Default i've got a problem.

went up last saturday with my local jeep club to down our "fall crawl" at riverock. went thro a space alittle too tight for the jeep and it fell on its side...the side step took the majority of the hit. but my front drivers side fender flare is now loose. it seems like the little clips that hold it in place have been broke (by the fall no doubt) anything i can do? or do i just take it off? id like to save it if i can. the sidestep also created a dent in the bottom of the jeep right below the door. would metal sliders to the same? whatever u cn tell me would be great.

How big is the dent???? If not too bad of a dent and paint is not damaged...Try taking the JK to a Paintless Dent Removal shop...They might be able to pop it out for a decent price!

Most sliders cover the body there and will prevent any damage. You do have to drill some holes to install though. Glad to hear you had some fun!

I love my sliders:

It depends on the dent...but I had a big dent removed from my Dodge Ram a few years back...cost me $125.00 vs $950.00 quote by 3 body shop to pop out, repaint! You can't even see where the dent was!

I think this might be a biased crowd but keep the Jeep.

Sounds like your parents would buy the jeep off you? Or they bought it?
