Interior

Has anyone considered obtaining a lariat interior for an XLT from the scrap yard? I am considering doing this and upgrading my interior in the process. Truck is an 01 with 220k on the odometer. Just want to freshen up the daily driver. Might also consider doing dynamat at the same time and maybe quiet the inside down a little.

If you do it, do not forget to post pics!

David,

I have a connection with a local scrap yard. With that connection, I might be able to get the Lariat interior: Seats, Carpet, and Door Panels for between $800 and $1000. Then the Dynamat, that is were the serious money may have to come into play.

Not really sold on the dynamat. A friend did it on his truck a few years ago, along with a fresh undercoat, and said while there was a difference it did not seem worth it.

Keeps us posted.
