If you don't want the visible hole damage on the face of the bumper, you can drill upward from the underside of the bumper. Instead of using screws to pull the dent, use something like a screwdriver, pry bar, or even a wooden dowel to rub the dent out from the inside after heating. If you make the hole a standard size like 3/8" or 1/2" or 3/4", there are black plastic finishing plugs available at many hardware stores instead of using epoxy. You can reuse the same hole if it ever happens again too. When choosing where to drill, try to work around any metal reinforcements that might be in the way. These bumpers are pretty hollow inside if memory serves though.
It’s super hard to get to, it’s the way the bumper is designed
daughter just hit a pole at fast food restaurant in MY JEEP, thanks
😭 Take those keys away!
dude - was wracking my brains out trying to fix the bumper in my 2011 and your solution worked like a charm. Very Very appreciative and super smart and clever.
Craig, I'm glad to hear that you found my video helpful! Happy wheelin!
Nice man thank you it worked on my 94 jeep grand cherokee laredo. same dent in the rear. I only had a blow dryer lol Still worked.
Sometimes if possible you can come in from behind with a 1/4 drive long extension or whatever will fit and as your heating you can push it out and not have any holes.
I did exactly what you did and it almost worked. My dents were a little more knarly than yours. Screws kept ripping out. So I used a drywall toggle bolt and that worked great. Just left with the screw holes.
Saved my life!
I'm glad you found this helpful!
Daughter just bumped into someone; no damage to them, but we have an identical dent. Thanks for posting!
Glad to help, Bryan!
JD Cars I do appreciate it. I joined a Jeep JK forum a while back and added a post on this, asking for help (before seeing your video). The head moderator on the forum, basically shamed me for caring about stock bumpers (vs. aftermarket armor) and told me to throw it away.
Got a decent sized dent in my 14’. I’m just using this as an excuse to my wife to buy steel bumpers😂. Till then I’m going to try this. Thanks!
Hahahah good thinking!
This worked great. As far as the holes. I just heated the area pressed the holes closed. Less work than using the jb weld.
Glad to hear it! Thanks for sharing!
I find it an unnecessary approach. Just remove the bumper and correct the dents from the inside, just pushing and no drilling.
Awesome ! It worked ... the only difference is I use hot boiling water and slowly pour it then started pulling the screw . Worked perfectly.
I’m glad it worked! Nice variation with the hot water
Thats funny I came here to make this repair and I also have a JKU in MA. Must be our drivers.
For anyone with weather damaged plastic flares/bumpers. Meguiars Ultra Black. Makes even the worst look brand new. Soaks in and even rain wonts wash it off. Lasts a month or so. You’re welcome.
Thanks for the pro tip!
I can't push out the dent from behind so l might try this.
Why would you put holes in the bumper? Most bumpers are very easy to remove. Remove the bumper and you can push it out from the back side. No holes.
Because the bumpers are sealed. You can't get to the dent from the back.
just some heated crayon instead of the epoxy maybe
Phenomenally simple. Thx!
Glad to be of help!
Thanks, after watching other vids, I liked your method the best. Worked like a charm.
Sweet! I'm glad to hear it worked for you
Your the man it worked thx
What part of MA? Somerville here
Beverly area here
Yes it was great to watch
Nice. Possibly remove the bumper, heat it and push out
The dent from behind?
Why didn’t you use a suction cup or push it out from the inside
You can't use a suction cup on a dent this deep. Not to mention it's not possible to suction cup this rough plastic.
Same thing just happened to me yesterday. I was able to pull the dent out (creases still visible but oh well) I used the epoxy and sanded it today and the epoxy just came right out. Any suggestions? My car is leased 😥
Thank you very much. Worked perfect!!!!
You’re very welcome! I’m glad I could help
Body shop quoted $1,100 to replace bumper. I owe you a beer!
Doesn't work
On the Dodge Nitro, you can heat up and just push the dent out from the inside so no screw holes.
I’ve had luck with just heating the bumper and then hitting the edges of a dent with a rubber mallet. Sometimes the dent will pop out without the need to use the screw method. I just got a dent today slightly hitting a snow drift so I’ll see if I can repair it with either the rubber mallet or the screw method.
Good to know! Thanks for sharing
you could of did that without drilling a hole its plastic..
Next video you should do a fender trim video!!! I wanna trim mine but seen so many different ways guys do them. Just wondering how you would do them!
Absolutely no need to use the screws I've had several jeeps wife came in the garage pushed in that same little spot. heat it up either with some boiling water, heat gun ,hair dryer get underneath with a little piece of wood ax handle works great push it out then Whatever shining oil you want it's perfect you do not need screws
I wanted to do this, but my bumper is completely sealed back and bottom. Hmm
Fail.now I have a dent and a bunch of holes.
Lol I have every exact tool you have there and the JB weld.
How does your hat not fall off?
can you use a hand hold propane tp heat up area?
I wonder if those bumpers are air tight, if so maybe you could heat and shoot compressed air into bumper to pop it out
Good idea! I hadn't thought of that
Oh I did give you a like
My nail keeps coming out. Wont stay in the bumper
Drill a smaller hole, and use a screw with larger threads.
Awesome man I have a 2018 Jeep Wrangler unlimited and man I have some dents ! This was an awesome video. Frat job dude I fukkin Rock man!
Smoooooke one biiiiotch lmao
I don't know if it was at the market or what not. but, I noticed just below the fog light on the driver's side a small dent. fog light works fine. will this work for the fine narrow ridges by the fog light or mostly for a larger rounded dent?
Yes this should work! Maybe use a smaller drill bit and screw than I did.
@@JDCarsChannel thanks.
Hair dryer on high wouldn’t work ?
Possible but unlikely... give it a shot and let us know!
Thank you so much! I was planning to take my Wrangler to a body shop but fixed it myself. It almost looks like a new bumper.
I'm glad you found the video helpful!
👌🏽🇨🇦🇨🇦👌🏽
: )
Why is video over 7 minutes?
Smart solution and actually worked perfectly. Use a small nail to pull and heat after the nail was pulled out, the hole will close/ invisible.
Thanks for the tip! Glad this worked for you!
Great thanks, just FYI your video is 7 minutes 20 seconds. You promised to show us in 5 minute. Cut more to keep your word. Lol
