I didn't hook the winch, just suffered. Repair is over $2000 not counting the upper hatch cost. 
Looking for alternatives.

We've all done things like this at one time or another. Shiite happens and so a lesson learned I'm sure.
For $2K you can buy a whole parts truck.
Can you pull the liner and knock out the dent above the hatch? Do you need a new hatch or just the glass? I've heard of 80s being kinda common at the PaP in Augusta.

I can get a hatch cheap. The issue is the body damage but I'm going to pull the liner. The crushed area has channel reinforcements which I will have to cut out of the way I guess. The hatch closes now but it's too distorted for glass. I thought about a lexan window with the existing hatch. I don't know. I might go get a hatch tomorrow.
Another issue is the fact that I have no body work experience. I need help.
Ouch, big tree. Body work ain't too bad, all depends on how "good" you want it to look. Just glad everyone is ok
Robert, I know the dent is in a difficult area to fix but if you google repairing dent in roof or get specific, the are a lot of car forums that have a ton of info on that type of fix. I did not get to look too closely at the dent, but it seemed like the hing area wa OK.
I would post up some pics in the paint and body section and I bet someone can point you in the right direction.

No. That whole area is smashed on the right side.
I think its a good time to cut it up and make it a buggy...

There's an LX on CL for parts. Maybe you could get the whole ride for less than $2K?

I have a rear hatch now. It's white and not as nice as mine was. It closes but it is not aligned properly. I'm still working on it.
Yeah it's def too far gone. Time to get out the sawzall and torch!
