    Hey, not sure if this is the right spot. Got an enclosed utility trailer for 500 from my boss. The rear ramp door was bent because someone ran it over in a skid with a pallet of cement. Anyway looking to turn this into a livable trailer for when we go on long fishing trips. Anyone got suggestions to either replacing it or bending it back to kinda straight?

    Can you put some blocks under it and bend it back? Without pictures we can’t see what it looks like

    Maybe a piece of 1/4″ or better 2 or 3″ angle iron bolted along the bent portions ? $500 !!! You stole that thing ! toast

    4 pieces of iron. Lots of bolts & nuts. You might even be able to use flatiron on the inside and angle, channel, and possibly even garage door stiffener strut on the outside.

    If I got that deal and planned on keeping it a while, I would price a new door.

    This sounds like a mess that you probably don’t want to deal with.

    I’ll take it off your hands for $750 cash. PM me.

    Call an auto body shop. They have the equipment to bend it back
