It has water leaks and the steering box has been broke but I fixed that , the box is junk too , need a cab and box !!!!

Oh good. phew. I was worried I was marring my short lived reputation!

I will add "You are the Man!"

BSchwarzli, or anyone else, I wonder if anyone has tried to spray the roof with bedliner material to reduce noise and heat transfer.... I know in the summer, I can feel the heat radiating from the roof in the summer with short hair.... A good poly bed liner should insulate a little, both noise and heat transfer.... Just curious here. I want to do it to my old Prospector and perhaps the Power Wagon.....

 

[RSchwarzli]

I have not personally tried the roof but I have done the insides of all my doors with the stuff! And then I covered it over with dynamat type of material as it did squat compared to what I felt it should do. The bottom like is you need something with some depth to absorb the sound and repel the heat. With the headlines in the 90 is is good. Without it even though I have dynamat on the roof too, it sounds echo-y.

 

[HHhuntitall]

Hmmm, well, those trucks didn't come with a headliner, so I was looking for something that might work cheaper than a headliner and still look kinda decent... Sound's not as important as heat block, in this app. I may try to Fat-Mat it and spray the bedliner over it to flatten it out a little better..... Poly is so hard to remove if put on correctly, I'm hesitant to just do it without testing or someone else's input..... I want to run it down the pillars, too, and cover the back of the cab for insulation.... Maybe I'm just dreaming..... And maybe I'll just do it to the Prospector just to try it.... It can't hurt the poor thing any!! I already gotta weld up the cab posts at the roof that are cracked from off road use.....

 

[RWherley]

Try getting a headliner out of a 91 to 93 from the junk yard and put it in.

 

[RSchwarzli]

Agreed. Bone yard!

And for what it's worth, all sheetmetal in my cab has a double layer of fatmat. It did make a decent difference.

 

[HHhuntitall]

Normally, I'm not one to argue.... wait, that's not true... :-laf The problem is I don't think the headliner will stay in it... this truck likes to jump.... Hence the reason I want to go with something glued in.... Now, when the headliner goes in, what has anyone done to help reinforce it to stay up?

 

[RSchwarzli]

Umm, the cardboard has a form that is held up by the trim. Thats it. And it doesnt move. LOL

Yeeeeaaaaahhhhh..... about that..... I've seen it move.... it falls down. The trim breaks. It ticks me off and I rip it down, crunch it, and drag it out the door when I get out.... with the dome light.... Not sure where, but it's somewhere in Northern NM, just South of the Colorado line, East of La Plata, West of Lake Navajo, couple miles SouthWest of One Tree Mountain...... With the stupid dome light still in it... Probably doesn't help that I was airborne........

May I suggest more fiber for you to assist with the anger management?

Nahhh, I stay full of it..... And anger is the only thing that gets me through the day anymore....

Do you know anywhere where i can find the grille shell/frame. I can't seem to find anywhere. i just want to find the stock chrome one. Thanks!

 

[RWherley]

Geno's has the remakes for sale, as for the factory dodge ones, good luck they don't make them and all out of dealer stock, you can find them on ebay now and then but they want an arm and leg for them.

LOL OK, Grandpa.

What he said. The aftermarket ones are not bad but they do NOT say Dodge on them like they should.
