Well i dont know. Im trucker and place where i park my Tahoe when i go on the road is some trucking company parking lot that we all pay for parking our trucks and trailers. I have no idea that someone wanna fwak with 6.6" 350 lbs trucker who happened to be gun lover with CCW. Go figure. I tought it was guy 2 spots from me since he hated me from last year when he backed into my bumper guard on my Volvo. He end up paying cash so he dont go thru insurance and i told him, if you mess with my truck or Tahoe, im not going to harm your truck, ill harm enyone thats around you when i found you. But it wasnt him since he was on the rod when this happened. I guess thats Bosnian thing, we dont like when someone mess with our vehicles. If i ever found who did this sh#t he is done
I think a few more truck got demages in same time, so i dont know if i was targeted.
Im gonna install camera that turn on by it self if someone is close to the vehicle like i have one on my truck

You're not impressing anyone with bravado. At any rate, thats not even close to 10k in damage pictured. 5500 could get that in oem shape.

Excuse me, but what bravado means. In the last 15 years i bean in the US i have never heard that one
Courage maybe ?

Today i spoke with insurance company and they wanted to write it off. I told them i wanted to have it fixed. They think its LT model by the v # and since i rebadge it there is no LTZ emblem on my Tahoe. So i had to call local GM dealer and have them email me bild sheet so i can prove insurance that i have LTZ or how GM call it LTZ package/s. Damn. I do miss State Farm

Since im waiting on insurance i played little bit with removing rear wiper arm and lift gate handle just to see who would look without it. Lift gate handle was easy to remove once you remove panell off. 4 10mm nuts, 2 plastic clips, disconnect connector and came off easy. Wiper arm is different story. Wiper rm is stuck for good on wiper motor rod. Tried pounding little bit but wont give up even with PB Blaster. Rod is soft material so bent easy. Only way to remove it is to cut the wiper motor rod behind wiper arm

Here is one pics how lookd like without lift gate handle

Yesterday i got call from insurance again. Since i send insurance build sheet that i got from local GM dealer lady told me its Tahoe is repairable because now they know its LTZ and worth much more than they thought. So now they want me to go to the "their" body shop. I was like hold your horses. Let me see estimate that your appraiser made last week. So she send me estimate that should have $10600. And yeah it was $10600 minus $500 and another $1600 for betterment or code B50% how they use on paper. I asked why, was there any prior demges, she said no but mister if we paint whole carr its gonna be in better shape than before. I told her i insured this and my other vehicles because agent told me they use new parts on claims and so on. I was like why do i pay full coverage if you cant give me full repair. She couldnt answer it. So now its $8500. I was gonna ask them why they didnt include demaged plastic trim and some weatherstrips but now im getting even less. Once again i do miss State Farm. Ill be going back to the State Farm once this claim is done

Law (at least here in Texas) you can have your vehicle repaired at whatever shop you wish. You must have some fly by night insurance company.

I take all my cars to the respective dealership for body work and paint. And nowhere else.
