Diamonds Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Picked up a 2010 Ford F150 Supercab the other day to use as a go-to for the gun range (replacing my 2007 Tahoe). I bought a truck because I wanted to be able to throw dirty shot-up target stands in the bed without dirtying and scraping the interior panels (like what happened to the Tahoe). It drove me nuts. I also specifically wanted an extended cab so that I could store stuff in there and lock the truck... CURRENT INTERIOR: Interior is/was dirty and has a terrible cigarette smell odor. I did a once-over (will need a second run) on cleaning the interior and windows. I have it to an "Acceptable" point right now but want to go over everything again. I'm currently using a mixture of Ozium and a bucket of coffee grinds to try and fight the smell. INTERIOR PLANS: Got some charcoal colored Katzkin seat covers that are set to be installed on Friday. Also want to look into getting a new steering wheel because the one in it is just now starting to deteriorate. Also, I bought an Ozone Generator (just to have). So, if anyone wants to borrow it just let me know. Also, I just bought husky floormats (the form fitted ones). CURRENT EXTERIOR: Body is in decent shape. Couple small Dings. One dent in the bed which I pushed out pretty well. EXTERIOR PLANS: Going to add a 2 inch leveling kit to the front. I also just snagged an ARE fiberglass tonneau cover for 80 bucks on craigslist (a steal) that I need to install and paint. But, it came with keys and everything so that will make for a great place to leave my guns if we go into a store/food place, etc. I do plan to add some 20x9 wheels and 33 inch tires in the next month to gain a bit of ground clearance. DRIVETRAIN: 5.4L V8, don't plan to modify it. The 4WD does have a little shimmy to it and you have to reverse a few feet to disengage 4wd (common?) but it drives straight otherwise. Having the 4wd checked out tomorrow. PICS of it: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 You'll never get the cig smell out. It's in the hvac vents , headliner etc. I bought a Audi wagon that someone smoked in and the Ozium and coffee grinds. Swapped seats. Nothing worked I got rid of it because I couldn't take it anymore.

Well, truth be told.... I plan to smoke cigars in it.. which leaves a different smell. Should I just use the power of my cigars to out-do the previous owners smell of "domestic violence"?

Geeesammy Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 5.4 is nothing but problems. Best of luck with that and the cig smell. "Reversing" to get out of 4WD is not normal. 4hi should come in and out of 4wd while at a slow (5mph or less) roll. Some trucks can do it at higher speeds than that but it's always sketched me out a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spankis Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Good looking truck. In my old Stealth, removing seats and scrubbing the carpet with simple green got my cig smell out. I did change the complete seats (not just covers) out for leather so that likely helped too. Brian is either Dynotune Brian or somebody at PPC maybe? I suggest some wheels without the fake beadlock bolt heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky31186 Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 For smoke smell, there is a can at autozone I can't remember what it is called right now. You turn the AC on high and pull the pin on the can. Get out and shut the doors, it smokes the entire car out and cleans the air ducts and every piece of fabric. Between that and wiping everything down I got the smell out of a car I bought to sell. OH and good luck with that 5.4.

Smokey Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 The ozone machine you bought will be the best option for removing the smells. Why are all truck wheel options so goddamn ugly? Can you get 20s off of a Navigator or something to work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankis Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 I was bored here before bed, so you get a quick and dirty photoshop: http://i.imgur.com/FEHjTBA.jpg Wheels are ATX Mojave (estimated around a 20 and a 33" tire, might be a touch oversized but close). Also leveled it, removed steps, and painted your door handle body color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
