This was wrote for one of my escort. almost the same concept.

Keep in mind that any trim panels use retainer clips which should be removed using the tool, otherwise buy a pack of them to replace them when the break. You run the risk of breaking the panels etc without the tool of course.

Needs:
Metric socket set, screwdrivers
SIMPLE GREEN cleaner (I used about a half gallon of it, buy it buy the gallon & buy a spray bottle) $10
Aerosol vinyl & carpet paint/dye (I used 1.5 cans of Duplicolor) $5/can
(color of your choice, I got some tan that matched my factory carpet fairly well)

1. Remove seats, front & rear
2. Remove console & door jamb trim
3. Unscrew seat belts from front (torx bits needed here)
5. Remove carpet all in one piece (fold it up before removing and all the loose crap will come with it), dump crap out & shake out any loose bits.

enjoy :judge:

if your taking the carpet out hit it with a powerwasher to really get it clean

^^ good ideas, but why dont we just try to keep our trucks clean in the first place lol

Talk about "bringing it back from the dead"! Wow, that's impressive.

Well some ppl get trucks that the previous owner prolly never heard of vacuming and such...

my seats are faded, will that carpet dye work on them?

I have had a few cars like that...

my seats are faded, will that carpet dye work on them? if there faded i would just use tiedie or carpet dyi.

That looks pretty good but if yall are worried about the price there is a can called "Oxy Power Out" made by Turtle wax and it will do the same thing I found it at autozone its only about $5 or $7 dollars. I used it in my truck cause i had some oil and all sorts of grud in my truck and it took it right up.

As a note, i just did a full cleaning on mine with "Lifter 1" carpet cleaner.. light blue aerosol can.. i used 2 cans... have 1 more to use on the seats... here are some before and after

lucky_topher you had the same stain on the passenger side as my ranger when I cleaned the carpet. Weird.

Now it looks comfortable. Yeah you are right! You and my cousin did almost the same thing before when he change his very much dirty truck carpet. Since it is a brand new carpet I suggest him to put also a floor mats (http://www.truckaccessorywholesale.com/specials/floor_mats.html) and any other accesories on it. It looks good.

nice..

Hmmm.

What if you don't have carpet? :-)

i keep my truck clean so i dont need this, but you didnt explain how to do anything. looks good tho.

My carpet is hopelessly stained as well (It's gray and has salt chunks and ths brown tinge to it), I am VERY tempted to do this when I apply sound deadener to the floor of my truck... Thanks for posting.

the best stuff i have used so far is the blue magic from autozone, aerosol cans. here are my before and after pics. this was previous owner ****, not me. i wanted to remove the carpet, but mother unit threw a fit, so...... this is a few hours after i bought the truck.......nasty ass.....

and this is 3 hours later.... 25 dollars worth of blue magic. yes the pass side was hard as a rock where it is dirty, felt like gum. also there were cig. burns UNDER the seat....got those out too. i used no water, just the blue magic, a stiff nylon brush and about 30 white shop towels. i will be doing this again in about a week with 2 cans blue magic and a spray bottle of water. after pics :)

seats are next, will prolly try and get a set of stock covers put on them, and i need a new armrest ( i assume we all do)

looks a ton better.

at work we have a 2 gal upholstery cleaner that we rent out, its made by a company called NOBLES, it works very good, and you can even leave your carpet in, just take out your seats, and yes it does work on seats to, just make sure you have some time to let the seats dry though

no offense to dwnshfter, but i think the only place Ive seen worse interiors is at the junkyard

thats amazing! thanks for the tip!
