Looks just like mine 😢 I was so upset and immediately looked for a new bumper online. Tried your method and it looks like it never happened. Thank you so much. Took me about 10 mins to do female time lol
Max eco round use: 1. Hot water from a the tap (quantity depending on the temp and the dent) pour it on slowly (some dents might just come by them self this way). - On backhand, a boiling spaghetti sized casserole (if the bumper gets cold, or hotter water is required) - Heatgun or hairdryer can be backup. But you don’t really need it. They can make it too hot, think melting hot. (This video demonstrates that). !! The ultimate goal is forcing the plastic to snap back into original place. Try to not to make the plastic white, it means that it is expanding. Try avoiding to sculpt, mold or shape it too much, too hot plastic will behave like 3:12 in the video, 200°F or 90°C degree plastic will most likely snap) 2. Use the shaft of a hammer instead of the wooden shaft (may need a more oval hole). Just use what you have. 3. Black duct tape should seal it it up nicely. Bonus tip: if you don’t want to buy a hole (making) saw kit, just use several holes from a big drill bit or a handy sharp knife (and your hammer). Tape, sand, file or lube up the inside (if sharp edges) for a smoother entry when sticking in your hammer shaft around. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO, IT REALLY HELPED ME!
You can also just use a hammer handle instead of having to cut any plungers.... Good video though. Thank you! Or should I say my teenage son thanks you after his first minor car incident...
Oh no! My online cart is about $850 because I want a new RuggedRidge bumper after having a dent like this and not wanting to buy a cheap plastic bumper.. At least I can keep the OEM bumper for now with the help of this video. I’m sure your jeep looks great with that bumper you got!
I'm not sure about metal, I have only done this on plastic bumpers, mostly jeeps. I have used PDR guys for thin metal body parts, I have heard that there are guys that can straighten some metal truck bumpers.

THANKS FOR THE VIDEO, IT REALLY HELPED ME!
Thanks. Damage on my jeep from someone backing into it looks identical to your damage.
You saved my day! This worked like a charm. Thanks so much!
Excellent work, and most importantly *cheap - & - practical *
Nice pdr method of the bumper!
This just happened to me at the McDonald's drive-thru thank you for the help
This is awesome I bumped into a deer yesterday and that same dent is in my jeep bumper thanks
Great video. Best one I've found on how to do this quickly and easily. How did you plug the hole?
I bought a plastic cap/plug at true value and sealed/glued with black silicone
I was thinking same thing. Been nice if that would have been included in video. A hole for a stick wasn’t there before the damage. Lol
@@danielrice5474 he mentioned the plug and black silicone at the beginning, rewatch and you'll see it.
Great job
Even the metal panels being so cheap and thin today, you can get some of those dents out with a heat gun also.
I don't have a jeep but this is way better than those other dumb videos that I've seen great job 👍
I'm very happy when what I've posted can help someone Thx
Great video, I was planning on going to harbor freight
hurry!! you might have to amazon it, harbor freight has a lot of empty shelves nowadays
pretty cool
Did you think I can do this with hot water? I don’t have a heat gun
thats onlt for platic wat bout metal

plastic what about metal bumpers

Glad I don't have to buy a new bumper
You “wife’s” plunger? Wow…
