had a bonfire pit in the bed of my truck saw ash blowing around thought nothing of it then it tiped over and i guess it had hot coals from the night before still and all the sudden i saw thick thick thick black smoke and flames above my cab. i pulled into a parking lot and saw a blanket was on fire in my bed i calmly took all the beer and whiskey out of the cooler i had and poured 10-15lbs of ice on the fire that put out the bulk of it then i poured root beer on the rest of the fire. also my bed rail was so hott it burned my arm when i poured the cooler on it. now i need some new camp chairs haha.

then to make things better my g/f locked the keys in the house it had the house key and my truck key. so had to wait 2 hours for my brother to come with his spare key.....

can anyone else say there trucks been on fire when they were drving it??

 

thank god you saved the whiskey

 

yeah i was gonna pour it all on there and grab it after but the jack would have caught fire and tehre was a can or 2 of bug spray in the mix as well ha

 

Dang dude!!!!!

 

i cleaned everything before my g/f went to work the black on the paint came off from the power washer its white now lol.

 

I don't have the words. At least the alcohol wasn't lost.

 

you sir, are the hero to all whiskeys!!!

 

No comment.

 

So you were hauling a bonfire pit in the bed and it tipped over?
Those pics look horrible.

I haven't seen carnage like that since that time I was hauling a portie-potty.

 

Am I missing something? You had a bon fire in the bed of your truck? That is the hickest of hick things to do.

 

ok we had a bonfire till 4am LAST night and this morning at 11:30 AM i grabed it and threw it in the bed of my truck there were apparently some hot coals still left over and a 40mph wind in the bed made the bonfire pit tip over and spill the coals they landed on a blanket and some random cups and what not in the bed and the 45 mph air made the flames shoot real high when i slowed down it was nuts.

yeah i calmly took all 4 of the sam adams cherry wheat the half gallon of jack and the 5th of pariot bay out of the cooler along with the mason jar drinking mug and 3 shot glasses then poured the ice on. and used a whole 2 liter of root beer too.

 

Did you check to see if the coals were still hot???? I would have.

 

nah i didnt think the thing would flip over in the bed and i figured it sitting doing nothing from 4am-11am there would be nothing left to be hott. i think im gonna put a fire extinguisher in my truck and make sure i pour water on these bonfire pits before i put them in my bed.

 

Im just lost. Why would you put hot coals in the bed of your truck? Like....wtf?! Why dont you leave them on the ground like a normal person would.........

 

Thank you!!!!!
