Take the carpet to the car wash and spare it till you run out of quarters. I pulled mine a few years ago because it was sticky. I laid it on the driveway and sprayed heavy amounts of dawn and lysol on the fabric and scrubbed it. The rinse looked like coca cola. I did this several times until the rinse was less dangerous and brown. Once dry, the carpet felt amazing and soft.
I'm wondering if the knocking sound might be the murder weapon from the crime scene in your interior?
Great save. Glad it's not going to the crusher. I personally would think hard about putting vinyl or some non-carpet material in there. I do not understand that a utility vehicle would have carpeting and leather seats. For me, it would be cloth (maybe vinyl) and definitely no carpet. That way, when there is a muddy mess or even spills and puking, it's not a big deal. My "cheerful and cheap" utility vehicle is a Honda Element, and frankly I LOVE that the interior is made of some rubbery/plasticky compound, it is REALLY easy to clean the insides.
Timken races with nameless wheel bearings (WTH ... who only replaces the bearings and not the race?)
Probably didn't have the punch to remove the races? lol
Decided to paint my front end after reading @Joe Link 's thread and seeing how well his turned out. First time painting with POR-15. Pretty happy with how the product went on and covered.
Etched the rust with phosphoric acid and washed with Zinc Phosphate for better adhesion.

Piece of conduit through the housing made for rotating the housing easy when painting.

Apparently I've really run out of things to do while I'm waiting for suspension components. This is all somehow @Joe Link 's fault.
