Okay so I just had a great day of wheeling and it was getting dark, got to the end of a dead end trail and needed to turn around. Well I thought I saw all of the trees but I was wrong. Unfortunately I hit a tree which crushed my drivers side signal and pushed the body in. Is there anyone that might now is that a separate piece and can be replace or is it a body shop deal? Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks!!!

 

yeah it's a seperately available piece, but the new piece has to be welded in. You would be better served to have this extension bumped out and refinished. I do this stuff for a living, on a scale of 1 to 10 you got a 1.5. Very minor.....

Nice work! welcome to the club. Remember mine had a similar dent. just do what i was going to do clean it up paint it. then cover it with some corner protection like the AEV body armor. At least you had fun right. I never found out how much it would be to fix my dent but I'm guessing it would have cost at least a $1000. the only reason I would fix it is if it affects the hard top. By the way things are starting to look better for me so I might be able to join you for some trail runs soon. I will let you know.

 

I agree with Tinman. Remove the hard top and the light assembly. A little hammer and dolly work by a professional and it'll be good as new....after paint.

 

Thanks guys for the help and the link to the part

Awesome to hear Juice that things are getting better for yah. Was planning on getting it fixed then the AEV corners where gonna go on her and also a bumper that possibly would have saved me from having all this trouble.

Now does anybody now a good body shop in the Colorado Springs Area?

 

GOAT- I gotta tell you you'd be better off fixing the spot and refinishing it before putting any corners on it. yes it would save money to pull it out enough to make the light fit and then cover up the damage with a set of corner caps. However the rust and corrosion started by this damage would eat the corner off of your jeep after a few months of being damp and moist under a corner cap. Make certain if you get a shop to repair it that they treat the inside of the corner against corrosion after they repair it. Best of luck!!!

 

Oh don't u worry about that I definitly plan on getting it fixed before I put the corner guards on her hence the reason I am looking to find a decent shop here in Colorado Springs. Thanks again for the help

 

Check out my thread where I replace this rear panel along with the quarter panel. In your case the corner panel looks repairable.

Guys- I looked at this post about 4-6 weeks ago, if you are interested in a nice clean, easy to understand side repair on a JK look at this. Zylfrax really does a NICE repair here....
