Sound proofing with roofing materials

Soundproofing works great. Especially in the doors. Never noticed an asphalt smell. Temped the floor at 130, peel n seal didn't goo out or fall off.
Didn't help at all with the heat though, so I had to insulate.



$8 did the whole floor board plus the back of the truck.



Now it's even quieter and there is no uncomfortable heat rising on those scorching Cali afternoons on the highway in construction traffic.

Man, I am really torn between doing this and just rippin' out the carpet and bed-liner-in' the whole enchilada.

Somebody tell me what to do as I am incapable of making decisions. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

my 4runner came to me with the interior stripped out and the entire floor/sides bedlined. if you want to know what it's like, crawl into a 60 gallon drum and have your wife/SO beat on the outside of the drum with a ball-peen hammer. I've since put a proper interior back into the truck and it's better

You must be my long lost brother... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Strip the interior, throw down some good sound proofing, put in some new carpet w/ juit from www.accmats.com... You'll have a very nice, brand new interior when complete! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

wait so that carpet-padding looking stuff is insulation?
do you have a layer of peel-n-seal and then further insulation on top of that?

so where did you get this insulation?
did you put your carpet back in over the top of it?

I went down to bare(painted) metal stripping all the old stuff out ( it was rotten and cat peed) use acetone to clean it up, laid down peel n seal ( later determined that toyota already has a lyer of soundproofing on the floor boards but not the hump and under the seat) then went over the top with automotive padding. I got it at a local price is right floor center. They had three different kinds. This one was the medium thickness but had a really dense layer on one side I laid out facing the floor side to defeat the heat from coming through. THEN I laid the stock carpeting over the top a nd reinstalled the center cousel pieces that hold it in place. I need to figure out someting for the dorr frame side because of all the stereo wires and the thicker padding are just kind of out there and the old plastic holders wont fit anymore.

It's really a nice "soft" quiet in the cab now plus there is no more uncomfortable heat rising <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
