I want a smaller one for my rig. I'm hoping to start modding my pickup this spring and have wanted to do a grill block. However, since I'm often moving 1/2 ton+ around I need some kind of manual override for opening the whole thing up when needed (Oregon if anything is hilly). I was thinking of giving up on grill blocks for me to begin with...perhaps a trip to freightliner is in order.
