From looking at pictures of the 99 and up models, it appears that the hood will open. I may be wrong, but if it does, what is under there?
My tiger truck has a hood also. it has enough space for the spare tire acessories , washer fluid reservoir the brake system and a hood prop.
I have a '99 Suzuki. The hood opens and the windsheild washer tank, the radiator overflow tank and a hydralic reservoir are there. The jack is also stored up there. Access to the radiator cap and refrigerant ports also. gbrad
