May 14, 201213 yr Author Spent the day removing the headliner and found all the roof braces seperated from the roof. Soo I spent the day reattaching the roof to the braces with so very high strength epoxy and man did that this harden up. I did not take many pictures and will post them shortly.
May 14, 201213 yr Author This is what the front doors looked like before I removed all of it and covered it in SS.
May 14, 201213 yr Author Now the part that took all damn day! If you notice the braces are not attached to the skin. So I used epoxy from my father in law and got busy. The braces are solid and covered in SS.
May 14, 201213 yr Author I still have the back doors to do yet and I hope to get them done tomorrow.This is the first and last time I will go to this extent deading a vehicle, it is a lot of unfun work!
May 14, 201213 yr Author Almost forgot about this. I was removing the wiring for the headliner and pulled my hand out from under the dash and blood every where! Got it cleaned up and I just glued it together. All is good now.

I called that one boss. Mine did the same. Knew it as soon as I heard it. Good work.

I just about shit when I saw it, It is fixed and the roof is completely covered with SS and a nice layer of 3M material.
May 15, 201213 yr Author Ouch! It hurt me worse to see the damage the XCON's did! Some super glue and things are good.
May 15, 201213 yr Author Ok so it has finally quite raining and I took the 4runner out for some highway time. Now before all the SS the ride was very quiet, but now it is almost dead silent! Next step will be to get some mlv for all the doors.
May 15, 201213 yr Admin Very attractive truck. Do you ever get the urge to drive around with the mask on in rush hour?
May 15, 201213 yr Author Thank you Aaron. I wear my mask around very frequently. They tried talking me into a new one last week and I said no thank you.
May 15, 201213 yr Admin Thank you Aaron. I wear my mask around very frequently. They tried talking me into a new one last week and I said no thank you.Your truck looks great for a 2005. Would be classic to have Mendelson or Chikofsky blaring and pull up to a red light with that on.
May 15, 201213 yr Author I will try that out for you as soon as I get that music.I do my best to take care of things. Thanks again for the compliment.

May 17, 201213 yr Author Just a little update here. Last night I was ripping pretty good on music and I could not believe the difference adding the deading made. Not only does it make for a quiet ride, but the sound rolls super smooth and the body does not sound like somebody is trying to punch holes through it.I do have some more SS coming thanks to Jon, this will finish up the deading end and then on to MLV.
