Hey! Where'd the mountians go?!?!?
Listened to the video clips.
Probably sounds really cool around the neighborhood, but would probably get old on a long day of wheeling.

Yep, looking for options to quiet it down.

Fixed a pesky steering issue that ultimately was a combination of a bad wheel alignment and improperly installed rear upper and lower links. Thanks to those that helped me on this thread.

Using a combinations of threads to track down and fix a bunch of squeaks.
Started a new thread and eventually dug up an old thread and used it to fix one squeak.
Still hunting more squeaks and will continue on this thread
Here was the offending seat belt squeaker:

Taking out the carpet and third seat hardware to dynamat and install some type of truck bed liner and tailgate mat.
Found a tube that was pinched off, any idea what this is for?

Yep, passenger side
Mine had a residue in it, seems like a drain for something. I didn't see one in the driver side. Drain for the rear AC ducting?

Ordered up a bunch of Second skin Deamplifier Pro and Luxury Liner yesterday and today picked up a 4x8 sheet of black 1/4" thick ABS plastic to create a new floor deck and rear hatch plate for my rig this weekend.

Wow, second skin got my deamplifier pro and luxury line to me today. And with a nice little discount to boot!
Going to install this shortly and see how it helps the exhaust noise that I'm dealing with.

That tubing comes from the rear sunroof drains.

I think I have enough Luxury Liner for two rigs!

Here is the muffler les found for me installed. Significantly quiets down the rig, also chokes horsepower a little but feels like lower end torque is improved.
After reading the following thread for an 80's series I wanted to do the same for mine.
The muffler I used was 3" in and 3" out, I found it on google.
On to sound dampening!

Thanx for the PIC!
How much did it cost to install?
p.s. I see you preferred that your car not smell like roofing asphalt!
What aftermarket set up do you have? And is it obnoxiously loud or do you want it closer to stock?

Second skin Deamplifier Pro going in:
Removing that Ac box to get dampened behind it was a b!tch. Broke two black plastic body panel plugs and finally discovered a bolt under the rig next to the muffler was holding it down. I broke that bolt off as well. Then said screw it, just moved the unit out of the way enough to get some dampen set back behind it.
Starting to put the second skin down. I cut out holes for all the screw holes for the old seats and mounting points in case I want to use those for the bedrug and ABS sheet I bought.
Getting closer!
