you dont, deal with it






On a serious note, on my 88 there were inside panels that were removed with a 10mm. but im guessing your gonna have to pop it out by drilling a hole and pulling it out then filling in the hole.

i don't know what kind of access if any, there may be through the well. but you may be better off just leaving it. it looks good and right at home with all the mud!!

it ain't broke right? so why fix it?

Trying to keep it straight untill after college then ill take a saw to it and bob it or flat bed it. For now i guess i will have to look closer and make sure i really cant get to the back of it.

come on now. i'm in college too. i can certainly see why you'd want to do a repair yourself since money goes to the things that keep me going, like food. but a messed up fender, that you did yourself might i add, is a beautiful think.

good god man, take some pride in what you've created!!!

Do you have a thread with more pictures of your truck? I'm at brown's every weekend, maybe I've ran into you?




Look familiar maybe?

Off highway 6, in Tillamook state forest. Great place in the summer, in the winter half of the good trails are closed down.

Definetely havent seen you out there, if I did I would have pulled over and drooled for a bit.


Sorry to change the topic, but my dad and I will be welding a pair of sliders next weekend and your design looks a lot easier to copy than most, do you have a side pic I could take a look at?

You wheel an SAS'd rig and that's your first dent?!? You must be pretty careful...

You might be able to pull most of that out with a suction cup. It won't look perfect but better. I would try that before beating on the back of it or drilling it. It really won't cause any more damage so you really can't lose anything by trying it.

Oh, nice rig BTW

Jeez, you must be really careful... or have damn good control of what that thing does on a trail.

I know how you feel though, I just got my first count of body damage this weekend on my 98 4runner...quarter panel and rear passenger door cladding...
