The carpet is brown soooo it might be ok! LOL
Was that van actually a syncro? looks like an 85 interior. If not then its no
worse than the stock jack getting muddy, If it is a syncro then whats a little
mud! You should see the inside of my ride after a day of wheeling... There is
crap everywhere from getting bounced around and out of place or hell I've even
rolled over and you should see the interior sh#@ stew from stuff flying
around!!!
Just my 2 cents!
If it works for ya go with it...if not...don't
Man if I listened to everything everyone told me to do and not do I'd be better
and worse! LOL!

Hmm. I don't know about other people but I wouldn't want to put my
mud-covered jack back into the interior of my van - especially a nice
interior like that one! ;)
YMMV
