"That'll buff out"

That's awesome!^^ Thanks for spreadin' the knowledge.

 

No prob, I have tried this before and it is awesome! Do it to your friends cars whenever they have a dent and watch their reaction lol they nearly crap their pants everytime, its great

 

i think my dent is a little too big for the heat gun/compressed air trick. ill try my GPS suction cup and see if that works out.

 

Are you referring to something like the video posted above?

 

sucks to hear about the dent. A good call on the wrecker door (quick and fairly cheap fix). Trees suck (I hit both my front fenders at the doors on the same run...) Dents can be pounded out, it takes time and patience but it can be done.

And Tacomas are great for rock crawling, but sliders are necessary, and be prepared to damage your front and rear bumpers!

 

already have my front and rear plate picked out. just need the funds!

 

Try the suction cups and hot/cold air first, but if that doesn't work remove the plastic door inside and gently push. Don't go whacking it with a hammer until you have tried pushing and rubber mallet etc first. I hit the inside of a dent once and it popped the paint off on the outside. (Toyota 2003)

 

What do you have your eyes on? Also keep you eyes open for group buys!

 

thanks for all the advice guys! (and gals?) ill get to it this weekend unless i find time during the week and post pictures of results, if there are any to be had.

 

Ahh dude shit happens in life, life lessons ae expensive, at least the good ones are.

I drove like an idiot for 5 seconds and it's going to cost me $2,000 but hell I learned.

I was born and raised in Kelowna, you? I'll be back this weekend and the long weekend if you want to grab a TW beer

 

originally i had picked out the Relentless fab single hoop with supports front and Relentless high clearance w/ swing out tire carrier rear. im too cheap for the shipping cost and not welder/tech savvy enough to do the DIYs

so, http://www.cruisinoffroad.com/Index.html#top is what im looking at now, Jason is only 3 hours away from my place hes got lots of experiance with Land Cruisers and hes just getting into Tacomas. he built my rock sliders and he has a front and rear bumper. id get his front with a tri hoop for extra protection (learned my lesson gooood) and his rear bumper, possibly with high clearance if not the the quarter panel guards and swing out.

 

Parents moved us up here in '99 i think it was. been here since and lovin it.

PM me when you're in town and we'll have that beer!

 

That dent removal video is pretty cool.

Never seen that done before.

 

something like it yes but specifically
I am referring to dry ice, and hair dryer
not canned duster gas and not a heat gun.

same principle though.

 

Temporary Fix: Ive been parking my truck in a way that i dont see the passenger side when i approach my vehicle. at one point i forgot i even had a dent

 

For anyone who's interested, the photo album from the day

Jeep to the left of my truck is my brothers rig. First obstacle is called the 'gate keeper' which is the hardest of the obstacles
