Insulation

[Schreiber]

Thoughts on cheap and easy floor board insulation for under the carpet? The kit from Tom's Bronco is precut, which looks really easy. Is there anything out there that's better at or below the $150 price tag?

lowes and home depot sell a foil backed insulation that is basically bubble wrap with a foil backing. That might help you out.

Dynamat helps with Sound, Vibration, and a Lil Heat... Jute Padding is for comfort

I used a product call ez cool, haven't tested it yet as the project is not finished, but its a bubble with foil on both sides,a lot denser than what you get a lowe's. come' in 4x10 foot rolls, 2 rolls was enought to do the top, an all of the floor from the raise up at the seats to the tail gate plus the fenders an rear quarters. I used the stuff from lowe's in the doors just double it in the doors that made a difference in the sound when the door's are closed. vinson

I used E-Dead on the metal surfaces and Jute padding (I think the brans was ThermTec, made from recycled plastic bottles) Total cost was around $100 for both. Noise reduction was impressive. I'm sure some more expensive materials would have made it even better, but I'm happy.

I used the Tom's kit. It's great until it gets wet, it takes forever to dry, and if you use it under vinyl it will never dry out. I removed all of it, except the the trans tunnel, it was molding an starting to smell.
