So my cousins '94 2wd, Ext. Cab, 5spd, 2.3L, Ranger caught on fire the other day. Heres some pics













He was behind his house checking out something and the truck got stuck so he tried rocking it out. He heard a "pop" sound and the truck shut it self off. He opened the hood a little bit, just where the latch catches it and the engine bay was in flammed. The fire was so hot the glass ended up melting to the floor boards. He lost his rifle which was up against the back of the cab and his VF radio which was in the cup holder on the floor.


He is selling everything from the box back (lights, bumper, axle, rims etc...)

 

omfg.. glad he was okay

 

As the Fire dpt got there the flames where just hitting the gas tank. He is very lucky to be alive

 

i woulda just ran away from her if she was on fire..

 

Wow, scary stuff. I have had a truck catch fire in my garage, a car start while driving and a semi's brakes catch fire, although none have been nearly that bad. Since those incidents I always feel incredibly bad for the owner, I don't know what I'd do if my Ranger burnt after I'm done all my work.

 

He called his VF dpt and they went right there in less then 5 mins. I helped him after drag it to his drive way. We think it was a fuel line but not sure. Teh insurance guy is going to his house Wednesday to figure out what happened.

 

Wow. That's horrible. RIP.

 

Well I'll be looking into a fire extinguisher.

Thats crazy. I'm glad he's ok.

 

He wants to part it so any interest get a hold of me

 

he should cut the box off and make a trailer out of it .... would be pretty sweet especially if he replaces it with another ranger.

 

looks like downeys truck's identical twin with a little less paint.

 

always some ****ed up comment

 

wow that looks horrible. But atleast he's okay.

 

That sucks big time!

 

that sucks man how much for the box and tail gate?

 

I'll know by Wednesday after the insurance guy looks at it. I think the front of the box where the cab is closest to is a little burnt and the drop in line is "crispy". I know that box has no rust on it

 

well as long as the metals not screwed up

 

Man its crazy how much damage fire can do to a vehicle, coulda been alot worse tho

 

Thats what I told me cousin when we were moving it. I could only
imagine what it would have looked like if the fire got to the gas tank.

 

So Its a go, we are starting to part it.

Box
Tail gate
Tail lights
Tail light harness
Rear bumper
Rear bumper brackets
4 alloy rims and a steel spare

Pretty much anything from the cab back.

 

^^ should make a FS Thread following the rules so people don't have to go digging in this thread to find the stuff.

 

Wow, that sucks dude

 

Yeah I still have to pull the parts and see what he wants to sell them for.

 

holy $h!t dude....

thats wicked

glad he's alright

 

poor poor extra crispy ranger.....
