It's getting closer
Well my truck has been at the body shop for over two months now and is finally getting close to finished. I hit a tree the day before thanksgiving and have been fighting with the insurance company and dodge ever since. The insurance guy drug his feet deciding whether or not to total it. They finally decided to fix it but when ordering parts we had a lot of trouble getting a door. The first 2 that were sent were dented and scratched but the third was perfect. Hopefully I'll have it back next week.

How big of tree was it? I took out a telephone pole, and then went through an orchard last year. If I wouldn't have cliped a tree branch the damage wouldn't have been that bad considering I took out the pole. I was lucky I hit right at the frame and not dead center. You got any pics of the wreck?

wasn't a very big tree but I hit on the side. It did have to go to the frame shop but they said it was a really easy fix so hopefully it will still drive straight.

Hope your truck turns out good!

Yeah that is bad news. That happened to a guy I worked with in a company vehical. Termite 06 a tree doesn't really have to be that big to do a lot of damage, they don't give like those poles do. It does look like you have some pretty good damage. I'll try to post mine if i can figure it out.
