I’m going to be putting Noico 80mil in the front doors and was just wondering how some of you guys went about doing it. Cut in into bits and patchwork it or what?

I kept the sheets whole where I could and then cut to fit where needed. Just make sure you clean the surface that it’s going on really well. Also are you just doing sound deadening and the closed cell foam? I have done this process to all of my vehicles and I saw the most improvement when I did a tar like sound deadening then closed cell foam on top of that.

I’m just doing the butyl-backed foil stuff right now. I did the DS door yesterday and cut it into as big of sheets as I thought I could get into the door. Not planning on any foam over top. I don’t need it to be absolutely quiet, just enough so I can’t hear the vacuum leak I’m chasing.
Previous threads have discussed reasons to not put foam in the doors. I’m happy with the butyl-only job I did on mine. Check the rubber isolator on your exterior handles while you’re in there!
Seems to me that large seemless pieces are no more effective. It's more satisfying doing it that way though. All it really does is take the "top hat" resonance out so complete coverage isn't necessary.
Good luck on chasing that vacuum leak. I'd love to try a smoke machine to see if I couldn't bring up the mercury a bit.

Get a louder radio?

Or maybe the Boulder solution...get a Tesla!
Booooooooooooooo ... oooooooo
Here’s your solution. No more leaks.
Builds - Electric TLC FJ-40 Build
This is going to be a neat project :rofl: This 1970 FJ-40 is being converted to 100% electric drive. This thread will document the details of the build (also linked to here via ElectricGT). The new power plant will be Twin HPEVS AC-50 electric motors. The twins will be assembled end-to-end...

OH s***. #HEREWEGOHere’s your solution. No more leaks.

. Just need to schedule more layover days
Once graphene batteries hit the market I bet you’ll be able to go cross country and back on a single charge. It’ll happen. It’s just a matter of power storage and there are some mind blowing technologies out there just around the corner.
Unless the big "disposable battery" companies have a serious reckoning, it won't happen. Too much money being made with the current technologies. Years ago I had read about "diamond batteries" made from nuclear powerplant waste that had been processed into diamonds. The experiment was a huge success and they had made a battery with beyond a measurable Ahr rating but a half life instead. Practically a "forever battery".
Yeah it got buried.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread....
The problem with the diamond battery was the astronomical cost as well as the military applications it had. They can grow diamond circuits and imbed other elements such as gold or cadmium and create micro circuts that are something like 6 million times more efficient than silicon. They don’t over heat or break down etc. I was following along with that tech pretty closely when I was selling jewelry at the pawn shop. There was an American company and a Russian company that developed this tech simultaneously and both nations had it under wrap for proprietary and national security reasons. Eternal energy is damn near as powerful as total gravity control.
So yeah throw some 315 mil CCF on top of the 80mil and you’re set. Or not. Guess it depends on collective experience.
Nikola Tesla's idea of world-wide wireless power if instituted would supposedly let's anything tune in to power anywhere without a battery. He was cut short of realizing his goals and nobody has figured out his technology or has supressed it. I love the idea and judging by his accomplishments, might have worked.
Hi - I am about to put some butyl lining in my truck... but while I have the whole beast stripped I am doing a few other things.
Can you elaborate on the rubber isolator on the exterior handles? Tried searching but couldnt find anything obvious on here.
