| In my best Goldmember voice..."Very nice, very tight". Let me know when you upgrade to the 4", I would like your OME's.
Later,
Jack

| James,
What a sweet setup. Not a spec of dirt on that thing! I wished La Cabra looked have as neat as your truck.
I'm really glad to see you moved up to the 80 series. When you do Walker hill on your rig, I'll let you take Poquita on your lap.
Regards
Alvaro | |

| James, ditto on how immaculate your truck is 
So how about some under the hood shots? You do the dual batteries yet? Oh, and you must be ready for the "hole filler" on that ARB - right? 
Great pics and hope to get out on a trip with you.

| Very nice set-up James! I also did the dynamat (actually it was a product called FatMat) and measured a 5dB decrease.
Lookin' forward to the next outing!

| James,
Great rig, super clean. After seeing the 4runner at SnT 04 I wouldn't expect anything less from you now in an 80...

C- zipper pass thru
D- hot shower, ah!
A small Action Packer fits in the triple can holder, so I plan to use that to hold recovery gear on day runs (quick access). 
Locwrin,
You might have a long wait! I want to really learn this setup and save up $$ for the gears & Slee4 full kit. (I believe the full kit is well thought out and not a "filler" kit for profit)

| Very nice write up. I like the suspense with the first two shots. Well done.

| Nicely Done!
I am curious how the dynamat deadens the sound of the MTRs. How many miles are on the MTRs? Was their a giant difference in interior noise when you sawpped tires or over time with wear? Dynamat sounds like a great product just looking for some commentary from someone running dynamat and MTRs.

When you say 33's do you mean 285s, 305s, 295s, 33x12.50x16 or what? I really like the way they look and was just curious, great lookin rig! | |

| It came w/ 285 BFG AT's that were worn down (see pic on pg1) and it was more quiet w/ new MTR's. But, MTR's get louder as they wear.
The Dynamat and MTR's were put on around the same time so in combo w/ new tires, it's hard to say exactly how much diff. dynamat alone makes... but it is noticable.
285 MTR's are what I have.
I want to also get a winch, dual batts etc... after seeing them in action on more equipped 80's I am sold on the value they add... sigh, mods never end!

| I hear you, and I agree about the gears and lift. Gotta try you know.

| You had an awesome 4runner and now an awesome 80. Always fun to wheel with you James. You've done wonders with a sweet truck. As always, your pics are a work of art!
Loved the pic of Doug and Alvaro's rigs at SnT. I didn't recognize either truck outside of LaCabra license plates.

James - Nice rig, I'll have to see it in person one of these days if I ever make it to another NorCal run! (Having a kid sure takes away your play time!) Bring it to 80Con this Fall!
Jasper - Did you put the Dynamat in the "Ox" or the "Ghost?"

I installed the soundproofing material in the 1997 80 series only. The 100 series is already as quiet as I could ever hope for. It is the 80 that has worn 285 MTRs that contribute to constant low end drone and the custom exhaust. I installed "Dynamat" in the DS door only because I couldn't afford to do anymore. I then found a competetive product called "FatMat" that was a fraction of the cost. I installed it everywhere but the remaining 3 doors. I still haven't finished the doors because I'm lazy.

| After tearing all the stuff out and spending the time to put dynamat or something similar in 80, would you guys do it again?
Do you feel like it was worth it in the end?
Thanks.

| No 
I had the truck torn apart for 2 weeks! My hands were all cut up from rubbing the mat on and hitting sheet metal with my knuckles.
I think it helped a lot initially, but like everything else, you get use to it and only remember the long intensive labor that went into it.

| Hey Jasper do you have a link to order the Fatmat? I have some Dynamat left over but when the time comes, would like a cheaper alternative.
Brandon,
I only did the rear section as pictured and it was very easy to access it all. I would def. do it as it only took a couple hours.
If I had to do anything else (doors,etc), it would be alot of work as Jasper said. I only plan on doing it if it is apart for something else!
