ClusterTruck; because that’s what it is

I wanted to add some heat shield on the cab to work with the heat shield treatment on the frame. Mainly for the lower header and collector area where the other shield wasn’t covering.
I got the DEI floor and tunnel shield. It sticks to the exterior of the surface you’re working with. I did the toe kick of the firewall first, then to the sides of the tunnel hump area under the floor (no pic, sorry). I also lined the floor hump.
I could have run it up the firewall further, but I don’t love how I thought it would look so I stopped at the bodyline.
It’s pretty easy to work with, but you definitely want to make a template before you cut it. Once it’s stuck, you’re not moving it without destroying it. I used cardboard like what cereal boxes are made from for my templates. It’s flexible enough to give an idea how it will go over uneven or curved surfaces.

Time for a trip. Having a winch is a good thing. Having a sloped driveway however isn’t. I used some big wood scraps under the trailer jack to get it level so I didn’t have to worry about gravity.

We used a lift to put the cab back on the frame. I didn’t want to risk any damage by using my engine hoist lift because the doors were already fitted and I didn’t want to take them back off to lift it on the pinch weld.
It was uneventful, which is a good thing. Lift cab, move frame, install mounts/bolts, load back up.
It sure does look good now. That 516 really pops in the sunlight.

For unloading, the Jeep earned its keep again. I backed it into the garage and left the trailer sloped. Worked like a charm, which is good because a quick rain shower was coming thru.
Here she is, back home.
