and attract less attention because the big green truck got pulled over and searched all the time cause it stood out and the cops at school dont like loud country music, or exhaust, or window tint, or college students ahaha

to check the wires in the column tilt it up and down and see if it starts down or up. Usually if you have a broken wire it wont work one direction but it will work the other way

You would like your carpet if you cleaned it and then put Dupont carpet protector in it I put that stuff in there (after completely cleaning and dying the carpet back to the original color everywhere) and my lil bro spilled big red everywhere earlier and it just vacuumed right out. I was soooo about to flip my rocker, but its all good now. And I JUST had gotten the truck back.

its not about mudding its just about general use and theres alotta time when just working or out driving around i end up walking through stuff that gets caught on my boots and i dont have to worry about stains or spills ever.

it works for me. its like the reason people have carpet but get rubber liners
