Yea we was talking about doing that not sure what to get though or how much I need.

Three boxes of Stinger Roadkill at 36 Sq Feet each will take care of the roof, floor, doors, and hatch. Use scraps for the rear fender wells or a sheet or two from a fourth box. I'm going to use the leftovers from my fourth box to do the hood.

Fatmat is a lot of cheaper and people seem pretty happy with it. If I could have obtained a sample of it, I might have bought it instead of the Stinger. The Stinger product is excellent though.

Also, it took me 20 hours or so to do the install. I could have saved some time by not putting aluminum tape over the exposed edges or stuffing this crap into the insides of the doors. Basically, the detail work added a lot of time.

Yea they are great I like them a lot! I cant wait to start putting everything on over the weekend going to start Saturday around 12

Now I think I will focus on getting the jeep nicer while my axles get put together, I ordered my chromoly shafts today but I still need new hubs, brakes, alloy axle tube seals, and my steering.
