Got a lot of work left to do. Before putting the carpet back on to-be-repaired spots I wire wheeled and primed then slapped down some rubber mat... there's now rubber in the cargo area and under every passenger's feet (driver's too). I think it's actually quieter now lol. Quite the change from being able to hear valve train noise all the time

lol yup looks familiar. Rear floor is okayish in mine, at least from the top, looks like the rear quarter panels are rusted out under the bumper caps (surprise surprise)

Haha some people after hearing about my problems and the work I've put into it (which is nothing compared to a lot of folks here) just say "Why don't you get a new Jeep with no rust?". After berating whatever the **** Chrysler thinks the WK2 is supposed to be I tell them about the JK's problems lol... bad trans after 6000km, radiator blowing up, Chrysler wiring problems, cat dies after 4 years, rust after 3... junk!

Also can the "ban-me-now" retards who keep bringing up illegal catalytic converter removal keep their **** out of this thread? You already trolled another one for like two pages last week or so.
Now I was doing some reading on how to make it quieter on the inside. (I know it will never be silent) were the rubber mats you out down sound deadening mats that you put down under the carpet? Or are you just referring to the all weather mats?
Also, I foolishly ripped off my fire wall material because I had my heart set on just bed lining it and leaving the carpet out. But I cleaned up my carpet really well and am thinking about putting it back in. Where can I pick up some of the firewall material? Do I have to just go pull some from a jy?

Actually it's sold as rubber garage flooring. 42" wide at $4 a foot. It's got a diamond plate theme on it, stuff is like 3/16" thick. It's very similar to this stuff, except actual rubber instead of PVC: http://www.pittman.ie/rubber-floor-m...-722438pd.html

Is that that crap that keeps getting in the way that hangs down from the dash? Rubber mat with some foam on it? I dislike the idea of the foam, you could use the stuff I found or Dynamat or something.

Did you throw that down and then your carpet? I'm interested in putting something like that down. Where did you pick it up at, and how much material? Did you order off that link?

And Yea, it was a big PIA trying to do all the welding around it and stuff so I just ripped it out. And yea I'm def interested in something over just the floors to kind of take some noise out. I have some like padding that I got from a U-Haul truck, looks similar to the stuff that is on the underside of the carpet. I was thinking about adding that as well but Iv'e read that rubber material absorbs the sound better.

Yeah it's under the carpet. Most of it is just temporary to keep crap out from between the carpet and floor - except the cargo area. I have the whole section done like that but I put the carpet there back on because I haven't covered the wheel wells yet. And no, I picked mine up at a Canadian chain called Princess Auto. They sell tools, farm, truck, trailer, welding, etc. Super cheap. I think they're the equivalent to Harbor Freight?

Eeeew water-absorbing mold-growing filth. Definitely go the rubber route. If it's a permanent installation especially under carpets make sure you seal that stuff REAL well. Carpet will at least let some mess evaporate as it's porous, rubber sorta isn't. Dynamat is adhesive so takes care of that. There's also rubberized undercoating which can do the trick.

Good stuff, just find the rubber dealy. A store in the US has gotta have it. Next time I visit Princess Auto I'll try and get the brand name.
