sound proofing a prerunner

[charlie_brown]

i am afraid to squirt some of that expandable foam on my truck any where because it has a low flash burn and stinks to high heaven (clears out my garage). i notice that there is different types, is they any deferent’s. it does work good though. i order another 2 gal bucket of the lizard skin and this time i am going to spray the cage from the window down (just the sheet metal is sprayed now). I am also going to drill a hole into at about 2” from the frame and spray it inside the cage. I also just change out the gear oil to the redline shock synthetic that’s says on there that it will help reduce the noise.

i asked an experienced fab guy about this and he told me that burning expandable foam makes fosgene(sp?) or mustard gas...........deadly! careful where you put that stuff. maybe some one else can shed some light on this subject.

Dynomat the cab.

agreed, probably your best bet.... if you haven't already, invest in a intercom. its nice to be at speed and not have to scream at each other. we also did the line-x deal, worked out well.

where wood be a good place to get an intercom that will work with a 2 way, mp3 and a radio as well as talking? would it be beter to wait untill one of the shows to get one?
thanks

UUHHHHH, PCI? Racer X? Both of there pre-runner units will do all that.

I have used the dynamat, I got it at summit, it was the heaviest stuff they make. Hummer also sells a sound deadning spray on paint that they use on the interiors of the 2006 hummers, It also works well. The dynamat is expensive but it works well, but not as good as a helmet and intercom.

Helmet and intercom are great, just don't use it on the road. I know that there are single sided head sets, I wonder if any one has removeable sides to use on the street then clip it back on for the dirt.

DYNOMAT.DYNOMAT.DYNOMAT.I installed the heaviest one in my ranger on every flat surface i could find then took the truck to the upholstry shop and had headliner made and carpet install. works great. my wife will now ride in my truck with me.only draw backs are its hard to clean when you get back from baja.

How much did the headliner and carpet set you back?

1497 try Stich by Stitch in Mentone. I think Woody knows the owner too. I don't know how to spell his name but it's pronounced yawn.
