Default Easy cheap invisible way to keep your truck smelling fresh!

Something I just thought of, that works great and I figured i'd share it with you guys

On our trucks, the heat/AC comes to our feet through these tubes, on either side of the center of the truck.



All I did was take two of those sheets you put in your dryer to keep things from getting static and to smell fresh, folded them up into probly like 16ths, and stuck them in there. I left the air on full blast for a while and they didn't move at all, the air flows freely, and smells great. You'll probably have to change them maybe once every month or whatever, but they arent a fruity air freshener, they just keep things smelling clean.

Enjoy!

Edit: Those red wires you see are for my power windows that I installed. It looks like they are in the way of the pedals.. but they arent, thats the only place where it isnt tucked underneath the carpet, and there is enough play that it is completley unnoticable and doesn't get in the way at all. I just realized it looks bad, though.

But hey, good idea, my mom is allergic to damn near all the fruity ones so this might be worth trying

Well, mines starting to smell like cigar smoke.. and I don't particularly care, but my girlfriend is allergic, so I try to keep it smelling nice for her. I cant stand any of the fruity stuff, but this smells just fresh and clean. Its pretty nice actually.

Girl friends don't need convincing, Just say Biatch, (speeling on purpose) look at my new seats. When your married is when you have to start convincing.

It was a pain in the ***, but once I got it figured out it wasnt so bad. I'd be more then happy to help you. And i know, yeah haha wires wrapped around the pedals.. but they really arent in the way. If it was a hazard at all, i'd have cut them right away and re routed. But its really not a big deal./
