carpet removal...

[exosteve]

I cleaned me car today after me pay and play day yesterday
However it still feels pretty grubby and damp inside.
I cleaned all the plastic and leather but the carpets are wet and full of mud
Im thinking its easier to keep clean and dry if I rip em out
Do I have to remove the seats and stuff? or can I just cut and pull?is there any wires underneath? and lastly will it make it noiser and more difficult to warm?
cheers lads

Never took one out but you will get more road noise & it will be a bit cooler inside the truck on cold days. I notice a big difference in road noise if I have the load cover folded back but once folded flat over the boot it's much quieter

I would use some elbow grease n clean the interior right up, then get some really good floor covers.

binned the boot cover binned the boot side panels.
its not just the mud on the rugs. its the stinky water I go through and the condensation problems until dry.
I guess I will have to do a list of pros and cons. but one things for sure.
I use it and abuse it.and it will never be "a car" again

Bin the carpets , no wires to worry about, they're all in conduit stuff
Top tip, put some sort of sand and paint mix on the floor under the peddles. Saves slippy feet missing the peddle you wanted

Some good truck bed liner paint would do the job nicely

Good idea, I think POR do a spray on one

Even halfrauds now sell the stuff there is spray on or paint/roller on & the good stuff has small bits of rubber in it to give a none slip finish
Ok Congrats on the 1K posts Steve
