Did you glue down the carpet or just lay it down?

Just lay it down, seats , molding , etc will hold it in place

I did this recently with the stuff from stock interiors. Their video says to put it inside the doors though stuck to the outside panel, rather than inside the door cards. I had already removed the vapor barrier to undo the door latches, later replaced with new plastic.
I didn't cover the entire inner door but a pretty good amount in front, lesser amount in back. here's the driver door for an example..
What I like is how the door feels really solid now when you close it. Some from the insulation, probably more of it from the new door gasket, but either way just feels way more solid.
I stuck the rest of the sound dampening around kinda where I thought it could do the most good, could have used double the amount I ordered though but it was kinda expensive. I ordered their "SUV Cargo Area" kit and should have maybe got a bigger package. But in general, I'm fairly happy with how it turned out and the 60 does seem a bit quieter now with the added pad and new carpet.

How much of each did you order? I’m about to do the same in my 60
I think it was about 80 Squarefeet. 60 Sqaurefeet should be plenty if you're just doing the floors.
I just did this in my 60 and two boxes of 36 ft was enough for floor plus doors and back panels.
What floor mats are those?
Awesome job and writeup! Thanks!!!
Ed, did you put the MLV facing the out side door skin or put it towards the inside of the cab? I’m about to this, glad I saw your post. Nice Work!!
Started doing this with 80mil Killmat and it feels thinner than the stock deadener I removed. Will report back when I'm all done.
thoughts on Stock Interior carpet?
In case anyone's looking for it, it's Bituthene lest you receive unexpected package contents

Pretty good my only gripe was there wasn't a new piece for the bottom of the rear seat... you can see more pics on my build thread, here: nakman's 60 build - https://risingsun4x4club.org/xf/threads/nakmans-60-build.30021/page-5#post-355285
