My fender has a two small indents, one of the indents has a paint chip in the middle. These two kids were fighting in a parking lot and i decided to to park and watch. One kid put the other in a head lock and began running at full speed with the kids head. Of course they ran straight into my truck. The one bigger dent on top is from the kids forehead and the smaller dent with the paint chip is from his tooth, which got halfway knocked off and part of it stuck in my truck. Of course i decided to violently "break-up" the fight after that manuever.
I dont know much about body panels but these front corner panels on my truck seems pretty solid, like there is something behind them keeping them inforced. The dents were very small for the amount of impact they felt. The only problem is there is no chance of removing the dents with a plunger or even a ding king because the panel is so solid.

There is nothing behind the fender panels. The only thing behind them is about a 2 to 6 inch air gap in different areas. Then you get to the panel for the engine bay. I have had both of mine off to replace the panels from a wreck. The panels are really thin and have very little weight to them. But take some time to remove. You have to take off the hole front end. Bumper, corner lights, grill, headlights, etcs. Takes about 1/2 hours if you plain to reuse any of those parts.

Mine is still perfectly aligned. The rear bumper on the otherhand...

I hate it when cars parked so close to my truck. So I use my 4x4 power to back them away and away they go. The drawback is a bent up, beat up bumper.

If'n I do that my bumper is going to hit a sedan square in the hood... Parralell parking with a lifted truck can get annoying

I have a lot of paint chips in the front right fender. Plus a dent with the paint missing. You got watch the front end when your backing your ski up.

I have a dent in the right fender. Hit my buddy's trash can on the way out of his driveway (backing out and turning). Forgot it was trash night.
