Thank you so much ! Husband has classic cars, he pulled my 92 jeep wrangler out to get one of his cars out.. he told me, but I wasn't paying attention when I pulled my truck out of the other garage. Backed my truck right into my jeep 😮 Didn't damage my jeep but I put a dent simulator to yours on the rear bumper of my Tacoma. I'm retired ~ auto interior repair for dealerships. I can do this !! I appreciate you taking the time to make and post this video. ¥
Just backed into a tree stump last night in the exact same spot as your bumper😢. Great video. Quick and to the point. Thanks i wasn't sure if i needed to remove my bumper and take it to a shop. Now im gonna do it myself👍
I have a dent in almost the same spot on 2010 Tundra. Same cause almost too. You saved me with your use of a block of wood (duh) from attempting to pound it out with a sledgehammer alone. Thanks so much!
You're welcome, glad I could help you out 👍 And lol I've done plenty of things like that, only realizing later I could have done it easier and better hah 🤦♂️
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Even though I have a back up camera, yep I backed into a tree. Reacted pretty fast so not too big of a dent. I have all of the tools but am a bit short on swinging power at 75. I can't wait to start banging on that bumper. I saw your tip on starting from the outer edge of the dent - will do that. Thanks again!!
Thanks for posting. I have a small dent in my tacoma bumper and I was wondering to use wood or steel with a hammer to beat the bumper out. Your video answered my question.
You're welcome, you should be able to get it out no problem. Take your time and when hitting the dent out it's best to move from outer area of dent towards center rather that starting right in middle 👍🏻
Searched "how to fix dented bumper" this is the first vid I clicked on, I have the same truck with the bumper dented in the same place lol, thanks man!.
First gen tundras will last you a very long time even with minimal maintenance. These trucks were built like tanks! Only issue is the frame recall for the cross member and the lower ball joints (always buy OEM LBJs!!!)
@@JonnyDIY nice! Mine has 141K, I’m about due for lbj replacements. Look up First Gen Tundras (13K members) on FB it’s legit the best page for anything and everything regarding these trucks.
Thanks for the vid. You only loosened your bumper because the dent was higher up and not reachable? Or is it a must ? I have a 2500hd chevy with a lower dent thati can reach easily but I don’t want to cause any other damage
My wife backed her truck into a tree so I'm hoping this will work for hers haha. It's way more pushed in but from but from the looks of it your idea might work. Thanks for the tips
Haha it happens! It should work, if really pushed in use a come a long to pull out or just a rope/strap around it and other end on a tree. Have pulled a few bumpers/front ends that way with surprisingly good results 👍🏻
Just got a new truck about a week ago and someone ding it in and smeared red paint on the black metallic paint matched bumper. The paints a whole other issue but gettin the ding outside is a start lol. Gonna try this as soon as possible. Thanks
Yea I wore a Casio for years doing construction work. It has been sitting in my drawer for years waiting for battery. Batteries last forever in those watches!
Something smooth on end like a piece of wood I used but round the end or maybe use a thick rag around end so it doesn't dent with the sharp corners of wood
Hey man, great video! I have a slight bend in a 1.25 inch C-channel rail on my front bumper. Do you think that could be pulled out by placing a flat bar in the C-channel, and pulling it with a come-a-long?
Should work on those bumpers too just fine. Theyre not too thick of metal. Work from the outer diameter of dent inwards towards the middle for best results 👍
how do you do the same with small areas like a bent area on window frame. someone used a screwdriver to try to get into truck through rear passenger door. thank you and God bless you
Thats a little trickier because the metal is usually stronger there and no as access to backside. I would try getting a couple estimates from local Paintless Dent Repair guys. Either that or would have to have damage fixed by body shop and repaint that little area
For scrapes, scuffs or paint transfers I would buff with Meguiars Ultimate Compound like I did in this video 👍🏻 ua-cam.com/video/3lVnpJQvRs0/v-deo.html
After buffing if theres paint missing then clean with rubbing alcohol and use lil touch up paint, let dry a week or so and then buff with compound then wax
Can still make it look way better. Try working from the outside of the dents inward. Could also heat it up from the backside of the chrome to aid in bending 👍🏻
Hey I've done a few repairs in my lifetime believe it or not and you can actually use a stone and you want it when you're on a dent like that that you were fixing you tap from the outside to the inside because get it in the center and that's how you got that crease and if you put a stone and hit the stone cap lightly from the outside to the inside the crease will not be there you can go to harbor freights for $9 you can get a whole body fender repair kit I'm fixing the GMC pickup truck bumper right now maybe I'll videotape some clown started to do some body and paperwork on my friend's truck and messed it up so now I'm repairing it
@@sharonfoster9490 awesome, thanks for sharing. Yes I really need to invest in one of those body working kits with all the nice hammers and slid hammer too
Your camera work is very jerky and making me seasick. Stop rolling around on that stool. Don't jump into the frame either. Too much zippity do dah, keep it calmer. This is a DIY video, not a bungee jumping one. Hold that camera steady and move slower. Way too much zooming around. Nice demo on using wood not a hammer directly.

