Backed into light pole, spare tire space from door question

[Planohummer]

you'll be lucky if the carrier is bent. usually the door bends because the carrier is a lot thicker gage metal. If you bent the door- hook a strap to a spare wheel spoke on the rt side of wheel, other end of strap to pole(maybe the same one you backed into), put in 4low lock and pull forward slowly to pull out door. Don't get too crazy and it just might work.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll clean her up real good and take off the spare tonight or this weekend for a thorough inspection.

I saw a new 2006 H3 on the dealer lot (back in laste 05 or early 06) that had appearently been backed into something. I remember the back door's sheet metal dented in, and not the spare carrier. It was quite noticable.

I had someone hit me a month or so back on the trail.. Bumper took the bulk of the hit.. The tire got some of it though and bent the back door..

Parts replaced..
Bumper
Bumper pad
Both rear corner parts (black plastic things behind tires)
Bumper mounting brackets
Rear Door

Price tag was just a touch over $3000..

If you want it fixed, break out the insurance card and deductable..

Go out and buy yourself the DOLPHIN SONAR STEP. I bought one three years ago, it took me about 2 minutes to install and has worked perfect so far. They sell for about $200.00.

It's the only way I know of to instantly install a backup sensor to your H3
