Now somewhere in here is a step where I spent a couple nights realigning the door locks and regreasing everything so the doors and tailgate now lock. Also they latch and in the case of the doors are a one finger close job.
Anyway, back onto things I have photos of.
Step 2, Clearly that carpet had to go. There was only carpet in the front of the cab and no underlay. Road noise was spectacular and there was some nice warm exhaust draft comming up through the hole in the floor around the shifter.
Removing the carpets we find a couple of surprising things. Firstly, a lack of rust. Secondly, Mook is a jonny and coke kinda man.
Now, there have been some crazy accusations flying around that I'm a hoarder. On a unrelated note, here is a brand new carpet sitting on the roof of a ute with 5 years of dust.
Fitting some dense sound matting under the carpet. A bored dog does wonders at holding things in place.
And the underlay is fitted. You'll notice the hole around the shifter has been fixed while we're at it.
And finally the carpet is in.
