Well... So, my truck burned down

“Larson” any relation to Arson?

 

Glad your ok OP. Scary shit.

 

No I'm to old to go to prison. I would hurt someone though if they tried putting the fire out if my truck caught fire. LOL!

 

I would of been doing my happy dance.

 

Touché

 

I got a few pictures and a few videos, my friends got a whole bunch of videos and pics themselves. I was just too busy trying to process everything and handle the shit storm that comes with your car catch on fire. Besides I’m not really sure how to post a video on here

 

Needs to be uploaded to YouTube then linked here

 

Likely OP's electrical mods, non fused and not properly secured stuff will cause this.

 

They were actually all fused (multiple), had a breaker, and properly grounded. Again, not ruling it out, just saying the possibility is slim

 

Whatever happened please do update us on what the insurance company says started the fire, I think we're all interested to find out.

 

Improperly routed / not secured wire against a hot exhaust manifold....

Most car fires are electrical if they havnt been in an accident.

 

Ignorant to think that diy electrical work on a vehicle has a slim chance of causing a fire.

 

Name your next truck Phoenix and rise from your ashes. Damn man, that is terrifying.

 

I saw a guy today with the mother of all mullets. It went past the middle of his back and he make it bounce as he walked. He had on a shirt that said, “I’m Single” I thought, No Shit! I will check the dash cam tomorrow and see if I can find it.

 

This isn't the early 1970's where stock fuel fitting/lines are even remotely likely to fail and cause a fire. The only way a stock fuel deliver system is going to leak and burst into flames is if you are involved in a gnarly car crash and things get mangled around. 0.00000000000000001% chance this is the fault of Toyota, especially when it comes down to something like a flipping fuel line. Who knows maybe a ferret made a nest in his engine bay and that shit caught on fire or something like that , way more likely.

 

No, this is the early 2019’s, where the HPFP leaks leaving puddles of gasoline on the ground.

 

Geezus. Sorry to hear about your truck.

I haven’t done any electrical mods to mine either. I better park mine outside. Away from the house.

 

Glad you're ok...sorry about the truck. Just a thought, squirrels can build a nest in the engine compartment in a matter of hours. Also, mice will chew/fray wires. I pulled 3 squirrel nests out of my wives car last summer/fall. Fortunately, on one occasion, we could smell the leaves burning and pulled over in time and removed the nest before it ignited. Good luck

 

I see your pun and appreciate it... Jokes aside, thank you for the kind words
