Check out the install so far. I spent 6 hours working on the door panels and the door inner sheetmetal. I used a product called "second skin damplifier pro". Spent 324$ on 80 sq feet of the stuff.

This easily doubled the weight of the door panels. They feel so solid now. I cut the foam with scissors so I could reach nearly every bit of naked plastic. I used duct over the foam where I cut it to keep it on one place.

Here is how we started...


This is how we finished...


I also did the drivers side door sheetmetal but it was too cold to do the passengers side, hard to install this stuff outside when my fingers are freezing. I still have some more work to do tomorrow on it. The goal is to have the doors completely done by Monday night.

 

cool, I wanna do this to my 07, I'd like to have a more solid feel, I'd go ahead and do the floor b/c I heard it eliminates a lot of road noise...

 

Go spend 324$ on second skin like I did. I expect on purchasing another 324$ worth though. Its 80 sq ft for 324$ shipped. I should have bought the 160 sq ft for 550$ but I was trying to see how far 80 sq ft will get me. I'm doing the entire truck with this stuff.

 

hehe, I got other ideas, I can ask a buddy of mine for some of this stuff...just to see, I've used dynamat before...

 

I did my floor in September, I have waited until today to finish. I took a coworker to pick up his car (he was having it detailed) and I was told by him. "You know your truck is really quiet for a ranger" - I presume it will be MUCH quieter as soon as I have the doors and everything else in the cab to match the floor.

PS: I like the WRC avatar much more. Since I drive an Evo, I'm down with WRC.

 

Dude...my stock door panels didn't even have that crappy foam crap! My stock '01's had NOTHNG!.....my '03 door panels had that crappy foam crap.

 

Ohh heck, maybe later this summer after I get my superlift, adn after i get my new tires, and after i get my cb and my truckbox and all my led lighting.. maybe then I will spruce up the interior and sound deaden it

 

my 93 had that nasty carpet like padding... I've been afraid to open up the new doors, seems like they love to rattle after...

 

thanks, I'm into Subies & Evos, I'd take either one...lol

 

I bet that thing will sound goooood

 

If you get a rattle, you either put something back wrong or broke something taking it apart.
