Whatever this is... it comes off on the paint and NOT on the windows...
Hood looked like this yesterday. Actually worse, cause I ran it through the washer today and yesterday.

 
oh yeah... bought new mirrors. broke the driver side trying to take off the little mirror, and the passenger was broken anyway... black was cheaper, and kinda matched.
 
Torn between colors.
Going to fill in the bottom half. Was going to go back to brown like Catty:





Which would be Durabak all the way around.

I also like the idea of an OD Green in Durabak...

But now that the mirrors are also black... and the grill will be getting de-chromed.... thought maybe just do black. I'd have the black done with Line-X since I love how thick it gets sprayed on. Love the Tundra bed having it. It's thick. Not fond of the uPol on the sides of the tundra, when it gets dented it flakes...

Thoughts?
 
OD green would be sick!

You should have the old housings if you don't like the repaired headlamps with quick release zip ties haha.

I thought the same thing... but they were actually trashed. amazing how dry the plastic was. The new ones, are also aftermarket, so they aren't exactly interchangeable. I was thinking the front plates be tan on the mirrors, but it wouldn't have worked...
 
Things that make you go LOL


 
Did the "Dynamat Alternative", Tite Seal. Used probably 2/3rds of a 9"x50' roll on the front-seats only including the trans hump and under the center console. The hump I did prolly three layers of it.
Pulled the seats and center console out and did under them and the shifter-plate. Covered the enormous hole at the shifters pretty good, and then put it on the underside of the plate.
Made a HUGE... ENORMOUS difference. But it's still loud as crap. LOL. I think the H55 would quiet the interstate down some since it's doing 3000rpms at 65mph, killing the gas and drowning the noise out.

I've got a whole nother roll if someone wants it.

I had boo-koo foam years ago. We would throw truck loads of it away, and I took some home nad filled the rear quarter panels of Cattywampus with it. I was amazed at how it deadened the noise. May throw a layer or two of this stuff in there one day... one day...
 
I am so dumb. Fer real.

I forgot that the Hunnerd series pads have to be ground down in the back-side where the squeal limiter is, to fit in 91-92 rotor/caliper. No wonder they wouldn't fit... DUH....

So hopefully I'll get to that in the next two days.
 
I was reading about the sound dampeners the other day and it seems like the current thinking is to use the peal and seal type stuff to change the frequency of the noise, and then some type of mass loaded vinyl to block the noise. I have some duct insulation, it is a stick on foam with an aluminum face on it. I bet something like that would help. You probably pulled some of it out when you were installing the flashing.
 
I'm of the thinking that it's reverbing off the metal body and causing the entire hollow body to "tone". So... Spraying something on the bottom of the floor, would kill any noise I do believe. Trying to fight it within the cab is like fixing a leak with a bucket.
 
The panel vibrates and amplifies the noise, like a speaker. When you add mass to the panel it changes the frequency and muffles it a little. If you add foam you actually insulate the interior from the sound transferred by the panel.

It seems to me that the undercoating would help keep the panel from transmitting as much noise too, but it should work like the stick on stuff. Undercoating ouside + flashing inside + thick carpet pad + carpet + resonator should make it as quiet as you could get it I would think.

I have been thinking about trying out some of that lizard skin spray on lining in something. The DS floorboard could really use some kind of thermal barrier. Those cats really warm up my footsies on long trips.
 
them cats warmin up them dawgs?
 
Even with the stick having a detent in it, it still pops out under load.
How I keep the xfer in 4WD...
