So when I bought my truck the PO's had ran into something up front. So teh lower half of teh front bumper is slightly bent in with a divot right behind the front license plate bracket.
The distance is enough that you can readily see it when viewing from the side. And the plate bracket covers the divot, but it's just so damn annoying to me. So today I slid underneath and using a length of wooden fence railing and my jack I braced the wood right on to of the divot and proceeded to jack my bumper.. lol.
I applied as much pressure as I was comfortable with then backed off. The bit that I did actually re-bent the steel outward but only marginally.
Has anyone done something similar? The divot isn't that big so I dont think I could pop it back out or anything. But tonight Im going to try once more.. just to get it a bit more moved out, trying not to press my luck.
