Crunched rear passenger panel repair

[RUBICON13]

I managed to crunch the rear passenger panels (one with the rear light/license plate bracket and the one with the gas cap) on my 2007 JKU on the weekend. So, I am contemplating how to repair it. I am thinking of getting the armour for the corners from Northridge but, I think the sheet metal would still have to be fixed before they can be installed. I suppose I could just get a body shop to fix it also.

So, any suggestions would be welcome...

Thanks,

Jeff

P.S. I am now residing in the Red Deer area. So, I won't be taking it to a body shop in Calgary.

just leave it.

its a trail jeep anyways isn't it?

no point fixing it; you'll just break something else next time out.......  instead of spending the $$$ fixing it, just hammer it out as straight as possible and invest in lift/tires/etc

Poison Spider Crusher corners. Goes over the damage, and it's armour. If you want it to look good and have the money to spare, get it shot with colour matched line-x.

Whomever installs your new armor will be able to bang and pull it out good enough to not be noticeable.
It's not structural, just do it!

Thanks for the advice guys.

I agree, it is a trail vehicle but, I would like to armour it to prevent further damage if possible since I am planning a lot of other upgrades anyway and I want to wheel this vehicle for a long time.
