I am new to the site and figured I would share what I had to do. I did not do this on a trail I was hit by a big ass truck at Hogwaller Mudbog in Palatka FL. I always just use red tape and fix up the light b/c there is no way a real light will fit. Today I decided to try to kinda fix it. I figured I couldn't make it worse.

DURING: I had to spot weld the panels together b/c it was pulling apart

It is not perfect and the paint does not match, but it will not stand out as much. I can now install a tail light. Im sure it will get hit again later

Now that repair lets your rig keep the new character! I like that kind of repair for a wheeling machine. Good job :thumbsup:
