quest for silence

after shouting at my wife in our crewcab for years, i finally decided to see if i could make it more livable. a big part of the problem- headers with 3" pipes & flowmasters, 38.5 swamps, & custom deluxe trim, a piece of jute & rubber floormat & nothing else.

Attachment 1037387 Attachment 1037390 now the real big part of noise reduction- mass loaded vinyl, & yes it's heavy, just over a pound per sq. ft & i have 100sqf. i also glued it down & taped the seams. this stuff is heavy, but suprisingly flexible [ATTACH]Attachment 1037392[/ATTACH] |

what i thought would be the easiest part turned into the hardest. because we use our crew to haul our camper & quads, carpet was out of the question, so i picked up a new vinyl mat from ACC. it's 2 1/2 times as thick as the stock rubber, awesome quality, but laying it down in the winter (even with a propane shop heater) is a chore it's so stiff. i spent a week with a commercial heat gun getting it to lay reasonably flat.
Attachment 1037405 Attachment 1037409 time to put the interior back together. it is green & tan, but i'm going to go tan & black as i can afford it.seats going back in Attachment 1037413 Attachment 1037414 Attachment 1037415 |
Re: quest for silence
Looks great, I'm curious about the results. Where did you get the closed cell foam and mass loaded vinyl?

a couple of posts back i screwed up. i meant to say i want to change my interior to GREEN & black, not tan & black. that being said, i tried my hand at painting plastic for the first time. my console used to be tan, now it's
Attachment 1037453 Attachment 1037454 Attachment 1037455 in my never ending quest for quietness, i lined the cup holders & inside with rubber to keep our pop & keys & stuff from rattling.also for the sake of quiet, i put a cig. lighter outlet in it so the kid can plug his video games in (works better then duct tape!). if i can scrape up some money for armrests, i think i'll paint the door panels to |
Re: quest for silence
What seats are those in the rear? That's exactly what I've been looking for. And custom brakets or are they stock from something? Thanks!

Don't sweat it. There is another guy in this very forum with King Ranch seats in his truck, can't remember who. They look great though.

Re: quest for silence
You guys just made my day... My kids are just about big enough to get out of their booster seats and I've been plotting on how I'd make myself some rear headrests to protect them in the event I got hit in the back. That seat is perfect. Thanks and keep up the great looking work!

Nice job! I sound deadened my Silverado SS with MLV on the floors too, but the biggest improvements by far came from doing the cab's back wall and roof with the Dynamat. Before I learned about MLV I used lead sheet that's usually used to line hospital walls in their x-ray rooms. Same idea as MLV, maybe just a bit heavier, but quite a bit harder to get to lay flat.
