    Like my '87 Nissan.
    Manual locks, windows, and steering.
    Power brakes and fuel injection were the only two modern conveniences that truck came with.

    What do you have for tires? If they're stock Dunlops or something else street-like I'd hope my Dynapros stand up to a little more.

    Not picking on it but I don't think MLV or any other product is going to quite down the Jeep much, especially when you're running your soft top.

    I was going to ask that same question. When I had my Dunlops I got flats all the time and I never went wheeling with those tires. I mean you even look at them the wrong way and they went flat. I haven't gotten a single flat with any of the other tires I have run since I changed them out *knock on wood*

    I bought my truck when it was three years old, so they had just replaced the Dunlops with an Autogrip tire that looked like a Toyo A/T2 clone. I replaced those last spring with Dynapro ATMs and have been very happy with them. Never had a flat or even a slow leak on this truck.

    I had those and never had a problem with them. I ran them for 1 1/2 years and took them off and sold them to Alex. I run the Hankook MT's now

    Quite the lineup.
    That G1 looks kinda lonely, though.

    I got the MLV from Trademark Soundproofing, out of NY, online three yrs ago. might be able to find better pricing, I wasn't such a price snob back in my younger days :p

    the thin sticky-back stuff I got from Second Skin Audio, much easier to get inside the doors and harder to reach places...but very pricy

    Go for it, say I :thumbsup:

    Not worried about the noise with the soft top cause I have it down and door off as much as possible. More of a winter issue with hard top on
