[QUOTE="Dan_Goodwin, post: 1574680, member: 4960"] I've neglected updating this thread and am working on updates as there have been quite a few. Enter the last weekend in August and t-minus 4 weeks to get the Jeep road trip (and mild wheeling) ready. I originally installed [URL='https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012B5EMGO/?tag=hardlinecrawlers-20']Noico 80mil[/URL] sound and heat deadening mats and the product worked well, but with this TJ being a daily driver I wanted to add another layer of heat and sound insulation to the tub to really get it closer to Cadillac status. I went on Amazon and looked for the cheapest and thickest insulation I could find and landed on this [URL='https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BNBTD2NZ/?tag=hardlinecrawlers-20']AggSound 157mil Sound Deadner[/URL]. 1 roll did 98% of the area from the dash to the back of the seats and made a huge difference on the floor temperature and some noticeable sound difference. Yes, this will be a nightmare if I ever get water or mud inside the tub, but we'll cross that bridge when I get there.
