From my Very Limited Land Rover experience, I have to agree that any noise reduction is good. I have only driven mine about 6 miles but I was surprised how completely "truck-like" it is. I'm not saying that's bad or inexcusable, it IS a truck. But Ill take any sound deadener I can get.
Have an appointment to get my headliner replaced a week from tomorrow. I'm so excited!! Isn't that pitiful? Getting excited over a new headliner? Happy Birthday to me!
That engine bay is gorgeous Jay! What spark plug wires and boots are those?
those are the kingsborne 8mm wires and matching boots. I know some people say it's snake oil but you can tell they are doing their job of keeping the heat off the plug wires and boot ends. Money well spent in my book. Got everything powdercoated I needed in there now it's on the the roof to do the line ex option and then start to lift it and get it off road ready. My wife calls it my wife on the side as much time as I spend on it but it's a love I enjoy
I painted mine (the fabric) and hate it!!!! I still have it down and it's loud as hell!!! Gonna order new fabric and Dow it or break down and pay somebody. Don't know yet.
Been a long time since I posted or did any major or minor work to the disco been dumping my money into my other habit (Harley) but ole girl needed some well deserved TLC. So I did a couple things over the weekend, I repainted the fender flares and rocker panels with Bed Liner paint, added the hood blackout decal with a little bit of "Freedom" on it, replaced the rear cracked bumper up and replaced the ABS modulator. And now we have no 3....."shhh" she will hear me!
Getting is taped off
All wrapped up
Whatelse is there to do when watching paint dry...other than drink some cold beer
Taking the old hood graphic off<br/>
All prepped and ready to apply the Hood blackout wrap

Reason: adding pictures
Put a d1 cdl shifter in my 2000 d2. What a pia!!!!! Got it all done and got the hook up from abran on a slabs unit. My better half wasn't happy with the time consuming process but for $19, I can't bitch and I even pick up a new instrument cluster cover and it was on like $20 at the pull a part.
It's definitely not as plug-and-play as some would have you beleive. Not a physically demanding task, just a lot of "fit, adjust, install, fit, adjust, install". Especially on the CDL nipple end of the linkage.
