When I got my jeep it had this big dent. Im asking if anyone has any ideas on how to cover this. I did a bunch of hamering so it looks better than it did and I could put a tail light on without it breaking. easy is better than better looking.

as stated, cut it off and get one from JY. take a look underneathe. a friend of mine took a light hit in the right rear and didn't see a lot of damage on the outside but wrinkled the "frame rail" on that side. i know there is no frame to speak of but you know what i mean. insurance co totaled it due to "frame damage"

To get that fixed will take some elbow grease and some money but it shouldn't be that bad. Just get some things from JCR and you'll be good to go;
