Don't forget the foam bar rod you can get at home depot also. It's a 3/8th inch foam tubing that you slide into the weather stripping that goes around the door. There is a hollow part of the weather striping that you use fish tape and pull it through...it also will block sound coming in.

great job man. Looks like you did it for a decent price too. I'm just about to wrap mine up. I still have to do the roof and build me some speaker baffles for the doors.

Here is my thread if anyone else wants to check it out.

I was looking at doing the door seal mod with surgical tubing, but that stuff tends to be expensive. Do you happen know what section of Home Depot it's located in and how much is it by the foot?

It is so cheap I went over kill and did 3 layers. I did the floor all doors all body panels and the roof. All for less then 300$.
Home Depot - Instant Waterproof Repair and Re-Roofing Material customer reviews - product reviews - read top consumer ratings






Those door panels look great!! I would love to do something like this with mine. any advice on how to go about doing them?

I just got 50 feet here for $40. Is 50 feet enough to do a crewcab?

I am still at a stand still on this waiting on my new re-covers to come in should be here by Friday. I am working on the new console now modifying it to fit and wiring a power inverter into it so it will be hidden and have some what of a factory look to it. I will get some pic's of it up soon.

Well what turned out to be just a clean up and to lower the noise level turned into a total rebuild. I finished up this evening and the results where awesome!! I took it out on a little drive and my wife was highly impressed!! So it has passed the test! The noise level had to had been cut in half I can clearly hear my kids talk in the back now and the radio is a 100% better. I can't wait to get it out on the next trip for a real test I think doing this is as important as adding a programmer and it looks a ton better!

Man O Man the PMS list just keeps growing. Looks like a new Truck.

Ok now ya gotta share where the sweet console came from. Think you mentioned it was aftermarket.

I have the huge center console compartment in mine without the 2 extra cupholders.

Nice job and great Look!

I just got Stinky settled in. I imagine that sounds great, and it looks fantastic... but I'm still licking my war wounds.

Stumbled across this thread and read thru it. What would be wrong with simply using carpet padding and gluing it down? That would be extremely inexpensive route to go even if you bought top quality padding.

To those that want to use the peel and seal mentioned from home depot, find a roofer and they may even give you enough to do it or go to a roofing supply store and you can by a roll and triple layer it down and probably do another truck or two for about $100.

The console came out of a 09 F150 but I think they started putting that style in 08 to present yes it has a huge compartment and has 4 cup holders.
