You have to be kidding me

Went to hook the boat up and I went a little too far and this happened. It has me PO'd beyond belief. Wonder how much it will cost to fix it.

 

[kg93]

lol ive done that many times with my older jeep. Never really cared to fix it though. Did it on my truck too, but i got a new offroad bumper.

Throw some touch up paint on it, or itll probably cost a few hundred.

Ahhh sh$t!!! If it's not to bad (large) you could touch it up.... If you still notice it and still really bothers you then pay to fix it.

 

[SlowRoller]

Truthfully,,,,,
No one will ever notice it but you.

If you know for a fact you will never do the exact same thing again,,, and it really bothers you,,, you might consider doing something about it,,,

Other than that,,, fuggit. You have your first (and hopefully last) hickey.

It's a truck now.

That's it? Lol back into a 4300# car hauler with a rock crawler on it... I'll see if I can dig up the picture.
But don't sweat it, like gassersarentdead says, it's a truck now! Chicks dig scars! But it if has to fixed, I'd guess at least $300 to spot blend it.

You can find new bumpers on Craig's list for cheap. I have actually bought about 3 from there for under $100 each

My lady did that to my truck when it still had dealer plates on it. She cried hysterically thought I was gonna lose my ****. Couldn't be bad at her as much as I wanted to lol. Her guilt was punishment enough lol

It is not bad, but I am rather OCD with my vehicles. I will cover it up with something or fix it.

Take that section, tape it off, add a black stripe of spray on bedliner. It will add a different look and a layer of protection for future bumps.

That's not a bad Idea I personally wouldn't do it in white but I have a black express and I might have to think about that.

I know it's hard to think about leaving it but it will probably happen again at some point. My truck was maybe 2 months old and our work trailer is stubborn to unhook jumping on the bumper doesn't work but a nice littl Wack to the tounge pops it off instantly... I bet you can see we're I'm going with this, anyways I smacked the tounge with a 1 1/2 round soild bar not very hard but it rolled right off the top of the hitch and put a nice little nick in the bumper just like that I wasent very happy but I knew I would end up doing it again at some point and just left it, till this day 1 year and 3 months still no door dings (I will probably get one today now)

They are worth every penny especially if you hook trailers up often, I can't imagine having a truck with out one anymore.

Yes, and if that's not aesthetically pleasing to you.. You could bolt a massive rubber loading dock bumper to it.

Take to the local body shop and talk to the paint guy under the table. He may hook you up.
A couple mknths after i bought my truck i went to a car wash, one of the high pressure ones with the diy brushes. Well apparently the brush had rocks or dirt in it. Needless to say there are swirl scratchs all the way down my driver side. I wasnt too happy when i dried it off. Lesson learned and wax hides it well.

 

[Wandell]

Good idea!

I bought a replacement bumper paint gloss black for $298 delivered. I backed up into a steel fence post out a my cousins ranch. It was about midnight and I didn't see it. I was flippin pissed to say the least. It wasn't a little scratch.


Backup camera is my next mod. But stealership wants $150 to reflash my computer to add the backup camera. They keep giving me some BS about it taking about an hour to load the update. When the time comes, I'm gonna have to shop around at other dealerships.
