TJ: Skwakes 97 Wrangler (rescue) and build up

[skwake]

Ebay mate. $180 for a bulk pack of 9 sheets which was enough to thoroughly do the front and rear footwells, tunnel and firewall, rear wheel wells and enough to put a whole sheet on the rear tray area and the doors. Basically 1 and a bit sheets shy of the complete car. But they reccommend that 30% of any panel be covered to notice improvement so I well and truly got that done. I would reccommend doing it. It is night and day difference, especially after you include the headliner and extra floor underlay i put between the dynamat and carpet. Probably put an extra 30kg into the weight of the vehicle but well worth it. Can have a conversation without shouting now haha

Yea thanks I have found some on there, just have to decide between brands now. what was the extra underlay you put in? Im only looking at doing this to make mum a bit more likely to go the the Jeep Safari

well first of all I painted the whole inside out with a tin of body deadening paint from supercheapauto. but you could probably skip that step. Go for the dynamat mate, it is the best. I bought a roll of laminate flooring underlay from bunnings, basically a felt/foam type carpet with plastic on one side of it. I just cut it to the same sort of shapes as the carpet and sat the carpet over it. Just a bit more insulation from road noise if anything. $40 or something.

Do you have any measurements for the headliner?

[skwake]

No measurements, as i said i just laid the foam down onto the softtop i had on the floor then cut it to size. But I can take some of the end result if you want

[Mudnguts]

That would be much appreciated. Got my queen size underlay from crazy clarks $25
