Two hours worth of cleaning and I feel comfortable sitting in it.  I love just being able to take a hose to the inside of my truck  :yupyup:  alot of simple green some bleach and some elbow grease. 

im from SC where is levi? never heard of it...
whoops ya caught me.  I meant the levee right down by ocean streat.   :gap: typing too fast.


Great to hear you got it back!  now :whip:

:yupyup:  that is the plan.  while it was gone I got a loan approval for a newer car (will be a 4Runner for my work vehicle) as soon as i get that, let the :flamer: begin!

lysol works well. blood huh? how much? as far as contamination goes, jsut wear gloves... most bloodborn pathogens are dead outside the body pretty quickly... except for the hepatitus strains that can live outside the body for a week!
not much.  on the tranny tunnel, i was carefull.  :yesnod:

my buddy had his truck stolen....it was dirty as hell when he got it back but the rims were spit shined to perfection and they found a crack pipe under the seat..i found it rather amusing :cheese:
That is Funny!

what can you say.. junkies like dem rimzzz!!!
Yes they do.

wow that is crazy man. I live in such a small world and I've never been exposed to drugs or its affiliated "tools" so this just blows my mind. Can't believe they left all of their crap behind.

Good thing its back!! Now the real pressing question on my mind is: How is the 10th Anniversary Marlin Crawler BLING Turtle Shift Knob?? :ack:

Funny you should ask BigMike, but as i was driving it yesterday i was thinking it felt better than ever!!   :biggthumpup:





Here is my absolute very next mod.. in conjuction with a hidden kill switch.

You may want to call the detective and let him know that's what you're doing, that way they don't hold you liable if you do come up with something :dunno:

or even aids


as i mentioned before, and including aids, it dies off pretty quickly outside the body... if the blood is dry already there should be no chance of infection

AIDS in the blood can last up to 2 weeks in dry blood... be careful Wermy.

Give a man venison, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to hunt Blacktail, he'll be frustrated for life!

what is your source on this? because it goes against all the stuff i just now googled and what my paramedic instructors taught me in class


i would actually be a lot mroe worried about hepatitis, as it can live for a week in dried blood and will kill you a lot faster than aids

I'm with jimbo on this, everything I've learned about the virus indicates that is essentially harmless in dried bodily fluids after a few hours, let alone days.

New here (looking for a 4runner) and to CA, I never knew SC was sketchy, just read this and psyched you got your rig back, sounds totally insane but in the end it worked out for you. 

Definitely treat the inside like a biohazard area, seriously.

Not sure why you had to pay to get it out of the yard if it is yours and was stolen then recovered.

I'll ask a stupid Q here, would a lojack help out with all of these thefts?

Someone has to pay for the services provided by the tow company, the police cannot leave the vehicle once they recover it so they must remove it from the location for safe-keeping. The vehicle is your responsibility so you must pay for the expense to move it. Something your insurance would pay for if you had full coverage. If they ever catch the idiot that took it you could sue them in small-claims but I don't see that happening.

Yup!  the tow truck companies have to make money as well.
