If my truck is on fire I'm letting it burn. Just saying.

No way I want a burned truck fixed. Lettit burn and take the insurance and move on

I guess nobody but the owner will know if he could have used a fire extinguisher or not.

Personally if I found myself pulling over with a few flames coming out of the hood and I had an extinguisher, I would try to save the truck. dealing with insurance and rebuying and reinstalling all my parts again would suck.

if it was really roaring, then I would be afraid of it blowing up so i'd let it burn.

hopefully i'll never have to be in that situation.

The latest Ram eco-diesel recall mentions four persons being injured by attempting to put out their engine fire.

that's cuz they didn't have gas struts for the hood and kept burning themselves setting the hood prop.....no just teasing.

The heat would make those gas struts pop.......... maybe the hood fell on them?

That reminds me - anyone put gas struts on Jeep hoods? Like the ZJ and WJ and others had?

I just need one of those wheels
maybe cars should come with a donor card. This JT could make 4 other JTs really happy with its wheel donation.

Well it didn't take him long to replace one limited with another. No word on the cause of the damage.

Surprisingly does not appear to be any damage to the front tires... so maybe could be 4 spares!

Be nice if we could find out what happened.
Yep I'd love to know if his insurance company gave him any grief over his winch.
