Re: Sound Proofing/Deadening The Cab?

It's funny because the quieter you make it the more noises you can hear. For instance before I made the exhaust super quiet I had no idea how much noise was coming out of my intake and carb thru my 360 degree open element air filter. Then I changed that up and I noticed my alternator was getting loud. The wind noise is a problem but I double weatherstripping the doors helped. I used the squarebody door pieces for that. (I'll find a link). I also used "mass backed" carpet. It adds weight, but it's nice. I made an insulated removable filler panel to block off the lower cab corners where my bottle jack lives. I blocked evey hole in my firewall. I insulated my hood...one thing just lead to another as the ride kept getting quieter and I kept noticing more stuff. And it was totally worth it in my case.
