hahaha. Just need some hub adapters.Want to quiet it down, put some Prius tires on it.
That looks like a great product. Thanks for sharing.I've used Lizard Skin for years. Both the sound deadener and thermal coating work great. Its easy to apply and works best with their spray gun. you can role it on but it doesn't get the coverage as the gun does and also doesn't look as nice as when its sprayed. I didn't use it on my truck but have on all my street and off-road trucks. Thermal was used because most of the time my headers are very close to firewalls and with the thermal barrier on its like night and day as for heat transfer into the cab. The only thing with the Lizard Skin is you have to apply it in the correct order if you use both coatings in the same panel. Two thumbs up from me for Lizard Skin. I will install it later on my truck when I swap some interior items around.
Which version of the dynamat are you using?I haven't considered a liner product like line-x on the underside of the cab... but now I'm considering it. The problem is I prefer TOFF over most of the liners and nobody sprays it here in Colorado.
I am using several different kinds of Dynamat. The first layer on the ceiling, doors, and rear quarter panels is Dynamat Xtreme. The Second layer on the ceiling and first on the rear of the cab is to fill the valleys is called Dynaliner it comes in different thicknesses (I'm using 1/2"). The floor will be Dynapad then Dynadeck (this might change). The underside of the cab is hoodliner by Dynamat. After all of these are in along with wiring I will do a 1/4 mdf with felt overlay on the headliner and rear of the cab.Which version of the dynamat are you using?
What is TOFF?
Are you using a DB meter? If so is it an app or a dedicated meter?
I've seen MDF be used for speaker boxes. Why not use a furniture grade plywood? In all applications I have seen it used it was thick like 1/2".After all of these are in along with wiring I will do a 1/4 mdf with felt overlay on the headliner and rear of the cab.
I bought a $99 sprayer at home depot and did it myself. Prep work taping up plastic around the engine and other chassis took longer than spraying 5 coats over 5 days.I'm in the middle of sound deadening right now. I have done the doors, rear quarters and ceiling in Dynamat. I have boxes of the stuff ready to fill out the rest of the cab and the underside of the cab sitting in my garage (not to mention new door gasket material). Even so, with just the first layer I have brought down the interior 10 decibels at idle. I can talk to my girlfriend, without yelling, while sitting in the passenger seat while driving.
The stuff isn't cheap but I'm really seeing the benefit already. Once it's all in I'll put a full write-up, including decibel change from layer to layer, on builtmfg.com

The sprayer will be clogged and won't work by the end of it, but it was easy to do. I was able to use the sprayer on the interior as well. I'd say after 25 uses the sprayer clogged, but allowed me to finish the job first.
It'll be covered by dynamat (or in this case noico high heat barrier) on the underside then a thermal blanket so I wasn't worried about looks.

I'll put in something else, although I am not sure what. I will probably take it to an upholstery or classic car restoration shop for them to bid out finishing the interior. I have some ideas, but I can't imagine I'll have the skillset to complete in a way that looks goodGivinup After applying all that deadening. Are you putting the original carpet/foam back in or something else?
