Like the title says I got a dent in my front bumper. I was a little closer to the post than what I thought and I got a decent size dent in one of the round bars right next to my winch. Does anybody have any suggestions of how to fix it. It really isnt that bad but I notice it everytime I walk by my truck. I am not really worried about the paint since I am going to be getting it Linex'd before winter. I just dont want to see it.Any suggetions would be appreciated...

 

Need good picture to give best fix opinion.

 

Sand it down, fill it in with some high strength filler/bondo, and have it Line-Xed.......

 

get a ranch hand...just kidding have it line-xed

 

isn't the title of the thread 'ranch hand dent'? i would think that means he already has a ranch hand.

 

Read all of his post......

 

i was just being a wise a$$...... but seriously, i thought it would take a pretty serious impact to dent one of those- they sure weigh enough!

 

I would like to see a picture of the damage. I thought ranch hands were tougher than that.

 

A few years ago, I was at the SEMA Show & saw lite weight bumpers that looked similar to what Ranchhand builds (don't remember the manufacturer). Some were made of a synthetic compound that were so light that a very pretty girl that worked at the display was, easily, able to pick it up by hand. They looked great but, were just for looks, ONLY!

I wonder if you got the thin walled metal ones?

A sales person at Ranchhand told me that he got hit by a Cadillac in the rear bumper & all it did was scratch the paint. The front of the Cadillac was totalled.

Yea that's why I wanted to see a picture also. The last Ranch Hand I had on my Chevy would take down small trees and other structures with just paint scratches.

 

Shoot, I pulled in at Race Trac for some coffe one morning a little too hot, and boom! Hit the pole like an idiot. It did bend mine a bit, but it was just one of the cross bars, not the bumper. I do have a Trail Boss, but it is much stonger than XXL Texans.