Thanks Tim! 👍🏻
Thanks! Inspiring video, maybe I can do it myself! Gonna try on an old 4Runner I bought, wish me luck!

Trying to get dents out of my VW bus bumper actually like yours there. Does this still work
Should work on those bumpers too just fine. Theyre not too thick of metal. Work from the outer diameter of dent inwards towards the middle for best results 👍
so simple but helpful thanks for the video someone also backed into me from a parking spot without looking
You're welcome, glad to help. Good luck with the fix 👍
@@JonnyDIY quick question after fixing most of the dented area did it go back to as how it was before fixing it?
@@supremedunker7838 Nope didn't go back, dent stayed pushed out and fixed 👍

Thabk you 👍
You're welcome 😁👍🏻

1:50 camera wanted part of that action 🤣
🤣 👍
Perfect my exact truck too
Awesome glad I could help you out 👍
You think a rubber mallet would be better for under the fender plastic
Yes rubber mallet perfect for that. Try heating plastic to bend
About how long did this take you to do?
with filming probably 30 minutes or so. Without it probably would have taken only 15 minutes. Dependa if you need to remove bumper fully 👍🏻
Body shop "that's not repairable". Me and the boys with UA-cam and some basic tools:
Heck ya! 👍
Thanks samething happened to both corners of my truck bumper. It's black so I didnt notice till I tried to lower my tailgate.
@@everett-tnredsfan You're very welcome, happy to help. Good luck with the fix 🙌👍
Can you use a regular hammer for the bumper ?
Sure, I recommend using it to hit a piece of wood though, so you dont mar up the chrome and leave hammer head imprints 👍🏻
Jonny DIY thanks. I’ll try it with my Chevy Silverado
Lol that’s not only fast but it looks pretty good
Thank you. Yes, was one of those few jobs that end up being pretty fast, but satisfying 😄👍🏻
NIIIIICE! 👍🏾
Thanks 😁👍🏻
Yep Toyota cutting corners thin steel bumper the one I fixed on my truck was way harder because the steel is thicker.
Yeah not much protection especially on the corners
How to repair chrome bumper warp up due tow truck?
The lower bumper bend up,How to make straight back with simple tools?
Imma do this to my 03 Tundra it’s like that but a bit bigger man.
Nice, good luck 👍 Should be pretty easy, bumpers aren't too thick
Using my favorite tool. A BFH 😂
🤣👍🏻 Sometimes it's the right tool for the job
Same
wow, that's the exact same dent on the exact same truck, that I have.
@@noyfub Nice! Hopefully you can get it fixed a bit 👍
Appreciate the video, if there’s some minor scrapes on a black bumper this probably won’t help huh?😂😪
For scrapes, scuffs or paint transfers I would buff with Meguiars Ultimate Compound like I did in this video 👍🏻

After buffing if theres paint missing then clean with rubbing alcohol and use lil touch up paint, let dry a week or so and then buff with compound then wax
Man I wish my Tahoe bumper was that thin and easy to reshape
Heat it up with a propane torch or heat gun from the backside first and will help a lot to shape easier 👍
@@JonnyDIY thanks. I actually did and it still won’t reshape much at all. I think I’ll get some shaping tools as apposed to wood.
@@JLE1177 yes metal dollies work great 👍
They try to escape as fast as they can without leaving a note.....
Yeah shame, have had people back right into me and then deny it. I'm like I just watched you 🤦♂️

Your camera work is very jerky and making me seasick. Stop rolling around on that stool. Don't jump into the frame either. Too much zippity do dah, keep it calmer. This is a DIY video, not a bungee jumping one. Hold that camera steady and move slower. Way too much zooming around.
Nice demo on using wood not a hammer directly. I guess a curved piece of wood should have been used on that dent in back. A more rounded piece would have been ideal. Looks better though.
Thank you will try to be better. Yes you're right curved piece would have been better 👍
PS- that bungee jumping reference made me 🤣
