Wow...I am Speechless...That does Suck the big one !!!...Thank God, you came out of it Ok...you can always get another X....

Those are easy to install and aren't very expensive. However you'd have to pop the hood to get to it which may not be an option or be safe (engine fire) in order to get to it.

Hard to believe that a simple self install radio or lights could cause that. A short would fry the fuse, keeping that from happen. Would have to be something much more powerful like a main harness short to do that. Wouldn't it?

Assuming the short happened on the right side of the fuse.

If something broke the shield before the fuse there would be nothing to stop it from sparking.

Damn Paul Glad to see you're alright. Good luck w/ whatever you decide to do. Do you remember hearing the Powertank blow out?

Thank god your alright. Thats just insane.

Theres fuses on the main harness near the battery. If it drew enough to spark a fire you'd think it would melt the fuse.

My daughter's 2000 Intrepid caught fire at the fuse box but didn't go up like that.

Had a lot yes. Sirius, CB, blue lights for fire department, All fused and wired and soldered properly and shielded I thought.

I was able to grab it out of the bracket real quick so luckily no. The airbags were loud and the loudes was the rear gas shocks for the hatch. Blew the metal right out of the way. You can see it in the first pic the gap in the rear hatch.

Is the Front Axle in Good shape ?...maybe you can salvage that...

Unknown. Going to ask insurance if I can take stuff off of it when I talk to them. Filed initial report waiting for claims agent now.

Dude, that really sucks! Glad to see you are ok, the X is replaceable.....

Well did you attempt to use the Powertank as as CO2 fire extinguisher?? Glad your alright, hate you lost your truck!

Good God!!! I got all choked up!!! THANK GOD YOURE OK!!!

Hope the insurance bull**** is smooth as silk for you and you can get another X.

ROCK ON IN THE NEON!!!!!!!!

WTF! Good Lord man?! I can't believe this happened?! Man, glad your ok....so sorry for your loss...that was a nice X you had. Dang, that is just crazy....I feel terrible for you. Let us know at HXOC how things are going...md

R.I.P.

Holy cow! Man, I'm really sorry for your loss but glad you're okay and no one was hurt.

Good luck with everything.

Damn Paul, well glad you are okay and hope everything works out for ya.

I hope everyone is OK.
but what happend.

As everybody else has said, for the umpty-googlth time, glad you're OK!

I am going to get an Xtinguisher ASAP. Yours didn't help in this case, but if you don't try...

On the bright side - maybe you can get a 2nd Gen now!

How did the mods make out? Do the Calmini sliders and bumper just need to be cleaned up and painted? Winch burn up? What happened to your steel horse console? Anything salvagable?

Sliders and bumper appear ok. Just hope I can get them. Insurance moved the vehicle today so don't know how that will work out. Winch looked ok just the cables to the battery were melted. Not hard to replace.

Look at the third pic for what is not left of the steelhorse console.

Damn, that sucks. All bullshit aside, I feel for ya...

Wow...Paul that sucks! I don't know how I would react to that situation, but damn...

wow...thats a huge bummer man. Glad to hear everybody is ok. Hope all goes well with the insurance co. I think there is an 06 with your name on it now!
