    I'm going to see what dent doctor etc. will charge to take it out, not sure if I should bother as I'm sure more will happen but would like to get a quote.

    Sorry to hear about your misfortune. I left the first dent in my truck because I figured that with the way my truck gets used more would follow and the first one is always the hardest. I do understand that most of us want a good looking rig and I will tell you that if you get the dent fixed more will come. To what end are you willing to get dents fixed. I figure that it is a truck and it will get more. Hope that everything works out well for you.

    Yeah I slid into a light post last weekend, pulled into a gas station. Lot was sheet ice and when I went to turn and line up with the pump the truck kept going strait and so I put on a little brake and the truck kept going strait. One of those slow motion you can see it comin do nothin about situations. Ah hell. So I filler up, scope out the damage, and I come out spending around 1300 for a new bull nose winch bumper and new set of headlights which have been upgraded. I wasnt about to put a factory replacement on, I figure thats not the last time I will slide into something way up here in Kodiak.

    I got one on the rear corner of the cab, on the right side. Don't know hao it got there. And, I have a "hood ding". I was at a hotel and when I parked I saw some "not so respectable looking" people on the second level dinking beer. They were a ways down from me. I got up the next morning, and saw the "ding" in my hood. I figure one of them "dropped" a bottle on it. I couldn't find any "evidence", though. That one REALLY elevated my blood pressure. :mad: It's amazing how so many people do not respect other people's things. I am going to check on getting them both repaired next week. THe one on the hood just sticks out like a sore thumb.:doah:
