That doesn't look too bad. Remove the interior plastic panels around the factory subwoofer, then take a hammer and most of that dent will pound out. Use a small piece of 2x4 on the outside to hit against. Then remove the remaining 3 1/2 flares, patch the holes, monstaliner where the flares used to be and call it a day. Small piece of black gorilla tape will nicely cover the broken taillight piece until you can find a reasonably priced junkyard replacement.
I've been hunting a popping noise for a month and have still not found it. Feels like a snap under my left foot.
I made a few memes for the occasion........

The last pic does not look like it will buff out
Actually it was not as bad as what the picture shows. The slider took most of the impact but a section of that rock did manage to contact the body, resulting in a small dent to the rear part of the front fender in an area already covered by monstaliner. I can pull the dent with a slide hammer, then patch the hole and reapply monstaliner.

Hopefully you can blame it on someone else
Be somewhat glad is the passengers side. The piece of molding that covers the rear clearance light on the drivers side is not long available anywhere in the world new.
I'm sure it was @jwilliams "buddy" that did it...

Character.Great group/weather/food. Couldn't ask for a better trip. However, it doesn't get any easier the second time around!
Just a little body damage on that last photo
I was chasing a popping noise/feeling under my left foot when I would hit bumps on my rig. Ended up being sway bar bushings
Finished my front bumper
Have to date ruled out...
Torque settings have been checked on all bolts/nuts that are suspension related

Tie Rod/ends/bushings
steering bracket
Steering stabilizer
Front and rear aftermarket bumpers
I am now looking at the panhard bushings (front and rear) and maybe springs (only 3 year old Slee springs) so I have my doubts about the springs. Panhard bushings are the Slee gen one yellow plastic....and from what I have seen so far show a little wear.
Seems the bushing has moved from its original position. See the shiny new yellow?

Funny -- Same thing happened to me on Gold Mountain a few years back. Except he backed into the tree using the rear window

Thanks for the suggestion. These have been ruled out too. I forgot to put them in my list. It's been corrected.
The front control arm bushings are new (1 year old) and are torqued to spec.

Went backpacking. Wind Rivers in Wyoming.
Ok so this morning I woke up to this... Some tourist in the hotel tossing his beer cans over a wall and onto my hood! Thanks for visiting and trashing my home and cruiser! I was so pissed. The can was still 1/4 full too. Who wastes beer like that!?
Next I did a knuckle rebuild for a friend... A 1996 with 445k on the clock! Nice.

Such a waste of beer. Did you finish the rest?
Also, are you looking for some more friends?

Are you out of your mind?
Throw away a 1/4 can of free beer?
