Hi Axle,
Not sure. I'm trying to find a link to the first one that burnt out.
It was much further south than this one and from memory it was a Cherokee.

Gearbox built for roads.
Hot day, hard work, gearbox oil boils out through the breathers onto exhaust. No way u can stop the fire. It has been mentioned before. Its a Jeep thing. If you look close at the vid u will see the oil under the 4wd catching fire as it boils off intermittently.
Either that or there was an egg in the cabin.
Cheers

Yes, that was my first thought too, just not cleaned up after themselves. Hope they do it soon.

Lets get together and recover the wreck to Anna Bay.
If anyone is interested I will contact the council & arrange for them to pick up from the
beach access lane.

Hi Eric,
Interesting observation.
Out of curiosity how can you tell that from the photo's. I've got no idea how to tell stuff like that, even yesterday when I was standing beside it!!

just look at the
pic and you can see from the colour of the vehicles metal , as to were the fire intensity was. My guess , from the
pic , fire started in the back
seat . Also looks like the fire had plenty of air from the rear of the vehicle , like a rear tail
gate open ,
Ok , he didnt have a fire Extinguisher . Whats wrong with the sand thats around him and of course no one had a bucket , as there was water in
miles lol

Something is definitely 'crook in
Tallarook' here.
Those bundles of wire/cables inside look like those found inside tyre beads.
If so why are there two inside the passenger area.

Hi Lucy,
I wouldn't read too much into the tyre bead wire being inside the cab.
At a guess it was thrown in after the fire. The two left hand rims are missing, I'd say whoever took the rims tossed the wire inside the vehicle.
I didn't know until yesterday those little blighters have drum brakes on the rear! Or at least this one did!!

Hey, notice how I slid the Troopy into one of the photo's to give you heart??
But it's an odd one that fire isn't it?

Yes Mate!
A strange one it is.
Wonder what the insurance company was told.
And I do like the Troopy - nice touch that and not a 'Missan Nissan' in sight.
