Fender Bender
Got into a fender bender this weekend, but my grill pretty much saved my front end but can't open my hood, both my side fender untouched, seems like I just need a new lip and pull out the front bumper a bit…..Is it easy fix you guys think? My radiator wasn't damaged, no leaks …..

I'm not sure yet, hood won't open, brush guard got bent towards the bottom where it attaches, I'm assuming the brush guard got pushed backed tight and keeping the hood closed, the radiator seems to be undamaged...

Start taking stuff off then. The brush guard and bumper unbolt from the front of the truck. If the hood still won't open with the brush guard removed, you should have access to take off the grill at that point and check out the hood latch. You'll also see any damage to the crossmember or core support once the bumper and grill are removed.

From the pics, it does not look like the brush guard is physically pinning the hood. That kinda tells me that the core support is pushed in and has jammed the hood latch. But you'll have to get all that stuff off there to find out for sure.
