Unhappy Slid into it--does it look bad?(pics)

So my buddy and I went wheelin Sunday and it was pretty muddy and wet out. Got into a narrow trail on our last run and it was gettin dark, i got stuck on this nasty part going up this gnarly step so my buddy had to go out and around to give me a tug-it got seriously technical cus i had a bad line to begin with. Anyways, we got er out but as i was at the peak of the steps the whole rear of my Runner slid from one side where there was a tree to the opposite side and BOOM. I didn't even stop just was like yup that's gonna be a good one. I got it home and i haven't cleaned it off yet but maybe it isn't that bad considering...here's my first Body damage.

^^^^^hahahahaha^^^^^

no it's not bad, i love beauty scars, as long as they're recieved genuinely. i love it when someone has a scape on the body and says they got it offroading, then you see the other car's paint in the streaks.

are those the 285s? they look like a freaking 33x1350s.......my 285s on my stock 16x7s are a helluva lot skinnier

lol it was all in good fun, im pretty sure if you remove the plastic trim in the back, you can pound it out, although you will still have some scratchs

Could've been a lot worse. A LOT worse. That doesn't look that bad. Probably do need it repainted at a shop. Get it done quick to avoid rust (if the paint is scratched off, which it looks like it is).

Yeah I guess it could've been a lot worst considering it has seen some gnarly trails, I take my Runner everywhere and I've only been wheelin for almost two years now. Consider it a Turkey day project.
And MILLER..I'm runnin 285/75 TOYO MT's on the stock sr5 16x7's.
Thanks for the advice fellas.

I've seen on Trucks! on Spike TV where the guy uses a large flat metal piece on the outside and taps the dent with a mallet from the inside. This should keep it nice and clean.

Oh, BTW, those rear lights do look bad.

...no, seriously..........

I'd get it all cleaned up and polished out before you attempt your own body work. Post some clean pics.
