Don't gloat lol
that was fast.  I DO wish i had a convertible for the summer though...Fresno, CA gets darn hot sometimes.  I can always remove my back windows w/ 3 screws, and roll down the front windows.  I am still considering buying a spare back hatch to cut down, and spare doors to cut down to half doors.  You can always do that too.  Safarikick made an EXCELLENT LOOKING pair of half doors, that's an option
God put me on earth to accomplish a certain number of things.  Right now I am so far behind, I will never die.

I got my sound and heat/cool insulation from JC Whitney, cheap and effective. I completely gutted the interioir, removed smelly carpets etc, then Herculined the complete tub, including the door interiors. Then, with all the panels off throughout the truck, i used the sound insulation, followed by the jute mat type insulation everywhere but the floors. The floors got some removable mat insulation, covered with thick rubber mats, also removable, cut from my old pickup factory bed mat. Very thick and sturdy, washable, and really helps quiet it down inside. NO problems with wind leakage or cooling or heating. But it's a tintop.

Hey Bent! I love your tracker, I saw those photos of yours on flicker. I was looking for rubber matting material, did you just use regular heavy duty replacement floor mats or did you mat the entire floor with one big roll of the material? What did you use for that?

The floor mats are seperate pieces cut from a pick up bed floor liner, factory, from my old Tundra. It was a dealer item they threw in when I bought my Truck. Stuff is like 1/2 in thick rubber, very heavy duty. I just cut it to shape and fit individual pieces so I could remove them for cleaning etc.
