Is self repair possible for this dent?

[visualfxengineer]

So looks like my bumper got pulled out or caught on something. The driver’s side fender seems to have sucked in a dent when the bumper popped out. There is no impact marks so I am hopeful that it may be a simple fix.

I don’t think I would be lucky enough to be as simple as drilling a hole in the liner and “popping” the dent out from the other side.

Updated pic:

Update: I was able to hit the front of the bumper and it popped it mostly in place where the headlight assembly is. I will see if I can fix bumper as seen in the pic above by drilling a few holes and moving the c clips down to keep the bumper side more secure.

However, as to the dent in the pic by the fender trim piece, I am open to suggestions.

You are lucky there is crease in the panel. Try this with a heat gun. warm the metal to just hot enough to not burn your fingers then attach the suction cup and gently pull. I also like the wet the rubber suction cup with a little Quick Detailer. Take you time and all should be good.

Thanks. I need to hit up the junkyard and see if there are any 5th gens there. The piece that hugs the bumper to the truck needs replacing.

I’ll give it a go with crazy glue till then.

Junkyard? good luck. JB Weld, two stage, gorilla gel, try them all If that part is the one I think it is, slightly different than mine, $40 at the dealer.

Interesting! I had a similar dent on the same spot. Called few places and got a decent price to repair mine. It was way less than a body shop.
The process the use is paintless dent repair and it is fast. I mean it took the man about 1.5 hours compare to 3 days in body shop.
Anyhow he did a great job and I saved mans number.
