eh, wear that badge with honor!

Its a jeep. After a year or so, you'll forget all about it.

Just don't think you can replace that small piece of metal... its the same piece as the front quaterpanel... it'll be hundreds to replace. Thats why I kept mine

Might be hassle but, no dents. My mirrors come off before the doors.

Just took my doors off for the first time last weekend, and I never read the thread about the dents So I now have joined the dent club, although mine is no where near the "King Dent" above. You my friend are the president of this dent club!

What ever! I just got a dimple in mine from the dealer and I am having it fixed.
Not to offend but that looks like SH!T. I don't care if it's a Yugo. I aint driving around with a BIG ass dent in my car, truck or jeep.

nah, it was all gravity.

Was parked facing downhill, about to switch hard top and soft top. For some reason I had the door strap off, got out of my vehicle, and BAM. Thats when I remembered about the door strap, oh well.

here is a photoshop of your idea.

Default ha..

we have to work on your photoshop skills a bit. I suggested the similiar idea but not with the large bumpstops. I mean.. having a really large bump stomp is no worse than the big black polka dot I now have on my door from the relocation brakcets.
