Looks great. Did you spray or roll/brush?

Thank you. I rolled it on.
Hi, I came across this today, very nice looking truck. It looks to be in very good shape. I also own a 1997 T-100 with 140,000 miles on it. and put 6K into repairs. I like how your truck looks in the white. .Nice job!

I had some tubing left over from a wrecked 80 series ARB so i turned it into a bed bar. The tubing had aux light tabs already attached. I welded it all together and added some loops to be used as attachment points. This should keep my four-wheeler from touching the back window when hauling it around and offers additional mounting points plus rear lights for working out of the bed. Its level with the bed. not sure why it looks crooked in the pic.
10-8-12 Update, It works keeping my four-wheeler off the back glass. There's no contact with the bed lights.

How are you feeling about the liner inside the cab still? Is it loader or hotter inside the cab? Good looking truck!

This is the current project.
I decided to try Raamat for the truck http://www.raamaudio.com/. I used second skin's product when I had the cruiser but decided to go a more inexpensive route for this. The Second skin stuff is better quality and thicker but I actually like Raamat better. Its easier to get into the contours of the floor and I doubt ill be able to tell i went a more affordable route when everything is back together.

Did you put any Rammat over the liner in the cab? Liking your build. I picked up a '95 T a few weeks ago and it's always great to get ideas.

Yes. I ended up covering everything with raamat and their ensolite. Then a layer of scrap rug pad from a local carpet store. The rug pad had a rubber layer on one side and was a lot heavier than regular carpet foam pad.
Anymore pics of install as well As amounts used? Would you recommend the bedliner first or just go with the Rammat type product? I am familiar with how the product work but trying to do so on s budget is hard. Second Skin seems to be awesome but it's $$$.

Raamat is the way to go on a budget.
The monstaliner has no sound deadening quality. I did it mostly so I wouldn't ever have to worry about rust under the carpet. The chassis saver alone would have been sufficient for that.
First order was:
2 packs BXT II RAAMmat
6 yards PS Ensolite
Second order was:
RAAMmat BXT II, 37.5 sq ft
Ensolite IUO Peel and Stick, 14 sq ft
I removed the headliner and did the ceiling with a layer of raamat/reused the factory pad (light weight), then ensolite on it to hold it in place. I covered the interior sheet metal below the back windows with ramaat/ensolite/raamat. i did the rear wall below the back window, entire floor and up the front firewall as much as possible with a layer of raamat/ rug pad/ ensolite. Ensolite was always the last layer because its light and has a very sticky back so it holds everything in place.
Ive still got enough to do the doors.
ensolite over the raamat and rug pad
rug pad is this stuff. pretty dense and heavy. I didn't take many pictures during the install.

Polk Audio DB6501 6.5-Inch 2-Way Component System http://www.amazon.com/Polk-Audio-DB...+Audio+DB6501+6.5-Inch+2-Way+Component+System Perfect fit in the back. I had to modify the existing speaker housings to fit the 6.5's. I mounted the tweeters high in the side panels.

I pulled the factory amp to make room for wiring behind the radio.
I had to remove the glove box to get to the trim screws around the radio opening. After the trim was removed there were two screws holding it in place. Easy job.

The T is looking very nice. I reckon I missed that you had sold the 80. i have some of your pictures saved because it was one of my favorites.
How is the Monsta holding up? I did the bed of my pickup with herculiner a few years ago and I am going to have to do some work on it because it is starting to thin out and has faded considerably.
