Yesterday, I picked some up and decided to do the roof and back interior panels minus the floor board. The noise of the ARB roof rack and drone of the exhaust has not gone away but the noise level went down to a tolerable level. The decision is still out for the insulation benefit inside the truck. I should find out in January when I do the "Camino del Diablo" expedition. I did not do the floor board because there just isn't any space and doing so would look like a pillow underneath it.
It was an easy job with the exception of the headliner. Taking it off was easy and intuitive but gravity is not your friend when you are adjusting the insulation to fit between the roof ribs.
I would recommend Dynamatting ( or some other thin application) the Headliner and Floorboards. The floorboard is where the rest of the drone is coming into the interior.
I didn't take the seat belt off but just moved the panel and seats to the side.
here is the location where Trainman0978 was talking about in where to stuff the insulation:
Here is the Panel and the 14mm bolt to remove the seat back. I just moved it to the side.
Here is confirmation that even though I do not have rear speakers, The wiring is back there underneath the blank.
Anyone know what this connector is for? The GPS or XM option?
Tools needed:
14 mm socket
10 mm socket
Phillips screw driver
Flat blade screw driver
I hope this helps
Cheers,
