they usually can't do anything with a line or crease. It is hard to tell but it looks like u may have both.

i cant really tell by the pics but if you do have a crease you will have to go with body work, but if there is no crease look in your local yellow pages for paintless dent repair.

i do have a crease at the top of the door beneath the glass

but the rest of it could pop out, if i had a smaller suction cup or if the pops-a-dent works

 

[MARSHALLMAY]

they don't use suction cups, they drill a small hole in your door jamb and use long metal rods to carefully press out the dent. they fill the hole with a rubber gromet. they may be able to minimize the crease, but a plain dent usually disappears.

i say dont bother lee, chicks dig battle scars. im wondering about your TJM mounts though, ive hit my ARB pretty hard on trees and rocks at tellico and it never moved until an audi played chicken with me and lost. could you take a picture of how it mounts? ehh, nm ill just look on yotatech for an install so you dont have to bother with that. how hard did you hit it? does the TJM have the same issues with the end plates as the ARB or did they address that?

at this point i am tired of the way the tjm handles anything harder than moderate hits.

if i land on a rock hard with it, it bends.

yes my mounts are bashed and tired, but its insane.

im gonna brace it by welding a skeleton into it with 1x1.

now thats a good idea lee, what your saying worries me because ive only ever heard good things about the TJM, im abt to do the frame rail mod when i replace the mounts this weekend for my ARB, supposedly that helps alot with the strength of it.

in your case they probably won't drill. they can take the door panel off and hammer it from inside the door.

the tjm is great if youre not doing big rock crawling

anything more, and ive found it cant handle it.

Try using something smooth and rounded. I have used a baseball bat before with good luck.
