Since no one asked, how much damage did it do?

 

[MoladoGuy]

Hood replaced, Light bar replaced, Replace driver side view mirror (entire housing), replace driver side windshield trim (outside edge of windshield) due to dents, bump driver door along roof line due to dent, repaint front driver and passenger door (scratches), repaint grille (or replace), replace roof rails.

Not sure what the cost estimate on that would be but I'm pretty sure it was more than if I tried to get things done on my own I'll have a detailed list tomorrow or Wednesday when I pick it up (thank god!!).

Well at least you won't have to pay to heat your house this winter... let it all dry out and there is a ton of awesome firewood there.

Geez!!!!!!!!

$3k for a tree? However I think half the scratches they repaired were offroading scratches. I'd never let the Jeep touch dirt ever again, LOL.

Insurance is weird in Michigan.

Is your homeowner's insurance going to pay to replace the tree?

Heck no!! The tree was on the city lot (between sidewalk and street) and they came out and removed everything, taking up roots and all. I had to place down some soil and patch grass but that's the only expense ($25) that came outta my pocket. They might replant one but so far the neighbors have said they won't. I'm happy its gone cause the giant roots would only be a risk to my sewer pipes and I do see some slight dipping in the front lawn because of the roots.
