So i took my lunch break, in the parking lot some idiot decides to go out the wrong way, so i try to snake around him. Then another idiot does the same thing on the next turn making it impossible for me to move. So what do i think. "Im a truck, ill pop the curb to get around these idiots. So i do and all i hear it grinding and one side of my truck is up in the air and cant move. Get out, and my damn truck is resting on a rock one wheel off the ground. So i get back in and had to rock the truck forward and back to get it off the rock... Just my luck. And litterally yesterday i get a quote for all the dents to be fixed and now this happenes. Looks like the entire truck will have to be painted... And another $1500 in repairs... Can this day get any better?

At this point i rather keep the dents... It hurt me when he said the quote is gonna be $5500 for the dents before this one... I might as well buy a new car. I think i may try some of the body work myself... What could happen? Put more dents in it. Im gonna start looking for how too's.
Boy oh boy i felt embarrassed. I felt everyone looking at me...

I am atleast going to sand it down and paint it like all the other dents...

Pound it out, sand it relatively smooth, and bedline the rockers. Problem solved.

Plus, it goes with your black wheels and bumpers too.

that is for every single dent and scratch. except for this new one. pretty much the entire truck needs to bed painted. thats most of the cost. then the one dent on my door is gonna take about 6hrs to fix... there are a lot of dents.

i would love to have all the dents and scratches out... now, probably not gonna happen... been saving up for the dents, and had about 4grand put a side for it, but now im thinking of just doing performance mods. maybe save a little more and get a pro charger!

there just so happens to be a pannel right behind it so i wont be able to hit it out from behind... probably gotta drill a hole in the dent and pull it out. then bondo and prime it.

5500 seems high even with the new damage I'd get some more quotes
