    Finally cut off my exhaust so that it isn't rattling around on my leaf springs. Easiest thing ever and took 2 minutes. Not sure why I didn't do it a long time ago.

    Just the doors so far. I might do the wall behind the seat next. It definitely helps with sound quality and road noise.

    I did speakers at the same time. Yes it's a huge difference. Hard to attribute the difference to deadening vs speakers. Part of me wishes that I had done it in two steps so that I could tell but I'm also glad I only had to mess with all of those plastic clips once!
    Deadening material was ~$60 on Amazon for a kit for two doors. I had more than enough Dynamat

    Loving this little truck! Perfect build! I used to have a 93 regular cab. I miss how nimble that thing was!

    Bushwick. There's an area of a few blocks with great graffiti. But nothing as good as what 5 pointz used to be.

    I've been going back and forth on which tube bumper I wanted for a while. The AP, TG, or addicted. Created a poll in my build this morning. Happened to see your build. Immediately closed the poll and ordered the AP.

    Suuubbbddd!

    I did. That was the gravy on the biscuit. Ha ha. For once, my timing was impeccable.

    Haha. Glad I could help. I like how the AP has the little skid rather than the TG's hitch receiver. Good choice! Can't wait to see it on your truck.
