thanks

The floor molding by the doors just pops right off, not sure but i think the carpet pretty much lifts up after that but not 100% sure. If its not real wet dont even bother, just hit it with a wet/dry vac if you got access to one or the ones at the coin car wash. Also you can hit it with your air compressor hose to blow the water out of the carpet if you got a compressor. Ive done this when it wasnt bad and its worked good, no water molds grew :grin:

I think Stephen just need's to have his entire truck dipped in a vat of Line-X. :read:

How much you think that would cost me :crazy: I serisouly need that! When im doing my SFA im putting POR on everything you can see underneath pretty much. Its suposed to hold up to just about anything. ALL the suspension will be done, the frame, who knows what else. Also if anyone knows a place that does line-x for a good deal let me know, I really am in the market to do the floorboards etc... Then maybe some wet oakle seat covers... I could get it pretty damn easy to wash!
