Thermoshield is available at Pep Boys for I believe $40 for a 4 by 6 slab. Maybe its 8 feet... I can't remember. Either way, compared to other products after reading the specs, I was very impressed with the price and the fact that I could pick it up down the street in the store rather than wait for it to be delivered. My entire cargo area is covered on the floor with frost King foil backed closed cell foam self-adhesive padding: and thermoshield... It's absolutely incredible on keeping the noise down and equally or more important at some times, keeping the cold off my back when I camp back there. I also have the panels insulated with sound deadening and frost King... That was equally as helpful with sound and climate control... At Pismo, recently, it got pretty cold at night and I was so warm I couldn't even keep my sleeping bag on... The only thing left to do is the doors up front and the back door. I have to ground the rear window switch and roll up the window so I can get some sound deadening and frost King in there as well. I love it, to answer your question in three words!

Jk but in all reality I couldn't finish the whole thread lol. I do have to say he has a bunch of helpful information on the thread though. Do us all a favor and grab a pen and paper and note down what projects were done on what pages so we could eventually (when u finish) have an index to this huge book. Lol

Very few have made it through reading through the entire Chefyota4x4 build thread. It's a rigorous challenge of many pages to read. Should you be able to read through it all you would have done the near impossible. Lol good luck sir I tip my hat to you bahahaha.

If I were to catalog it I don't think I'd ever have time to work on my own rig, I'd spend the rest of my days organizing the info haha

Jeeeesh! I'm sooooooo sorrrrry! Hahahahaha.... Jk.... It is what it is. I just spend around 20 min a day and catch up with everyone.... Read every page of yours' since you started, Richard, Ray, Jonny, Terry, Dragon, Grego, Jerry, Brandon (xxx and GWNortherner, lol), Jason, Andrew, Mike, N8, ....etc, etc, etc...( I don't know was understand it but I read it! Lol.) ....But it's ok, .....I understand........
Hahahahhaha.... Just messin. It's alot to read, and I would do a summary, along with joining my 25 or so other threads, totalling around 650 pages all together... But I'm too busy and I spend this spare time on here, usually, helping others, either in PM's or in their threads.... So unfortunately, it's gonna have to stay a mess.
Terry makes me feel like that, Jonny! Hahaha...
And, obviously I understand how daunting it is to get through my thread,...... otherwise I would have done it to make that glossary already! Hehehehehehe!
RAD, aka "Mr. D in the place to be!", lol....
How about the M.O.R.E./ Holiday 200???...
http://www.moreracing.net/
Or, we could romp around the Angeles Crest, that way we can all wheel, some of us extreme and down to as mild as you want for Grego and you, etc.? ? ? Orrrr, just hangout at my pad and talk shop/eat/knock out some lingering gremlins?
haha

Surely, Richard! We'll need schematic for your V6, and all present would be suspect IF your truck ever gets stolen 'cause we know where the kill switch (or switcheS) would be LOL!
Probably just hang, hunt for gremlins and eat. Got recipe for gremlin stew, Mark? LOL!

I think I'm down for the MORE race, or Angeles crest, or hangout, but probably only 1 of the three is multiple events end up happening. I'll have to spend some quality time with my Subie engine sometime soon.
