XJs have a hood that only The Hulk can open...
Popped the hood on my wife's Patriot and almost yanked the release handle off.
I've never thought twice about how there's like 20 pounds of pull required to pop our XJ hoods. Both my XJs feel the same. Anyone else ever notice this?
Btw, if you haven't seen the avengers yet, do it now.

I think its how the mechanism is designed. Be happy your in texas, in MI I get calls regularly from friends with XJ's that had the cable break and they dont know how to open the hood.

Releas Handle. Mines well lubed and very little pull required. Spray it with KY or alternate..
Lifting the hood, yes that's for callin in the Hulk.

get a new cable before it snaps and you are screwed.. these things are nearly impossible to get the hood open without the cable without damaging anything.
ive had many xjs where it requires barely any effort at all to pop open.
