    After watching this I think all you 3rd Gen guys should feel much better about the security of your hood latch. Obviously a would be vandal that is trying to gain access to your motor would have to set the truck on fire, then beat the front end of it with a pry bar and then saw the latch with a power cutter designed for extracting trapped patients. I'm betting most of them won't go to this much trouble.

    You don't have to gorge yourself on that popcorn, they plant more of it every year. Matter of fact Black Jewell popcorn down the road has it 12" high in the fields and they are still planting it. They should rap up in a couple days.

    I'm willing to bet LED light bar without proper installation/relay.

    I'll bet the wires were too big and let too many amps though.

    It's really dangerous to oversize wires. Just look at the size wire that they have on welders and the amount of heat and sparks they create.:rolleyes:

    Yes, especially if you are refueling your Tacoma.

    Hmmm... Maybe that's what started the fire? :eek:

    Gee...It's too bad that people who talk on their cell phones while driving don't set their own cars on fire. :rofl:
