First Dent!

7 months into owning this '15 Access Cab. Backing up to a pallet load of heavy bags, trying to get the tailgate as close to the pile as possible and just transfer horizontally. I know where the back of the truck is, but not, apparently, with the tailgate down! Just tapped the pole holding up the lean to the pallets were under and put a little notch in the top of the gate.

Bugs the heck out of me now, mostly for the dummy move in such an obvious place. Good incentive not to do the same stupid thing again! I suppose a truck should have a ding or two.

 

Now it's officially a work truck!

 

not to subby

maybe you can ding the other side to make it even

 

That's not a dent that's a bottle opener!

 

Get one of these, problem solved

The first dent or deep scratch is the worst feeling.

 

A decent PDR tech can fix that for a couple hundred bucks.

 

you can probably PDR that for $100 or more

probably requires removal of inside skin and top trim
Cheaper than replacing it

 

Part out!

 

Hmmm.... hadn't thought about PDR. I'll look into who's doing that work locally and get a quote. At the moment it's serving as a reminder, and I like the bottle opener idea!

Thanks,
