DirtyComanche Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Anybody thrown it on the floor/firewall/etc instead of the carpet/foam? Quiter? Louder? Didn't notice? I pulled the carpet out of this cher-o-pile today and don't really feel like putting it back in. I've got some bedliner, thinking of throwing it on the floor and up to the firewall instead... I don't want this thing to be any noisier than can be expected. I'm also torn on giving up the carpet as it probably helps keep the cold out in the winter. Thoughts?

jackel18 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 i did a rattle can liner on the floor of my MJ, put the carpet back in without the padding. lot louder and cab gets a lot warmer around trans hump. -Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WahooSteeler Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I think you could get some sound proofing by lining the cab floor and firewall, but I think you'd have to go the spray in route to ensure you got adequate thickness. You might be able to do 2-3 applications of roll-on and get some decent thickness, enough to provide a noticeable drop in road noise IMO. If you look on the spray on brands website's, I believe on of them has a product that is formulated for that purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonedef131 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I did the POR-15 and then bedliner over that on my floor. I didn't notice it being much louder but it does get a bit warmer around the transmission tunnel. I removed my headliner and that did make it quite a bit noisier, but then I used the rubberized underbody coating with sound deadener on the ceiling and I think it is quieter than it was with the headliner in.

DirtyComanche Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 I've got pretty conflicting answers for this one so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddzz1 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 A little off the topic but I read where a few people used a product called ice king. You can get it at Home Depot and places. It is supposed to help with noise and keeping the heat/cold in/out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 What is it? I couldn't find it... I'm thinking it's a deck coating? Which is basically what some bedliners are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Whatever you do, don't use roofing tar. No matter how convenient it would be to use some from the half-can in the garage. Man what a mess that was. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORCA Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Is the duct insulation sticky on one side? That would make the install real easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still used the window flashing 1/2 asphalt 1/2 rubber stuff.. just on the roof though, here's another crazy idea I heard.. :brows: Take a 1/2 gallon of latex paint and mix in a 1/2 gal of sand and then paint it on ...

jtdesigns Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 :nuts: Latex would peel right off though? I think it would especially if it was 50:50 mixed with sand!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WahooSteeler Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Well, obviously I assume the sand was to be the "traction" component like in the name brand liners, but all that would do on that concoction IMO is give enough traction to make it peel off faster LOL!!

jtdesigns Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 The way I understood it to do was add mass to the already thick latex. Not for traction but paint it inside your doors,floors, firewall, and other places where the Dynamat type of sound deadeners don't fit to well or where you can't get to them.

Darren Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 i used window flashing to quiet up my daily driver ( i used protecto seal from home depot but peel and stick by mfm building products is more common) and it worked great. I pulled all the interior panels and carpet and stuck it to the floor and laid some jute from the fabric store over it and it brought the noise down quite a bit. I would definitly recommend it to you if you want to bring the noise down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 I read up on sond deadening materials... But I don't want to go that route for the floor. I think I'll just throw some liner on it and see how it goes. I'll stuff the XJ's carpet into the cab of the MJ for now, and take it to the dump if I find the noise level acceptable. Or I'll just throw it out and get a new one later. Although, I do have to admit, this XJ did have nice carpet except for all the broken glass. Of course, I need to make/steal a new hedliner and a bunch of interior peices before I could really say anything for sure. It's a little lacking right now.
