Interior shots, and one on the outside

Jpshostr · July 4, 2002

And this is what we call pretty clean on the inside.

And the outside is REALLY clean due to no rain for a while, therefore no mud. All the crud you see on it is cattle manure.

Officer "Son do you know how fast you were going?"

JP "No sir"

Officer "And why is that?"

JP "Well, just look at my gauge cluster, you can't see anything:)"

Seriously though JP, for a work truck it's not too bad. Where I used to work you should've seen some of the guys work trucks, they were absolutely disgusting on the inside. I'm talking garbage, mud, tools, paperwork, etc... all scattered everywhere. Compared to that your truck looks pretty clean.

Tom's probably having a heart attack right now!!

Nice pix, Zaino would like to talk to you about using your truck for the "before" shot.

"All the crud you see on it is cattle manure." - bet that discourages tailgaters

Oh, I know its damn clean compared to how it gets in the springtime when we're calving. Mud and gravel on the floorboards piled way up from our rubber boats. The truck gets vacuumed out once a year, the day before we go to the state fair in August. Any more than that and we are just wasting our time as it'll be dirty as heck in a couple days again anyway. Both dad and I don't let stuff pile up in there though, that just gets annoying.

I just figured these pics would get a good reaction out of a few of you though.

That's not to bad looking. My truck looks worse on the outside that that cause I haven't cleaned it in so long, and I live in a city. That interior is pretty bad, mine has been pretty nasty though. It is amazing what happens when you drive around with windows open all the time and then never close the rear flip-out windows ever. Combine that with all of the freakin' dirt and dust of a desert and our 300+ windy days a year and you get a pretty dirty truck.

Wholly sh*t!!! Can you even see the gauges at night? Or is there so much dust on the lense that blocks out the light.

LOL, nah, but I could clean it up real good for him.

If you want to see REALLY dirty, you should see a truck that is run on a job site at a coal mine. Coal dust sticks to everything and is mesy as he!!. Mix it with some mud or water, and you have one he!! of a mess. I've seen dad's work truck so bad at times that the only things not covered in a hard layer of grayish/black crap is something that moves, like wheels, hinges, fan, and steering shaft. I'll try to get a picture of it sometime when it's pretty bad like that.

Well, there is a reason why the truck doesn't get washed. The DMI bumper holds it.

I think when you go muddin, you're supposed to roll the windows up... :0

Actually, you could just plant some seed and raise a little alfalfa there on the dash ;)

pacodiablo · July 8, 2002

GOOD GOD!! THAT POOR TRUCK!! GET SOME EAGLE ONE OR ARMOURALL NOW!!!

CMNTMXR81 · July 9, 2002

Ok, I'm doing this as a public service for JP, this is what the interior should look like when clean. THis should give you some direction in case you want to try this weekend to clean her up a little.

Look...gauges that you can see...

WOW!!! look at that spotless interior.

Jpshostr · July 9, 2002

Well Lane, some of us use these trucks for what they were made to do, WORK!

And one more interior shot I took this afternoon, I'm thinking this may be the only truck on this forum with mud, cow manure, diesel fuel, and oil tracked into it (all are on the floor in this pic). Oh, and yes, that is manure on my right pant leg.
