Surf N Turf 2019

We'll be heading down from SF after work on Friday. We may sleep in a hotel rather than roll into camp at night. Let me know if anyone wants to caravan.

I went this route: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/sound-deadener-install-w-pics-in-a-diesel-wow.325893/ The foam makes a big difference. Stinks for a few months, but after that it's fine.

Ouch. Good thing you had a hose nearby. Nice excuse for a new headliner?

I have BMW e46 seats in mine and they are really comfortable, much better than stock. $250 for the pair off craigslist and the tan leather fits well with the brown 60 interior. I prefer the non-powered ones just for ease of install and less things to break.

Fat Mat in and then topped with 3/4" McMaster sound deadening foam. Got the @dnp carpet mostly installed but no pics yet. Will post some up tomorrow after the seats go back in. I definitely messed up the shifter holes on the carpet. With no old carpet to help template out what goes where it...

With the bed liner all out I got to the fatmat and rust repair. After a ton of research and lack of a welder I decided to follow @NeverGiveUpYota and use seam sealer. Got some steel rivets and I slathered the seam sealer on really thick both top and bottom to make sure any gaps I had were...

Finally got all this crap out. In the end the easiest thing to do was cut out the entire piece of bedliner around the perimeter with my dremel. This took a ton of work though and some nasty fumes.

Got stuck in the Sierra. Even the snow that piles up on a 60 isn't aerodynamic.

Got some help from @joebattle1 and got to it this morning. Very slow going. I think we tried every tool in his garage. We made some progress but I wanted to try a huge dry ice slurpy like @CaptClose recommended. Got 10 lbs of dry ice and 2 bottles of isopropyl. I think that just made the...

What do you mean channels? Is that a part that sits under the carpet?

Ok, I ordered up some new dnp carpet, fatmat, and foam and decided to start prepping. Found some rust, which was expected. But I didn't realize the bedliner the PO installed would be such a PITA to get out. It also looks like it's started to cause some rust in other places I wasn't expecting...

Technically this was on a Monday, but the first time I've had her out in a while

Looks like @FJ40Jim was right. There are two saloon doors and it looks like the one in the rear is not shutting properly. So, that means the ram air from outside is constantly being pulled into the system. The cable moves just fine. You can't see the rear door in that picture but it's...
