    Sorry for your loss OP.

    I had hoped it wasn't real because my mind couldn't get over seeing a small burning Tacoma in the living room in your first pic.

    It was just a place to put the little bar. Worked great and wasn't too distracting.

    I'm sure it'll take a while, but please let us (or at least me) know what the cause of the fire is determined to be, if any.

    I have a few electronics installed, with plans to do more, and this thread now has me worried lol.

    Sorry for your loss man, at least that's what insurance is for!

    How common is this? I've got an amp, a sub, HID heads, LED bar and some ditches running from my battery. I visually inspect the wires every oil change.

    This is why you have fuses / breakers installed on all your electrical stuff. It shorts and your fuse pops protecting your vehicle. You do have those right? Then you should be fine.

    Highly uncommon, esp in toyotas. Considering one small light bar and it's location, I'm guessing some fluke with the factory wiring, battery failure, or the like.

    Wow, I'm glad we don't see this often. YEars ago I had a boat motor that suddenly started turning over in my garage. Thick black rubbery smoke coming out like crazy. I was able to get a fire extinguisher on it fast and got it stopped. If I had not been home it could have burned my house down. Something shorted out I guess. Glad you are OK.
