So my idiot brother got stuck in mud and a friend towed him out but apparently they didn't see a big a$$ tree which caused some pretty noticeable body damage 
. Looking to get some opinions on what options I have. I was planning on chopping the fenders anyways but now there is a real reason to get started on it.
Here's the damage:

My biggest concern is that the paint is chipped away on the dent next to the windshield and it has already started rusting. Would touch-up paint be enough to cover it after the rust is taken care of?
And what is the best way to go about fixing the dents?
Also the hard top has some pretty nasty cracks in it.

That sucks, you have alot of damage and your jeep is pretty new. I would beat him and make him pay for it or call your insurance company and take it to a body shop, you cant fix that stuff your self unless your a body man

Agreed those are you two things that keep water out! The fender however I bet you could pop with a heat gun to close to new but if your turning in the other things it's not worth messing with.
