ok small update: today i ripped apart my interior, the carpet started to get that moldy smell or whatever. i let it soak for an hour or so, then powerwashed it. looks almost new! (even though you cant really tell in the pics) good thing i didnt buy new carpet like i thought i would. i also spent a good 2 hours cleaning my seats and A LOT of dirt came out of them, but they still dont look as good as they used to. i was also looking at buying 4crawlers seat lifts, but i decided id try and make my own. i just used a bunch of washers i had laying around and longer bolts. pics for yall-









all back together





i also wanted to know if anybody knew where to get a good seat cover that fits nice and tight. i want to sort of keep my seats the way they are and not have them get any worse.

oh and i am working on a video of me and my buddy wheeling that should be up soon.

haha ive been good, getting sick of this weather though. i guess its too much to ask for it to be above 50 degrees in june haha. oh and i just washed those matts yesterday, they get dirty so fast! thats why i ditched those toyota matts haha. thanks, yea, my boss taught me the trick, soak it in soap, then pressure wash it clean. works pretty good!
