Bummer, did all the passengers get out okay? Was it electrical or a fuel problem? That could have been ugly as dry as it has been. As long as no people were hurt and the woods didn't burn down. there are millions of XJs out there. He can replace it.

Saw some pics of it on a guy's phone at work...seemed like it was pretty well built, sitting on 37's and tons of accessories. Completely incinerated right at the top of 311. You'd think with all of the money put into it that he or even one of the 5 other rigs with him could afford a fire extinguisher.

Tbrown is the forum member who lost his toy.
Good reminder to check your fire extinguisher.
