Default Dinged My Fender

I tow a boat fairly often, and have a tight spot I have to back it into in my yard. After a long week in the keys, I came home and was backing the boat in, and cut the truck too sharply and came up against a tree branch. I didn't hardly feel it, and the branch was fairly small and pushed out of the way, but it still shoved a dent into the front fender. Thought I might be able to get a paintless repair, but it dented that crease in the fender above the wheel well so that was out. Anyway, it is at the shop now. I told the guy just fix it, i'm going home to cut the dang tree down. Great way to ruin your day!

Sucks about your truck but I had to laugh. You do the same thing as me. Dent your truck with a tree, cut the tree down. I was trimming a bush when the trimmer got jammed on a branch to thick to cut and the trimmer broke. So I got pissed because it was the second trimmer to break on the same bush so I took the chainsaw to the bush.

Don't let that dent ruin your day. Mine was dented by a falling palm branch and it creased the right front fender. I called on the best paintless dent repair guy in my area and, after 2 hours he got it completely out. Looks like new. Awesome job! Hope yours turns out the same. I will post the "after" pic soon.

Default The AFTER picture

Here's the "after" pic. The PDR equipment can still be seen, but the dent is gone.

I had $10k of hail damage repaired on my truck via PDR. 1 year later, I still can't find a single dent that they didn't repair. Truck looks just as good as factory!

Nope. It was a Tornado that touched down 5 miles east of my jobsite exactly a year ago today. 110mph winds blowing hail at bullet speeds for about 45 minutes. Entire right side, hood, roof, tailgate and windshield were all completely pumbled. I had a video of the storm but it got lost somewhere. If I can find it I'll share it in off topic.

Yup. Dangerously severe weather in the summer and blistering cold in the winter. Woo hoo for Canada!
