I am tryin to finish painting my siding/trim around my 91 XJ, and this is a trouble spot. I dunno if someone hit it or what, but it's just annoying and an eye-sore. How do I go about pulling it out? Thanks everyone.

just put a piece of ply wood against the inside of it and beat it with a hammer, it is not that thick, have fun while your at it. or you can just call it trail damage and be done with it

Cool

If it bugs you, go to the junk yard and get a front left fender. also grab the side trim moldings. It would be easier than banging out the dent, unless you know how to do body work well. I don't! Have fun!

no it should be pretty easy, i have taken out a way nastier dent before with simple tools (aka hammer and lots of coffee). so just take a little time, you might even be able to bend it with your hands, like i said, have fun with it. that is how i get through all my work. i just have fun. the more fun you make your work the more you will love and appreciate your jeep.

The only issue I am having is I cant seem to fit anything between the space of the door and behind the fender. Thats the only way I can getting anything in there. Im gonna rig up some kinda rod and see if I can L-shape it out lol. Hell, worse comes to worse, I got some Bondo. Drill a hole and pull it out LOL.

take a pry bar and go through the drivers door. jsut open it, put it in there and pry away, you need at least 18" of pry bar though

Anything else I might can use? Sadly, I lack a prybar. Im about to just kick all the other panels in to match it. It is frustrating lol.
