Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
I finished sound deadening the floor and the back of the cab this weekend as well as insulating it. I was really happy with how the Home Depot duct insulation worked out. I sprayed the floor and the back of the insulation with 3M super 77 and sealed all of the seams with aluminum tape.
[IMG] ![]() [IMG] ![]() After the insulation I started covering everything with some heavy felt I had in the shop. I ran out of spray adhesive so I didn't get it completely done, but couldn't resist throwing a seat in there for the first time in a year. [IMG] ![]()

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
Looking good! Do you have an approximation of how much of the sound deadener you used?

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
I used 4 rolls on the floor and back of cab, so 50 sq/ft. I will need at least two more to do the doors and some of the roof. I don't think I am going to 100% cover the roof. The 100 sq/ft you had mentioned before should be about right and would allow for a little more coverage on the roof.

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
Looking good! I used 100 sf on mine and it did the whole floor, parts of all the door skins and about 2/3 of the roof.

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
For the first time since I owned this truck, it has seats and seat belts. It is starting to come along.
[IMG] ![]() I also finished painting up some new inner fenders. Krylon satin black for under the hood and duplicolor bed armor for the tire side. [IMG] ![]() Finally, a local guy posted a set of hardly used headlight bezels for $20. Obviously I had to bring them home. [IMG] ![]()

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
That tan felt was bugging me and since I am not buying carpet right away I had to do something. I had some Duplicolor vinyl and fabric paint so I shot some on it. I like it much better now.

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
I cleaned up my threshold pieces and sprayed some more satin black Krylon on them. The old door seals are going to have to do for now so they got installed as well. I also spent a couple hours cleaning up and painting my battery tray. At least all of the oil coating it kept it from rusting.
[IMG] ![]() [IMG] ![]() I checked my local salvage yard for a better grill and came up empty, imagine that, so I decided to learn how to plastic weld. My grill was pretty busted up and was only being held in place with one screw. The top rail was in three pieces and both bottom outer tabs were broken off and gone. Surprisingly it worked out really well. I managed to completely repair the top rail. I had to re attach every vertical piece as well. I cut up my old headlight bezels for filler material and completely rebuilt the lower tabs. [IMG] ![]() It might not be pretty, but it gets the job done.

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
Either I really enjoy building stuff or I'm cheap. Either way I have taken pieces form a couple of discarded exhaust systems with a few new pieces and built a complete dual exhaust system. I made a cross over pipe from the passengers side so they both run down the drivers side. I still have a couple mounts to add, but am pretty pleased with how it came out. Don't mine the shiny tips. They will clean up some at least.
[IMG] ![]() The mufflers are cherry bomb turbos, so I had to paint them red. [IMG] ![]() Now I just need to fire it up and see how it sounds.

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
Not much to update...too much other stuff going on. I did manage to get the front end mostly put back together and was happy that my heavy hood stays up all by itself.
[IMG] ![]() I also buttoned up my exhaust...for now. [IMG] ![]() I sprayed some satin black inside the tips and worked on the outside for about 3 minutes with scotchbrite. It looks good enough for right now. I was a little disappointed when I got the truck fire up. Those Cherry Bomb turbos are much quieter than I hoped. I don't want it to be obnoxious, but a little rumble would be nice. I will address that later...remember, it just has to function right now. The other issue I encountered when firing it up is my facet fuel pump is having a hard time getting the fuel to the carb. I had it running by manually filling the bowl. I have not spent much time trouble shooting that yet. I am going to remove the line from the carb and check that filter and run the pump with it disconnected for a bit so I know I have a good prime. The truck was supposed to be on the road by now, so it is crunch time. With any luck it will be ready this weekend. It needs to drag the Jeep toe the Bantam Jeep Festival on June 7th and I really need some driving time before then to identify any issues.

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
coming along nicely! I used that vinyl and fabric paint for my door carpets and such and while it took a lot of it to officially 'dye' it, it came out great and is still soft like carpet should be.

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
Well...another weekend gone and nothing to show for it. I spent the weekend keeping the wife happy since it was mothers day. Enough of that, I have a truck to finish.

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
Well, it runs. It revs great, idles great, recovers from revs just fine, but it smokes quite a bit. It will hopefully get better as I run it. It has sat for 12 years after all. Can anyone make me feel better because they had similar experience with a motor that sat for an extended period? There is no coolant in the oil.
Lets see if my video works.

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
I can't say I've had that specific issue, but if there isn't an obvious mechanical clatter I'd go run the wee out of it. Valve guide seals, rings or ??? PCV working properly? Congrats on getting her running!

I wouldn't worry about it until you've run it on the road for a while. Sounds good though!
