    I'm just adding my admiration @Pandra all who step up in times of danger. Natural instinct is to run from a fire, It takes a Man's Man (and Women) to go into the flames.

    Toyota should step up and hook this guy up with a new rig and put this one in a museum somewhere.

    @831Tun I also saw that you offered up your services/labor on IG, to help him get it going again. Good on you sir! Communities like this are something special. Don’t know if he’ll take you up on it but the thought counts. Same goes for all of you that offered up any type of help. Whether parts, time or money.

    That’s almost 500 miles away for me. Funds are tight right now, but If he was closer I would love to turn some wrenches for this dude! If anyone sets up some type of fund me page for this guy. I will donate what I can. I just love stories like this.

    Hell insurance would probably deny claim as he did it on purpose...twice.

    Just read Panda's reply to being called a Hero, said he's a Nurse. To me, thats Twice a Hero.

    I'm guessing, since he's a healthcare professional, that he's still busier than a 3 legged cat in a litter box.

    The internet never lets me down. Wether it’s a hero like this getting what he rightfully deserves for his services or midget donkey porn, the internet always does the right thing.

    Once BFG got ahold of it, it’ll go viral and you can bet that Toyota will buy his truck back and give him a new one just for a commercial.


    Seriously, how many guys here are going to buy some BFGs just because of their post? If it’s more than 2, they’ve made their money back. I don’t see Toyo stepping up to handle the marketing gold mine.


    Side note, I’m in a Mexican hotel parking lot a few beers deep. Also beers are Cadillac margaritas.


    Cheers. Keep this thread updated.
