sound reducing
So, my 95 XJ is gutted. No carpet at all. It only has the seats, but it is pretty noisy inside. What can I do to reduce some of that noise from my exhaust, engine etc....

No matter what you do youre not going to quiet it. My carpet is gone and I have 4 coats of bedliner on it thats says its a sound deadener too, but it doesnt seem like it. As much as I hate the carpet in there, getting wet, etc., Im thinking about putting it back in. Realistically, if I take care of it and watch the water (I NEVER soak the inside) the floor should last loner than Ill have her at this point (took 12 years for the floor to rust really badly and that was because of a leak). Really, if you dont WANT carpet, there isnt much you can do.

I put conveyor belt material from UPS throughout my entire floor. Just as quite as the carpet was but much easier to pull out and hose down. Any rubber material would work great

It is a little tiny bit thinner than the dynomat but works great! and Sooo much cheaper (inexpensive). My brother and I installed that stuff into his truck -on the roof-..works outstanding considering the comparison to the Dynomat that i have on my Jeep's roof.
I think we paid like $15 for the roll of it and that covered his single cab truck's roof.
good luck

Yeah I think what you're referring to is Quick Roof, aka Peel-n-Seal if you buy it from Lowes. Works pretty good, I did the floor in my Mustang with it. Only downside is it comes in like a 6" wide roll so it's a bit time consuming to do your whole floor with it.

Wouldn't the dynamat or similar stuff be a problem if water gets in? I cut the carpet out of mine when I redid the floors so I didn't put it back in. I didn't like the gray either, but now I plan on getting some cheap black carpet. Something weatherproof like the stuff floor mats in buildings are made of. It holds up to water/salt and is rubber backed which should be good for sound deadening.
