When you had that all stripped, did the floor pans seem like something that would be easy to replace in the future if it gets rusty?

i used killmat and then the Siless over that, they serve two different purposes and work best when used together. Dynamat is a great name brand product and killmat is the more "generic" version that's been around for a long time with very similar specs to the name brand. without doing the doors i have used right at 50 sqr feet of each product, the doors should take another 12-15 sqr feet at most.

51 sqr ft of silex is 3.8 lbs, 50 sqr ft of 80 mil killmat is 23 lbs, so about 30lbs total when i am done.

i guess it depends on your level of skill, but yes it looks fairly straightforward. Not being a unibody helps
Just always been curious.
Do yall just take trips in total silence to be bothered with doing this?
Windows up, radio off just looking to be upset at noise is the only reason I could think of doing this.
Very jealous of your patience levels and free time. Kudos to you

I did this to the back half of my folks 06 Focus, under the back seat, under the wheel well trim panels and everything in the trunk, it made a difference. I also added a hood liner. Don't plan on doing my Bronco anytime soon though.
When your 12 hours behind the wheel, noise increases your level of tiredness. You can drive longer in a quieter, more comfortable car.
I had a 1990 Corvette, lowered, with 3" dual exhaust from the full length headers back. It was cramped and would set car alarms off just by driving by.
It was so much fun, but I've never felt so bad after a full day behind the wheel on the interstate.
The targa top also leaked.
Noise greatly increases the fatigue factor on trips. Reducing the ambient noise levels will increase your daily travel limits.

Someone forgot to tell Uncle Sam about that. Every (wheeled) vehicle I've been in has a "Hearing Protection Required" sticker on that dash instead.
Your hearing loss is not service connected.

Looks cool but my 4DR WT HOSS 3.0 soft top is pretty quiet. I've had 3 wranglers with soft tops so I'm used to noise but the Bronco is pretty quiet comparatively speaking.

nope, but i guess we have gotten used to not having to talk over the excessive wind/road noise in our other cars( 85 Bronco, 2014/2022 Raptor. 68 Mustang) on long road trips it gets annoying to us. AS for the free time.... i make time for what's important to me.

I can't imagine how much someone would charge for doing this. Amazing job!

Nice work!
Did you follow any instructions to remove the interior? Or have you done this before?
