I beat the hell out of them. Most of the paint was gone by the end of the trail and both of them got a little bent in. I took a BFH and a block of wood and beat on them until they lined up again. They are all straightened out and repainted now. Back to looking good. My sliders and driver side passenger door lost a lot of paint as well so I spent the last couple days getting everything looking good again. I have no idea how long I can keep putting this Jeep back together before I just give up and let it look like crap. I have a feeling that the time for not caring is just around the corner. I'm just running too hard of trails now to have a pretty jeep.

Oh, it was!! My pix are uploading now, finally. I've done virtually nothing useful the last 3 days, and today was my first day on . My body's still kinda torqued from my little fall on Cadillac Hill... more so than by me actually climbing the whole dang thing on my own two feet! (While OceanJet towed the Toyota up it...)
I'm going to link to my Photobucket album, since I ended up with over 130 pix I liked. If you want a "full rez" version of one, let me know (They're all only about 2MB though, at 12MegaPixel).

:yelclap: Glad you got em on before the trip. My XJ was SUPER clean and was worried about dents but then after running Aftershock in JV, it all went to hell and dont mind so much anymore. Yea I do still try for the clean dent free lines and not as stressed about it anymore.
I'm painting my rear upper guards to match the jeep on the cheap to re-beautify but I'm not expecting it to last too long.
When you run awesome trails, you tend to be more happy with the fact you didnt break and that you made it, than the little dents here and there.
