[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 429660, member: 18789"] [B]More Noise Isolation and Heat Insulation[/B] I've continued on my insulation voyage since the last post. I'm still working on laying out the noise insulation to the floor. It takes a while to cut up all the little pieces to fit the tub's dips and curves in the floor. I'm also in no rush so I'm not going fast with it which is also making it take longer. I'm just about done with the floor itself, and I'm stopping at the firewall for now (more later). I'll post final pics of the insulation when it's all done, just before it gets carpet on top. I pulled the trigger on my carpet kit this morning. It is the YJ full kit from [URL='http://stockinteriors.com']Stock Interiors[/URL], and I added the rocker panel option. I am not sure if I will actually install them, it depends on the fastening method. If its spray adhesive, I may opt to skip them. We'll see. For the carpet itself, I chose the plush cut pile (not Ultra plush...UP would be too thick), and I did choose to get the mass backing. The mass backing adds a 40 mil epoxy layer that cuts out lots of extra heat and noise which will be awesome in combination with the Kilmat insulation. The carpet fabric itself will also help with noise and heat. It's finna be quiet in there! (I hope anyways lol). I'm going to pull the heater box for the carpet install so I can lay out the carpet and see how high up it goes. What the carpet will cover will determine how high I go with my Kilmat.
