So how did her homecoming happen? 1-she knew before getting home , 2 she smelled it and then you told her, 3 you met her outside with a couple beers and told her after the beers were down ?
All kidding aside , she sounds like a keeper ,. Glad all worked out well and the truck looks great .

I called her about 20 minutes after the fire department left. Thought it would be better than her finding out from a neighbor.

I had those pro comp tires on a silverado years ago and thought the same thing. Almost scary in the rain. I did remove them after not to long and went a different route.

Absolutely! They were horrible in the rain, first time the truck has ever fishtailed going around a corner.

Hey everybody, just wanted to follow up and let everyone know the outcome of the horror a few weeks ago. Here's a re-cap for everyone https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/bhlm-gone-horribly-wrong.538082/

Wound up getting a brand new stove and was only $125 out of pocket to cover the pro-rated cost of the old stove. Apparently it was 10 years old and was going to be replaced once we moved out in a few months.

I also treated the Tacoma to 4 new shoes and a suspension upgrade.
- Pro Comp A/T Sport 265/70/17's
- Bilstein 5100's all the way around
- EMU 285's up front

Not sure I like the tires, a bit more squirrely than I like, especially on wet roads.Huge noticeable difference in mileage as well. I do a ton of highway driving and am going to replace them with Nitto Durra Grapplers, which is a light truck highway tire.

Lastly, my wife was super cool about the whole disaster, and just glad that no-one got hurt and the house didn't burn down. Gave us a good excuse to go out for beer and pizza that night.

Thanks to everyone for the "love" they showed that day, made me feel much better.

Ok, so let me get this straight.

You stunk up the house

You ruined a couple hundred dollars of headlights

You spent $125 on a replacement oven

AND THEN YOU BOUGHT

Pro Comp A/T Sport 265/70/17's

Bilstein 5100's all the way around

EMU 285's up front

AND STILL HAD TO REPAIR/REPLACE HEADLIGHTS?

And the kicker... the wife was cool with it and you had no dog house time? Dude, you won the lottery. She's definitely a keeper. Tell her so!

Your stove needs a Toyota decal on the bottom panel.

Your headlights look terrible. I think you need to modify them - by putting them on a towel - in the stove lol... Please make sure nobody is home and the fire department is on standby!

Next time you should boil your headlights in a turkey fryer.
