Default uh oh.....can someone help a dummy.......

It's with heavy heart that must post that I have put a dent in my prized possesion......my Jeep.....yes I know.....it's a Jeep and it will get dents and dings along da way......but the way in which it received it's first dent is so dumb I must put myself in for the dumbass of the year award. Any who...my question to my fellow Jeep owners is da following.......how can I remove it. Ok.......here's kinda a example of what "might" have happened.......you know those stupid little bars that come down when you enter or leave a parking garage.........let's say if one of those happen to "fall" across ur hood and leave a small dent......not all the way across but about 2 to 3 inches across (side of the hood near the latch) . I looked underneath the hood and I don't think I can get at it this way ta bang it out......is there something I can buy myself ta try ta remove it (pull it out)?

I've seen used hoods go for under $400. You might just want to try eBay or Craigslist for one. Hope you have a common color.

Years ago I used a company called DentPros....don't know if they're still around, but i'll bet there is one just like them. Rubbed a dent out of my Nissan Altima hood for 50 bucks. I googled them, came right up. I'll bet you could find something similar in your area.
