    Fighting the noise

    i did peel and stick on the floor and back wall and door pillars in my dually along with 2 layers of the bubble type insulation on the floor. it made a difference. im hoping when i get to repainting the roof the bedliner on there will quiet it down a bit more.

    hands down the best mod ive done to my dually...i can lock up all 6 on demand now. guaranteed to make the person in front of me poo in their pantaloons when they see an 8,000lb truck howling because they decided to cut me off in traffic

    IDI Bronco Project

    ive been thinking about doing the same thing for a daily driver to replace the grand cherokee im driving when the time comes. but my thoughts were to remove the cradle...completely build a new tubular one and put a SFA out of a 78-79 bronco/F150 under it.

    head cylinder rebuild questions
