I had to blow up a 98 Wrangler today and it ran for about 20 min and then let go. I started back to the shop and looked back and the white smoke turned black and that is when it went wrong. The jeep went up quick we tryed to put it out but could not get it. It got so hot that it melted the condencer into a pile of scrap, blew out the front tires, and sent the airbags flying across the lot. I have some video on my phone if I can get it to my computer I will post it but here is a pic.

And it was Green before the fire also and it melted the windsheild into the floor

the little 4 banger put up a fight and when it was on fire the starter shorted out and it even started back up again
 
ahhh! I need that hood and grill!!!


C4C is total crap! Anyway, friend of mine was at the dealer the other day and saw a really nice CUCV pickup. Said it looked like it had been restored, no rust, nice new paint, super clean, etc. He asked about it and turns out someone traded it in on C4C so they couldn't do anything with it except destroy it...

the rear tires were about to go they have no tread on the tops of them were the fire got them

THe timing cover on the engine was also melted and it had to be about 1650 F for that to happen

It's funny how many late-er model vehicles you see that are burnt.A buddy of mine calls em friction fires,friction between the payment book and the insurance policy.
