    I don't know if this person is a member of the forum but I'd like to give this person some credit.

    It's so sad to see all the destruction from the fires.

    What a hero!

    **update**Toyota says they will get him a NEW TUNDRA!
    BFG will hook him up with tires!

    Toyota should use him and his rig for advertising and give him a new truck.

    Whatever I have, he can have. If not- I’m sure we can figure out something for him.

    I say he leaves it as it is. Battle scars ftw! How much of a panty dropper would it be when people ask why his truck looks like that and he has that story.

    Good luck to the cop who tries to pull him over looking like that, right?



    And since this is Tundras.com, you’ll notice it’s a White Tundra. That’s what made it faster than a raging forrest fire. A black or mgm one would have burned up for sure.

    No need to muddy this thread up with truck colors. This BA used his awesome tundra to save himself and others.

    I don't know the man, but I imagine he"s the kind that wouldn't want publicity from his actions !
