    So yesterday morning around 5, I woke up to my mother in law screaming that my truck was on fire.
    By the time I saw it, it was engulfed in the front end. Fire investigator thinks battery or fuse box or a wire in that area caused it. Needless to say, it's totalled.
    It had 166k on it.

    Bummer man, but that's why we have insurance.

    If you were closer to me, I'd offer to snag the bed and doors off of it for a few ideas I have / been inspired towards.

    Man that really sucks.

    That first pic threw me off big time, thought your truck was on fire in your living room because of the reflections on the window lol.

    That’s sucks. But that damn light bar mounted in the middle of the hood would have drove me crazy. Hope it all works out.
