So went wheeling this weekend and bent the bottom of my tailgate out about a quarter of a inch. I fell off a rock and hit my spare 35 that was mounted on stock carrier. My question is has anyone ever fixed this or bought a new tailgate. I took my tire off until I can afford a EVO carrier. Which will be along time.

Got any pics of the damage? Give us a better idea of what we're working with.

Here are some ....kind of hard to tell. First photo above hinge its dented and second the bottom of door is sticking out more.

Tire wobbles when I hit bumps and makes a metal flexing noise.

O gez i dunno I've bent the corner before and bent it back but that o dunno....the sound u hear may be because the spot welds may have broke....

Mine has been bent for 3 years now. Misread a line and slipped backwards into a tree. Hasn't caused me any issues, plus it adds character.

Take the plastic covers off the hinge,this way you can look at the panel.
