Rocker Panel Dent - Advice/ Fix?

[conrfox]

Got a little too friendly with a tree branch on the trails this past weekend and ended up with a dent towards the rear end of my rocker panel. Thankfully there was no paint damage, but I need some advice on what to do next.

A paintless dent removal guy probably can get that out or put some rocker panel guards on there that would cover it up and also help from getting another dent

Perfect time for rocker armor, or leave it as as badge of honor.

I’ll look into paintless, thanks man!

You might be onto something with using it as a badge of honor…

With the crew I run around with, we use a sharpie to mark dents with a date/place, then take a picture. Actually, we do that with parts that break/fall off, too!

Nothing but Sierra Nevada pinstripes on our JTR so far.

I have a similar dent, appears that part of the JT's body has the rigidity of a tin can.

You can try one of those "hot glue stick" dent pullers. You hot glue a puck to the dent and pull it out. This worked for me when I got a "knee" dent in the JT near the entrance to the back seat. You can find them on Amazon.
