I am crushed. ...dented jeep
« on: April 12, 2014, 09:30:45 PM »
I am so upset at myself. 

So, I learned the hard way....I took the doors off to put the rally doors on....it was stupid windy and I unlatched the door catch and the door went flying....dented the front passenger cowl...I sure hope i can get the PRD guy to fix without removing the light bar and bracket and window bracket.

I am sick to my stomach right now....

It sucks, but the pain of the 1st dent is over.
- That is the worst.

PRD guy should not have a problem with that, but think of it this way.  Turkey season, it is going to get messed up on the trail once the brush grows back into the road way.
- Also there is the errant cow to mark it up  :redneck:

that big lumbering grill fodder.

I think it might be a good idea to build a pen for your vehicles to stay in.

did you get a gross of those clips ?  :funny:

JP,

A good PDR guy will get that out in no time. If they can't massage it out from the back, they have a technique called a "glue pull" that they use from the outside. Watched the guy do it to my first xB. Popped a small dent right out, then massaged it a little to get it perfect.

As for the cows and their love affair with your vehicles. Maybe cows like nice looking trucks?

That does suck RR, but as you know totally fixable.

As for the cows, I think they are attracted to the HD! It's the only thing I can figure as many of my vehicles have been around cattle with no damage at all. Except for my Dad's truck and one pi**ed off bull... :funny:
