I've had this huge doording for about 3 years now that drives me nuts. It's
right in the middle of the extended cab portion on the driver's side.
Whomever hit it with whatever really did a number on it. The dent is pretty
large, and it managed to create a little "valley" all the way up to the
windowledge on that side. I had a couple quotes for getting it removed and
was told that it would be between $400 - $800 to get it to look like there
was never anything there - IF it didn't require paint. One day I may get
all the little imperfections taken care of, but the 2 little dents and one
major one are on the last on my long laundry list of stuff to get done to it
one day.

Bring it to the BBQ, it'll get offroad.
