Can this rocker be straightened?

[crimsonaudio]

Bought my Fj40 a few years ago, slowly tweaking it while driving.

One things that's always kinda bugged me is a dent in the passenger-side rocker panel (pics below) - I've got replacement steel panels to cut into the body at some point, but frankly, due to the fact that the PO had the interior and exterior coated in bed-liner I'm not too amped about replacing this as I suspect I'd have a very difficult time matching not only the color, but also the texture where the new panel meets the old. Picky, picky, I know...

Anyway, I've been thinking about ways to fix this, and I'd like to put a pair of these on it: http://www.man-a-fre.com/pa/40rocksliders.htm - is this dent removable or do you think that with careful use of washers and such that I could use the Man-A-Fre steps to 'pull' the bottom edge straight?

Any help / thoughts appreciated...

A paintless dent guy can fix that for you for about $100. He'll bend the edge back down first and then he will have to drill a hole in the panel that is behind this one to get a tool in there and push it out from behind. You won't even know there was ever a dent..except that you'll have a hole in the panel underneath. It won't be visible though.
