kinda depends on the size, location, and severity of the dent. Might be able to pull it out with a suction cup or plunger if the dent is big enough and not overly creased. But I am guessing you hit one of the corners of your Jeep? They're tricky.

Front fender shouldn't be a problem. By pulling out the inner fender you can get to the back side of the metal without removing the fender. Please post the pics so we can advise you further

As long as it's not creased your life will be a lot easier. A suction doohickey (technical term) or a little finesse with a hammer/die oughta do it. Otherwise you may be better off with a new fender from the junkyard or a part out.

Looks like there might be a small crease at the top. You might try bending it back by hand. Otherwise it might be easiest to toss on a new fender

That's no excuse! Its only sheet metal after all. As far as how much a new fender costs (I'm guessing is what you're saying) it depends on where you get it from. Junkyard prices are allover the place. Call around and check to see if they have a black 97-01 fender. Otherwise, you might be able to grab one cheaper from a part out.
