for the Hella 550 lights)


By the way, if anyone wants it, its been in my garage for the last 2.5 years. (You can have it.)

I have a Trenz grill and they sent a little metal piece that's supposed to "extend" the handle out to the grill I believe. But I was too lazy to do it, so I use a screwdriver as well.

I even had that part of the latch removed for a while, but put it back on (didn't want to take the chance of the hood flying open anymore). You could try welding or screwing something on to the latch to get it to reach the grill.

Since that's from Explorer Express, have you asked them?

Screwdriver, chopsticks, pencil, bamboo, a very straight tree limb, pretzel rod, etc will ALL work!

How do you remove the front grill, I wanted to make my billet grill have a more secure fit but i could not get the grill off, I removed all the screws on top and the ones behinds the lights along with the clips but there are 2 more clips or something i couldn't loosen. I have a 96 Eddie Bauer. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
