That's one hell of a way to treat a perfectly good truck. It's a slick rig for hauling them out,though. I hope they put a patent on the design. Lots of recovery companies would be interested in that. It sure wouldn't be cheap for them the recovery and the insurance company would just laugh at you if you tried to claim it.
If a tree falls on your ex in the woods and nobody hears it,you should probably still get rid of your chainsaw. Just sayin'....

I would have thrown it back, looks like a chevy.
I’m suspicious of people who don't like dogs, but I trust a dog who doesn't like a person.

A lot of insurance co, cover thru comp. I'm told but don't intend to find out, truck stays on shore. Something must cover it cause no one could afford the recovery costs.
I'd rather be fishing! Unless you want to go hunting!

300 hours? That will be quite the bill! (or fixed price quote?)
Now how much to get it back in running, 2014 condition?

I had been told that insurance doesn't cover vehicles going through the ice.
His came out in pretty good shape - the one they pulled out of Mink lake a few years back in late winter - they just dragged it back through the ice and boulders. It wasn't even recognizable as a truck (except by the rims) when they got it out. I'd guess his is write-off anyway though.

Man , That's got to cost a fortune ,and I am no mechanic but to get it running again I would imagine it would have to be dis assembled , dried and lubed and them put back together again. How long would that take ??

My understanding is if you have "All perils" or "Comprehensive coverage" you will be cover by your insurance but this needs to be checked with your insurance and it isn't for free either.

300 hours or roughly 25 days to recover a truck is not the norm. Not that I would ever take my truck on the ice but I sure wouldn't call these guys.......

I was thinking the same thing.
300 man hours? Or roughly 7 full time staff working 40 hours on the week? Something stinks....and it's not the interior of the truck.
"Camo" is perfectly acceptable as a favorite colour.
