  • jeep caught on fire last night

    Sitting at a light on my way home fuse box decides its had enough. Smoke and glowing from under the dash. Pulled the fire extinguisher out, put it out and in the rush I neve shut the jeep off. Thing was still running with the fuse box melted. No idea what caused it. All the gauges are dead, fuel gauge is pegged past full. Not looking good. It did rain here last night for 10 min of so, it was outside but had he bikini top on it. It still still runs and drives though.

              Sounds like a classic too much boost scenario. Should part it out and send me all the turbo fixings.
