AND

Paint both sides of where you want it and apply. Use a heat gun to mold around bends...Works great on all surfaces...

NOTE: Once both surfaces touch it CANNOT be taken off.. Do a test fit before applying..

Hydro-Turf® is made from closed-cell EVA Foam....

just ordered a few sheets of turf for my XJ. It works great on the jetskis so i figured why the hell not.

im doing my floors, makes for easy hose-out, sound, vibration and heat deadening.
also doing my shot door panels with it, then eventually the head liner and sun visors.

i ordered swamp camo for the floor, and black for everything else...also got some underpad to go under the floor around the trans tunnel and firewall for extra insulation.

im actually surprised so few people think of using turf, it works great in every other application ive used it in.

I don't see why not. Just may need a little heat to form it around the corners.

Yes, it'll be hotter in the summer, but you'll gain a solid inch of headroom. You'll have the pillars to get around since they're lower than the sheetmetal, but they're not a big deal.

So it won't insulate the heat like the headliner does?

I don't think the heat difference would be much....then again, I make sure my AC works good anyway. Lol
